th1stleandr0se Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 As mentioned as well, deep water where I can't see the bottom scares me. I was snorkelling in Turkey in crystal-clear water and you could see clearly to the bottom, looking down at about the height of a two-storey building. I wasn't scared but it did give a real feeling of vertigo. So seeing the the bottom might not actually help. Reading all this makes me feel like I'm the freak since I don't really have any irrational fears (that I know of yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewbo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Can't believe I'm the first to say these but synthetic sponges and chalk both freak me out, can't hold on to them or watch people hold them, very strange. Also people touching their eyeball, I can do it to myself no bother but when other people do it I get really uncomfortable and have to look away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I always thought Charlie Miller was a fun guy. I'm afraid there's not mushroom on this thread for puns like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uni Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Another vote for Moths here. Fucking hate them so much, I can't be in a room with moth(s) flying about. Don't know why I'm so scared of them, I can deal with just about everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Along with Cotton Wool I have an irrational fear of small dogs such as highland terriers, they just seems to be sizing up my ankles for a quick meal I swear it. Also I can't be left on the deck of a ferry, like the train/pier/cliff scenario I often find myself looking over the side looking down onto the water thinking "yep, you could jump here....why not try" Thing is I hate swimming.

Lisa Cuddy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I don't have a fear of cotton wool, but I hate touching the stuff. I get dry skin on my hands sometimes, so it just In fact, I'm not finishing that sentence because I can already feel my skin crawling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 When does dislike turn to fear? I have no idea. Only thing I can think of is that when I die, I don't want to be cremated because I can't stand the thought of my ears and toes getting burned.

Dunning1874 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The sound of someone sweeping. As in brushing up leaves on a pavement. My skin's crawling just thinking about it. One of my mates freaks out if he sees a balloon flying away. Balloons tied down or floating up to the ceiling indoors are fine, but the second they start flying away into the sky he can't handle it.

Funnily enough, the book I was reading this mornign goes into great detail about what happens to a body once it is buried. I wonder if people who knew all that would still want to be buried and not toasted over a hot fire. I want to be toasted over a hot fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 whats the book called, sounds interesting It was actually a scene in "Phantom" by Jo Nesbo, where they reopen a sealed coffin, froma fairly recent murder, to extract some evidence. When the earth is removed around the coffin, the first thing noticed is the loud sound from within, of fly larvae in flesh. Apparently the eyeballs go very early, being our tastiest part.

Mak Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There's quite honestly something about sheep that freaks me the f**k out. I can't even explain exactly what it is beyond that sheepy way that they look at you. It's unnerving. This is hardly on the level of a phobia, but I honestly feel uncomfortable around sheep. It's weird, because the normal ones like spiders, wasps etc don't bother me much at all. I chase wasps around my house with a glass and bit of paper so I can let them out of the window rather than killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian86 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Wee story for anyone with the moth phobia. My dad knows a guy who once got one stuck in his ear. He tried to get it out and ended up killing it and jamming it deep in his ear. He had to get it taken out in hospital. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
