Iam 6 foot 4 weigh 17 stone and I am scarred witless of spiders, the type you find in the bath are the worst.
Conversly I love snakes, lizards frogs, newts etc.

Didn't realise there were so many different phobia!

I did like this one:

Quote
Macrophobia: Fear of long waits.

I guess there's a booklet on that available in every DVLA Vehicle Registration Office!

And i guess you're a bit stuffed if you get this one:

Quote
Panphobia: Fear of everything

 ;D

Although not strictly a phobia (cos I am not aware I have any) I absolutely detest holding those little wooden ice lolly sticks. Something about the feel of them makes my hands do funny things.

Even typing about them, makes me go all funny   :o

I don't have trouble with phobias but SWMBO, whilst being able to handle any creature including spiders, just won't go to sleep if one parks on the ceiling over the bed. Muggins has to eject it, just for peace and quiet.

Again, needles. Can't even watch someone having a jab on telly. Dentists as well but can't register with one anyway. A mate of mine down south who thinks a scrap is boring if he's only got two to play with (yes i have seen it) absolutely bricks it if he sees ants, trouble is he's a builder, so has to dig out footings etc.
    On the other side of things an ex who was a well educated horsey girl got turned on peeling mushrooms. Had'nt been with her long & was making bolognase. I just chop the mushies up & luzz 'em in towards the end but she asked if she could peel 'em she got off on it!! Really! I bought alot of m'rooms for a while!!! :P :P

Not got any phobias my self but once had a doctors not come in from one of my employees it stated he had Photophobia- Fear of light. :o

it opened a whole load of questions like how did he get to the doctors to get the note??

he left the company after after a few months so never found out what happened to him

Fortunately, nobody here knows my phobia (except perhaps Marks_DTM if Mrs DTM told him).  Its irrational (ish, started with an 'incident', but still irrational).  So I'll keep it to myself.


I am also a bit scared of heights - I can deal with it, but am very uncomfortable.  Its sort of strange, but when I get too high (and can see the ground), I get a strange tingle in me gonads :o - which is why you may have heard me say things are 'bollock-tinglingly high'


Which brings me on to another point.  In my younger days, I used to take jobs purely to learn/overcome things (for example, job in data entry to lear to touchtype).  I became a telephone 'engineer' for a large Telco to overcome my fear of heights - going up poles etc.  Wasn't long before I was strapping 5 sections (about the max before flex became too much) of 2 3 section ladders together to reach tops of high buildings.  If we'd have been caught playing such stunts.....

One of the lazy idiots I used to work with started going from a medical encylopedia, starting at A.  So obvious, we were having bets on what his next ailment would be. Lazy tosser.
