Wasps, and spiders. But mainly wasps, hate the things!

clowns and china dolls....just no!

Yes, those porcelain faced dolls that inhabit horror films, clown versions of those.
Whoever manufactures those, sells them, and the people who buy them, or gift them, all are clearly the spawn of Satan.

robots taking everyones jobs in 15 - 20 years from now causing millions to become unemployable.

Wasps.

Oh wait, that's not irrational. Wasps are evil and will sting you at any opportunity.

There are few things genuinely more satisfying in life... than punching a wasp.

Yes, beyond irrational. But will not say.

Is it telling people about your irrational fears?

I wouldn't worry - nothing is odd in GD.

Wow, I missed someone's post, and I have exactly the same.
Apparently quite common? thought I was the only one :eek:

I have a phobia of bbuttons, on clothes.
Apparently when I was a kid being dressed for a wedding, I wouuldn't stop crying untiil I was undressed.

I really hope nobody reads this who knows me. I've told a friend before and what a mistake that was.

Also, my dad has a fear of ketchup.

Anything that sounds like it is buzzing. You'll quite often catch me flapping my arms about and jumping in the air down the street to the sound of a hedge trimmer if I have mistakenly thought it a wasp near by?

Thunderstorms. It's the uncertainty of when and where lightning will strike and the loud boom that comes with it. Perhaps not so irrational since lightning can harm you can you cannot control it.

Oh and hard work

Walking around in the dark or if I can't see (blindfold for surprise party etc). Not because of the boogy man etc but I've got extremely poor balance which is so bad that if I close my eyes I fall over after about 15secs without even moving as my inner ears are shot to hell.

This makes walking when I can't see a nightmare as I can't take more than a few steps without falling over (a bit like being drunk). If I open my eyes I'm instantly balanced again and can walk fine.

Not so much a fear but I absolutely HATE the sound of velcro. Sends shivers down my spine.

Sandpaper... I just cant touch it go near it even say it without getting shivers . I know it wont do me any harm etc.. just think its the texture . god knows.

Can you touch chalk, balsa wood or polystyrene ceiling tiles?

With I have no fear of doing so, the texture of the above seems to confuse the hell out of my fingers and feels like a low voltage electric shock to me.

Not a phobia but rubbing two sheets of paper together, writing with chalk and a few other things just give me the shivers, feels wrong man

I can't stand on top of a shower drain (even if it has a cover) - I blame watching X-Files episode 'Tooms' for that when I was younger.

Y'all crazy.
