    Anybody got ridiculous or stupid fears?

    The weirdest one I have is of really old movies made pre 1920's.
    I dont know why but they jsut creep me out :eek:...that and infrared photos(Not predator vision,but the ones taken using only infrared light and look sorta black &white).

    I know of quite a few people afraid of puppets and dolls but you can kinda see why they are creepy hah.

    Last year when I was cycling into work I slipped on some ice and scraped my face along the ground. I was, of course, indicating left at the time for my turn into work. Despite being right handed, ever since then I have felt very unstable on my bike when I don't have my left hand on the handlebars and I have to kinda psyche myself up before indicating that I'm about to turn left.

    Definitely my silliest fear.

    Always reminds me of the time in the local me and a few mates having a pint. Big Moth flying round the light above, as soon as it touches it, burns to death and falls straight into the head of me mate's pint of Guinness, he was a right big fooker of a thing!

    Mate was so embarrassed going back to the bar looking for a fresh pint :D

    A friend of mine is terrified of Achilles Tendons... Even the mention of them causes her to turn into a wreck. It's extremely strange.

    I was warned against saying the word 'Achilles' in front of her (as unlikely as that would be) by my other housemates after she nearly broke down in tears when they started discussing achilles tendon injuries one evening.

    The front of boats, specifically that big yoke that does be under the water. Don't ask me why.

    Shudder

    Everytime I go into the gents, I get a momentary, irrational fear that I have taken the wrong door and am actually unzipping facing an ordinary wall in the ladies.

    Know what you mean but I only get this when in the cubicle in work. Someone will come in with big noisy shoes (like heels or tap dancing shoes) and for a second I'll panic that I'm in the ladies! Try to remember if I passed urinals on the way to Trap 1 but the relief normally comes wheh I hear a manly cough trying to cover up a fart :pac:

    Umbrellas, at 6ft 2 i'm eye level with what seems to be at eye height for them wee prongs whenever anyone is near me

    I also have a slightly uneasy relationship with pigeons, I hate their brazen flying at head height antics!

    1.Am petrified I'll be brain damaged after an accident or illness and my family won't turn off life support even though they know how I feel about this.

    B. Hate clowns.:eek:

    I always get the willys when I'm crossing the threshold of a lift.. have this awful thought of the lift dropping while I'm halfway between it... would be an ugly, ugly way to go.

    So am I, but thats because one of them fcukers flew into my ear one night when I was asleep. He got lodged and I had to go to the hospital at 4am to get the fcuker removed. He was squirming and struggling all the time.

    Those bastards get splattered with my slipper now.

    Not gonna lie but some dogs scare the living life outta me!
    And yea, when I turn off the lights at night, I have to run towards the bed and get under the covers ASAP!
    And also I can't let my leg hang out of the bed incase a monster grabs it.

    That's in no way a silly fear!!

    I fear those fishing hooks that have a clasp to prevent it coming out easily. The upstarts on the bridge in my town are constantly reeling them in and out/ shudder.

    It was horrible. I would rather simultaneously break my collarbone and get kicked in the balls then have that happen again.

    In the emergency room they have this kinda vacuum sucky thing, dunno what its for. Anyway they shoved that tube in my ear, and after 20 mins or so they managed to suck it out. The little bollocks was in there struggling for over an hour.

    The doctor couldnt believe it, shudda seen his reaction when he used that yolk they have to look in your ear.
