The wierdest phobia i have seen is the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. Its called anatidaephobia. No, really. http://www.answers.com/topic/anatidaephobia |

I'm terrified that one day I'll develop one of these crazy unfounded fears and will no longer be able to feel superior over those mentals which already have one.

Is that a phobia? The phobia of being terrified of getting a phobia!

That's a fucking ace phobia. I remember the first time i bumped into Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, clearly named by a Brit with a strong sense of irony. |

Heights is my only phobia, spiders etc don't bother me in the slightest but heights scare the living crap out of me.
If i have to go up anywhere high, i just have this feeling that i want to jump off to get it over with rather than have to stay up there, so my feet always stay firmly on the ground if possible.
Flying i am ok once i'm up high enough that i can't see the ground!

I was on holiday a few years ago, in a queue at a bar and the woman in front of me asked the guy behind the counter for a tea bag. The man next to her jumped out of his skin and then proclaimed to have a phobia of teabags. I wasn't convinced he was genuine though, and thought it was more an attempt to start a conversation with this bird  |

I'm the same - can't cope with heights if I'm not enclosed - break out in a cold sweat and have to really force myself to move. However flying I'm absolutely fine with, and even things like the London Eye I can cope with as I'm completely enclosed (although I wouldn't say I'm entirely comfortable doing it!). |

My favourite phobia has to be Aibohphobia, the fear of palindromes. Whoever came up with that clearly had a sense of irony.
