    Tags/labels (whatever you call them?) on clothes or even towels. I don't mind them if they're sown entirely onto the item (ie on all 4 edges) but if they are the type that are only sown on one edge and are free to flap around then I have to cut them all off every single time. I even have to chuck the tag in the bin with my eyes closed cos I can't bare to look at them. If I'm in someones else house and I have to use a towel that has the tag still on it then I will fold the towel in on itself first so I can't see the tag.

    Dogs - normal for some people but I've never been attacked by one or anything, it's completely irrational.. even little ones. :/

    My most irrational fear is bicycles. Never learned to cycle and even people cycling too near me makes me nervous.

    Aliens landing and they are hostile
    When I moved house few years ago I had to map out another escape route. Its the only thing that is beyond anyones comprehension hence you cannot plan what will happen if they do land.

    Anything insects are scary but I conquer that fear with the end of my shoe
    Aliens arent so easily exterminated

    Hub-caps. When I see a car driving past and they are not fixed on properly I freak out that they are going to fly off and hit me...

    I want a weird fear :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,202 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    I hate 'dogs ears'

    You know the kind that appear at the edge of pages on books etc...does my head in and I have to straighten them. If they are very bad I have been known to cut entire corners of books etc with a scissors...:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Mackleton


    Mine is really odd actually. When I'm walking down stairs I have a bizarre fear of falling forward and knocking my two front teeth out. It makes my teeth feel very vulnerable and exposed ,so much so, that I'm almost tempted to put my hand over my mouth to guard them.....I know, totally ridiculous but there you are.

    Also, sponges and that sort of foam filling that's in sofas and the like, if I touch it I get goosebumps and shudder, don't know where that fear came from.

    Giant crabs - like you see on discovery channel. Especially when they show the underside. They totally freak me out. I think it's because they remind me of the alien in the film Aliens when it attaches itself to the mans face. I saw that film as a child and was scarred for life!!

    Also clowns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I have a fear of keyboards.

    Proxy typing FTW !!

    50% of tofu products contain real meat.
    You have to guess which ones have the meat in them.
