I was wondering what people's unusual (or usual) fears are. I have seen a lot of posts about scary clowns recently.

I have a fear of there being worms in body (tape worms, neurocysticercosis...etc). I know it sounds weird but I was looking at my blood under a microscope a year or so ago and there were a group of blood cells grouped together that made them look like worms, and I freaked out. However it can't be too weird because there is actually a name for it:

Helminthophobia --> www.phobialist.com

However there is also a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth (Arachibutyrophobia) and Genuphobia (fear of knees)
that list is really addicting to read. I need to find something more productive to do
Yeah. I'm fucking terrified of what is going to happen to the world in 50 years when the people who grow up in today's education system and culture are in charge of things.
we're not all bad...
Fair enough... but far too few young people today can read or write sensibly, and there is less and less emphasis in our schools on the liberal arts. It's frightening. When I get undergrad papers to grade and they have used textspeak in an academic essay, I not only cringe, I want to throttle somebody
I am afraid of heights
I resemble that remark, Durrasch!!
I have arachnophobia, a morbid fear of spiders. I have been in many embarrassing situations because of this. I don’t think you guys want to know..
I have a phobia of heights ..my other one is swimming where it is so deep I cannot see the bottom of the area I'm swimming in...I cannot swim in deep lakes and certain seas...freaks me out
My favorite phobia of all time is Triskaidekaphobia...the fear of the number 13. I am not afraid of the number 13 but it sure is a fun word to say. LOL
I'm afraid of mirrors. it's not a phobia i just get uncomfortable around them. A) look at me and b) in horror films people are standing by a mirror and either lean over and theres someone dead behind them, they turn into something dead, something dead pops out at them, or they lean down and when they come up something is behind them. I hate mirrors.

ooh, Blind... that makes me think of my irrational fear of walking by parked cars in the dark. Something freaky is going to reach out from under one of them and slash my Achilles tendon as I walk by, and then it's going to eat me on the sidewalk. I don't know whether that one has a name.

Please tell me you have never written a university (or any level school, for that matter) essay saying things like "u can c from this example."

Unless, of course, your essay was some kind of a communications or linguistics study or somethiing like that, directly related to the effects of new media on the language. Then I guess u could indeed use such an example.

yeah but like i said im not completely terrified to the point that i cant be around them at ALL. I just hate being around them and will avoid them.
I cant have a mirror in my room. If there is one in a place im staying in i either take it out or if its nailed in or secure i cover it. it just bugs me.

After I watched Candyman I hated mirrors, and they make me uncomfortable too.
Spiders. I'm frightened of the huge ugly ones that are completely harmless, but the small venomous ones don't bother me.

SNAP I have that same fear...I think it was after I watched the movie urban legend
I feel the same Durrasch. There's a test the kids in Florida were taking called the FCAT. Simple basic things that the kids should know by the time they get to high school. If they couldn't pass, they couldn't graduate.They could on the other hand get a certificate of completion.
One father wrote in Letters to the Editor in the local paper that his son had worked hard in school and just because he couldn't pass the FCAT he couldn't graduate and go on to MED SCHOOL!!
I about flipped out. I'm sure we all want a doctor tha can't spell or add simple numbers writing script for us and having lives depend on him.
I'm literally scared to death of all bugs, even the ones that are harmless and have wings.

Entomophobia

Spiders.
A psychiatrist friend of mine actually said my fear of spiders was the worst he'd ever seen.
I actually flipped out at the spider scene in the second Harry Potter movie and had to leave the theater.
And my #$^*&$#@ husband has never let me forget it....he's getting leftovers for dinner tonight now that I think about it...:-)

I have a friend who saw a spider in my house like a year ago. She was over the other day and kept looks around. Finally I asked her what she was doing. She said she was looking for spider. Because the one she saw a year ago probably had friends. She then I saw a picture in my biology text book and flipped.

I happen to like spiders. When I was 5 I had a pet tarantula named harry that would sleep on my head.
Thats not right how they treated that poor gator, they could have damaged his eyes or broken his legs. There is no point in doing to the gator what they did, I know they have to tap his mouth closed but they dont need the rest, that is just cruel punishment and they should be sent to jail for it. No one has the right to abuse an animal.

They did everything by the book with the gator and it wasn't hurt.
