Silly, irrational fears...do you have any?

[terrya]

I have this morbid fear that while I'm running to catch the El, I'll trip, fall into the train tracks just as the train is pulling up. Splat!

I know this isn't going to happen. But I swear I think about that.

Do you have any silly, irrational fears?

1. Yes, a bush victory......

[skygazer]

2. Yes, but it's humiliating

~blush~ When I was a little kid, my mother would tell me not to poke my finger in my belly button because it would come untied and my skin would fall off (isn't that a great thing to tell a kid? My mom was great but had some odd moments).

To this day, I am horribly squeamish about my belly button.

4. kinda cute, not humiliating at all

Moms can be something else!

9. Who was your mom, Tim Burton?

What a great visual for a macabre children's book!

3. dental work

I must have NO for cleanings.

5. I keep checking the news

to see if the repugs have caught bin laden...like they have had him for months and made him do that tape so they can say they traced him from it...

oy!

6. Hookhand lives in the woods near my house.

If I don't keep body parts at least a foot away from the bathtub drain while it's draining, they'll surely get sucked in. If, gawd forbid, I'm still in the tub when that little whirlpool thingie starts with the slurping noise, I will surely die.

Many, many more.

7. I get really uptight when I drive under

airplanes particularly the small low flying ones. It's a tough fear to have when one lives close to an airport specializing in those types of planes.

I don't think it's necessarily irrational, though - I saw a small plane crash in our neighborhood when I was younger.

12. Just remember:

You'll never see the one that gets you!

8. Odd fear re: telephone conversations

I have this completely ridiculous fear of ending a business phone call with "I love you". So, inevitably, I think to myself "Don't say I love you, don't say I love you", which invariably almost makes me say "I love you". But so far, I haven't slipped up.

I have no idea how this fear came to be.

Mostly.

PS I Love you.

PPS DAMMIT!

10. Yes, Impotence n/t

[achtung_circus]

15. That's not irrational

so it doesn't count.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. that I will fall off the sidewalk and into traffic while walking

to the bus stop.

(about like yours)

13. I'd never post it.

Afraid some crazy ass freeper will lock me in room 101 or something. :scared: :tinfoilhat:

14. spiders

but I consider it totally rational. They are just creepy. :scared:

16. fish bones

can't touch fish that still has bones in it, and I can't even go near a whole fish without being sick.

17. No, but my brother

was worried the world was going to run out of paragraphs.
