I have a friend who's got serious phobias about sponges (not the edible kind) and velvet. She'll actually be sick.
We both don't like spiders.

I don't like lakes/deep water, fear of falling and I have a new fear of ants

I think that's just about the best word I've ever seen!!! Am glad I don't have it tho.

I knew a girl with a severe, severe fear of sponges. It was quite funny really.. but very odd.. and most definitely genuine.

I don't obsess over this fear and it doesn't affect my life or anything but.....if a great big hairy rotten white moth (or any colour) flies into a room I'm in or anywhere near me, my heart races, I lose my breath, I sometimes scream (I'm not usually a screamer

) and I have to leave the room straght away - doesn't matter where I am or who's company I'm in, they freak the sh*t out of me

Is that a phobia?!

*Lees*

Im not sure if it would be classed as a phobia since I'm not actually afraid of it but it makes me physically sick when someone rubs their palms along the dash in a car... or rubs their palms off my palms!!:o

Was she actually afraid of sponges???

+ 1 :eek::eek:

I got "attacked" by one before.. it kept flying at me! My brother pretends to be a moth sometimes to freak me out runs after me flapping his hands saying "flutter flutter flutter" (It's supposed to be the noise a moth makes!!) Oh and he's 28! :rolleyes:

I have one that stems from when I was child, Its called..............

Yoremaphobia

Lizzykins

As kid I was terrified of cranes and nearly ran under a car one time when I spotted one. Was phobic about flying for years but got over it when I got sick of hearing people talk about their great holidays.

Wet tea bags. I cannot be near them. The sight of them, the smell.

Toto Wolfcastle

I'm boring. I'm just scared of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, hamsters, etc. BIRDS!! Oh God, birds. Especially pigeons.

I can kind of understand that sponge thing, but I'm not scared of them!

I know someone with a fear of feet. Bloody strange. How does she put on socks?

How could anyone be afraid of a sponge??? I love an ol' chew on a sponge (weird pregnancy craving alert), they're bloody great.

I'm terrified of Spiders, and odd numbers.

Ergasiophobia

That's why I'm posting on boards all day.

Spiders.
One night, it was very late, like 2 or 3 in the morning, we were sleeping. Then, in the still of the night a scream woke up my boyfriend taking him almost to heart failure (yes, I speak aloud in dreams). All he could understand was: "it's a tarantula!!! A tarantulaaa!!!"

Oh no, I love chewing on sponges! Especially when they're wet. (Insert sexual innuendo here) And now I'm told it's a pregnancy craving. So basically I'm just strange, cos I'm not pregnant!

The sponge chewing is quite common i believe ....

The same could be said for every phobia.

I think it's more the texture/feel/look of them, my friend really can't stand them - I know she'll nearly vomit if you come too close with velvet, not sure about sponges.
And the noise of cotton wool - she hates it.

Fast_Mover

^^cotton wool makes noise?!!

A girl who I lived with in 1st was afraid of/couldn't touch the stickers that can be on fruits sometimes eg:apples
I always had to take them off for her..so funny!:D

I've looked it up and apparently its one of the rarest forms of Pica. Makes me feel special:p

Another thing Im quite frightened of is Turkeys, they're just freaky and ugly and look much better on my plate on Christmas Day.

you know when you pull it apart? the squeak? that noise.
I cant stand the feel of certain materials... and I hate the noise of someone scratching jean material r other manmade fabrics that aren't soft like cotton (if you get me). Even the thoughts of it now... aHHHH..
