    Oh here it goes.....

    Water features (you know like ornamental ponds)
    Driving (never got over a very minor crash - this is just annoying me now)
    Swans (dirty evil feckers)

    Actually the mirrors at night thing kinda freaks me. I was in hospital for a while when I was a kid and I remember this one night a few of us were sitting up late talking and one of the others said that if you look into a mirror at midnight you will see the devil over your left shoulder. I know its rubbish but I'm still just a little bit afraid to look

    ..........I'll be in the corner

    I dont know whether its a phobia or not but I cant handle cardboard or hear the noise thats made when you pull that box tape off cardboard! I literally shiver when I hear that!! Eugh even thinking about it now :P I think its something to do with the dryness.

    The wooden stick in an ice pop. Freaks me out - hate sucking the ice cream off it.
    Mannequins, ventriloquist dolls, porcelain dolls. DIE

    Anyone touching the back of my knees. Hate that feeling.

    Anything to do with fingernails. That f*cking flicking sound drives me demented.

    This aswell! Horrible!

    I know loads of people who hate cotton wool... Weird.

    Mine are mushrooms (mycophobia) I cannot stand them, weird fungal freaky things. Its actually bizarre how much i hate them and ive never figured out why.

    Also not quite a phobia to the extent of the mushroom thing, but I cant sit with my back to people when eating. For example in restaurants, I have to request a table that is in an alcove / booth or something where waiting staff/general people wont be passing behind me. I have gone so far as to cancel dinner reservations when Ill be in an aisle seat because I know that I wont be able to relax and enjoy my meal.

    *I am not a totally neurotic freak despite how this post makes me sound :D

    And its not that I don't like them, it is a totally irrational fear of them. I am petrified - that they will burst, or fall on me, or start to squeak, or...or...:eek: My skin crawls just thinking about them.
