    I detest insects, can't stand to be near them

    Like Novella, accidentally biting on a fork or spoon

    As per the recent thread in here, i'm not ok around trans-sexuals...it took an amazing amount of willpower to shake minidazzler's hand at the AH beers...

    Adverts on tv where they try to get babies or animals to talk like grown up adults, or do stuff adults can do...uh weird!!:eek:

    Not as extreme as Jack Nicholson's character in As Good As It Gets, but i dont like walking on cracks in the ground for some odd reason...

    And i try my damned hardest to type normal English in text messages, i have a fear i'll lose proper comprehension otherwise:pac:

    Cotton wool. I can look at it but if I have to touch it it's just horrible. Also the feel of velvet and chalk.

    I think it's something to do with not liking my skin being dry or something?:confused:

    I have a few too many, unfortunately. :o

    Tomato ketchup; it is absolutely revolting. My hatred of it has developed into fear.
    Nail files; can't be in the same room as people filing their nails.
    Face paint; I can't stand looking at people (even children) that have their face painted.
    Cycling; I will never, EVER get on a bike for the rest of my life.

    I'm also terrified of wasps, but I imagine that's a common enough phobia.

    Oh, and

    When eating a roll which is wrapped in Tin foil, i have to unwrap it completely for fear I might chew a piece of Tinfoil, I absolutely hate that sensation of Tin foil on my teeth.:mad:

    When ever I'm at the top of a ladder I hate the though of the ladder toppling backwards with you on the top of it, I happened to me once and I get feerce freeked out ot might happen again... I hate that feeling of lost balance.

    The feeling of mud under your fingernails after a day gardening, I have to get every bit clean or I'll be clenching my fists to avoid the feeling for the rest of the day.

    Tearing cotton woll, I hate that squeeky sensation when ripping of a bit off.

    Wow I'm wierder than I though!

    I have a slight phobia about the number 13, honestly don't know where it came from and it seems quite stupid.

    It bothers me enough that I think about the number when a multiple of it comes up (26,39 etc).

    It's kind of annoying really, phobias...

    Why exactly do you think this? There's plenty of pharmacological data about the pathways associated with paracetamol to support that they should work. :confused::confused:

    Well, it's not that I think paracetamol doesn't work in general. I mean, if I had a headache, taking two Panadol wouldn't do anything for me. It'd go away without taking anything. So I just don't bother.

    I get that there's research to support that it does work.

    Afraid of the curtains being slightly open when I am in bed.

    Walking past mirrors in the dark.

    The toilet flushing at night freaks me out for some strange reason.

    I also salute magpies... I wonder where this came from.

    I fear food that doesn't have the same texture as it looks like it would have.
    Especially when it's gooey and it doesn't look it. Eugh.

    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.

    a car model called an El Camino. It's like a sedan with an open back like a truck. Thank God Chevrolet stopped making them in the late 80's. Without fail, the rare time I do see one, it's being driven by an extremely creepy looking person, as in serial killer creepy.

    People picking their nose. Or kids with that radioactive stuff in their nose. I have been known to vomit on the spot when I've seen both of these things :o

    Ghosties, knees, snakes, sharks.

    So not that much really. Snot wins though :mad:

    I cant let people touch my food which is'nt very odd these days to be fair..

    I cant breath on my food especially liquid/milk foods like a bowl of cereal..im afraid there'll be germs landing in it if I do. I generally wash my hands until there's only bone left..I got slagged for that in school..I had to wear cotton gloves and paraffin oil to stop them geting infected..so it kind of had the opposite affect! They're more like germ obsessions than fears.
