Irrational fears?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

I am scared that I will post about "Parmesan Witch Hunts" and that it will go viral and I will become the wingnuts poster girl for liberal stupidity, like the "moran" guy.

My other one is always being afraid of dropping my car keys into the grate of a storm drain in a parking lot. A variation is constant fear that I will drop my keys into the crevice of an elevator door.

1. I used to

have a HUGE fear of bees, and an even larger fear of crossing the street, even when there was almost no traffic. No real irrational fears currently though.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

2. But fear of bees is rational. They sting and if you're allergic they could kill you.

But fear of crossing an empty street is kind of what I'm talking about. There is little or no chance harm will befall you and yet you still have the fear.

I'm also kind of afraid of space debris and frozen toilet water from passing planes falling onto me and killing me.

3. caterpillars

oh and microphones/public speaking

4. I know someone who's terrified of deer.

I don't get it, either. We live in a city.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

5. Interesting. Probably stomped at a petting zoo at a young age. Repressed memory. nt

[yewberry]

28. Hard to say. She doesn't know herself.

She grew up in Chicago, so it's possible.

Weird.

6. Dropping my cell phone in a toilet.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

7. It's nightmare with gradations depending upon WHEN you drop the cellphone.

There are some instances when you would just have to flush.

8. This...

12. Bug -"Damnit! Ruth's Chris is worth more than a goodnight kiss! Call security - see if I care!

[elshiva]

14. ZOMG! BIG, BIG WASP! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

9. Like your rings & bracelets get "loose" when you put your hand

out the window. . .

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

26. "Put your hand out too far and it goes home in another car"

Another comforting ditty hummed to me by my mother. I just assumed the jewelry went too.

[petronius]

10. That is irrational - there's no chance that enough wingnuts would understand the

gaffe for any typo like that to go viral. In fact, no matter how stupid something is, a majority of wingnuts will think it's a good idea...

[DarkTirade]

11. Roaches.

Damned if I know why. I can handle bats, bugs, snakes, lizards, poisonous spiders... no problem. But roaches just creep me right the fuck out.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

13. And those giant flying roaches with a 2 ft wingspan are Palmettos!

Sounds MUCH nicer than giant flying roaches.

[DarkTirade]

17. ... a roach by any other name would still be just as horrific.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

18. Have you ever seen one? A roach big enough to fly off with your briefcase, drop it off and

come back for your Yorkie? You'd be grateful for your little guys who still respect Black Flag.

[DarkTirade]

20. I lived in Florida for 20 years.

Gators, snakes, poisonous snakes, spiders, giant spiders, poisonous spiders, no problem.

Roaches... no.

15. stepping out of an elevator the moment the cable snaps

and getting cut in half

heh, that reply was cached

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

16. Ooh, the giant bagel slicer demise! I've never heard that variation. Nice. nt

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Pit bulls in the package store. I know, I know. I can't get over it.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

24. You're okay unless you buy them smokes or liquor. No matter how much they beg.

[Odin2005]

21. BED BUGS!!!

:scared:

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

22. "Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite". Said to countless children who wondered

"how do I keep the f!@king bedbugs from biting if you're going to put me into a bed with them?!!" Like I can STOP them from biting? You're the friggin' adult - buy a can of Raid!

23. Mississippi

I will not stop anywhere in that state. No matter how bad I have to pee or how sleepy I am.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

25. I agree. No state spelling should end with " i .p. p.i"

even as a child, I thought it was subliminal encouragement for me to pee in my pants.

[Redneck Socialist]

27. LOL! I have the car keys one too.

I can't think of anything other than that.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

29. You are very seriously disturbed. That was just a trap I laid to smoke you out. nt.

[LibDemAlways]

30. Bugs, snakes, and the creepy lizards all around my property.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

31. And why do they congregate on YOUR Property? Bwahahahah!

Perhaps your fear is not so "irrational" after all.
