Irrational phobia thread. Tooth brushing, foil biting, what's yours?

I cringe when i hear the word squat (*shudder*) - I just find it a really offensive, yucky word.

My offensive word is pudding
My closest friends all know this and think it's hilarious when I nearly gag every time they say it, whether it's on purpose or whether they're seriously discussing something to do with puddings.

PUD-DING
puDDing

*gag*
 
i get creeped out seeing roller coasters being built or taken down, and also driving by amusement parks when it's off-season. i think it comes from way too many odd dreams.

also I'm a giant pussy when I have to deal with mass amounts of bugs.

I can't handle "Hearty Meal" or even meal on it's own- but the two words together is sure to make me cringe!!
 
Today my friend told me that she has an insane fear of 'zooming in on the ocean on google earth.' Fucking hilarious.
 
-Clowns (because of the movie IT)
-Heights, but planes are ok
-Bridges and tunnels
-Flying insects...even pretty little butterflies
-The noise a fork makes on a plate.
-Looking into mirrors/windows in the dark....
 
Millipedes and pincer bugs are pretty bad... insects, uggh. Guess I'd call it a bit phobic cuz it's just something to do with the way they look and move, particularly spiders and hard-bodied bugs with lots of legs.
can't remember if i posted this:

The sound of clipping finger/toe nails

Going to the grocery store
You must be very skinny and have 8-inch toenails =D.
 
I have a friend who has an irrational fear of feet. I don't just mean.."Ew...a foot"
I mean full on panic attack with tears it someone touches her foot or a foot is near her, its very strange.
She got a pedicure before her wedding, and had to take her anxiety meds prior, so she could make it through the whole thing.
 
*Plugging things in.
*Balloons popping.
*Have to walk into another room before toaster pops.
*Looking into the mirror for too long.
*Being alone in the dark.
*Thunderstorms, even in the house.
*Places with a lot of people where I am supposed to socialize.
 
bats. they're like flying rats.
i can't stand rats/mice or anything that resembles them like hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc really freak me out. those glider things are the worst in the "pet" category. damn things have bat and rat characteristics. ewwwwww...
i can barely write "tin foil" w/out cringing.

It's not a phobia but I'm completely obsessive compulsive about making sure the bedding on our bed is perfect. I can't get into bed and shudder even thinking about it if it's messed up, the bottom sheet is pulled up under the top, one blanket half off, etc. And I have to wash the sheets very often in hot water.. I get so creeped out laying in a bed that hasn't been washed recently.

I have no idea why I'm like this as I'm not a clean freak at all in any other way. Only the bed.

Oh my god, ME TOO. I even have to make sure the sheets aren't wrinkled :o I only wash the sheets once every week but the pillow cases get changed out every few days, mostly because my husband drools and I don't always remove my eye make up 100% which then leaks all over the place if my eyes happen to water.

I feel like a slave to this obsession :p
 
Oh UNH I HATE HATE HATE the word panties too! :(

It sounds so horrible and sinister. I imagine some lecherous old man with bad teeth saying it while heavy breathing *vomit*. I seriously can't understand how adults use that to refer to undergarments and think it sounds sexy in the least.

Couple that with moist (another HUGELY HORRIBLE word) - and i think I just vomited in my mouth.
 
I hate vomiting with a passion. I hate it more than anything in life!!! As a kid, i used to have pretty major panic attacks when i needed to vomit and id actually pass out from shock before i did the deed. Id have to have someone with me to make sure i don't choke on it and die!

I haven't vomited a lot at all in my life time, id say it's because of my phobia. It is actually a condition i will never grow put of. Now as a adult, i still fear it but i suck it up a lot better now and manage to just do it. I get scared if i vomit and i am alone, just in case i die :\

It's the same as people who are afraid of heights, and spiders and clowns....

The last time i vomited which was back in 2007 - i was so proud of myself... i was hit with a bad case of gastro and after fighting off the vomiting for about 5 hours, i finally caved in and came to terms with the fact that it just had to happen, and as i walked up the hall way i tied up my hair and all! I was sooo good about it. I HATED it, but i coped :D and i was ok!

That night though, when i chucked for the 5th time i started to get a bit upset about it. It came up my nose, and i kept heaving and nothing was coming out and then i started getting panicy thinking i was gonna spew my my heart and lungs and die!
 
And regarding words that gross me out, i HATE the word 'pussy'

I now have a issue with that word ever since a time when i was on a heavy dose of acid, tripping away enjoying myself, and this sleazy guy that was a friend of a friend came over to me and asked me "if my pussy is wet"

Ever since then i have had a huge issue with the word.

=D it's funny, but disturbing at the same time.
