Being in rowing boats.
I can do canoes and kayaks but rowing boats scare the bejesus out of me.
One of my mates can't go near anything tomato-based, e.g tomato sauce, baked beans, etc - otherwise he turns violent. I've seen him physically threaten someone who 'confronted' him with a hidden tomato!
When he orders a pizza it comes on a base devoid of any sauce. And if he orders some food and it accidentally arrives with something tomato-based then he'll either send it back or avoid eating anything that's even touched it.
Is that a claustrophobic thing CH?
I only ask because I hate claustrophobic things like tubes and trains (during peak times that is).
Good tip if you see a horse. If you can grab it's upper lip and give it a twist. It makes them go to sleep. It's called twitching
Not to be recommended to be done by the clueless as some horses react VERY violently to being twitched and will quite happily kick your head in.
27 years of working and owning horses has taught me this and I carry the scars, so don#t do it if you value your head 😀

The horsey expert at work looked quite annoyed when I told her I had been twitching local horses, that might be why.
yeah lol....she probs doesn't want to pick your brains out of the horses hooves...that is messy lol

Cobwebs. Dunno what it is about them. Don't really care if they're out of the way, but if they're on me it drives me nuts.
I've got a phobia of "out of scale things".like things that are big, that should be small. Or things that are small that should be big.
29ers?
Buttons, I try to buy stuff without buttons on and hate pearly kings/queens
I went out with a lass who was terrified of hot air balloons
she was mental in other ways as well but have very large nipples (the pad bit)

I really don't know how some of you guys make it through the day.
For some, it is most definitely not a laughing matter.
My best friend is unable to travel more than 20 miles from her house and this has been going on for donkey's years. It's called 'panic attack' and is totally debilitating for her and her family. 🙁

Is she a scouser? I've met hundreds of them who have never been more than twenty miles from their houses.
I have a friend who fears standing on metal. This includes fire escape staircases and such like.
not a phobia, but something i'm not entirely sure why it happens is any clumped up long hair (plugholes, stuck to socks in the washer/dryer) sets off my gag reflex. I've been sick pulling big clumps of hair off me socks in the morning, and my mouth is watering a bit just writing this...
Daddy log legs and dead insects/arachnids. Daddy long legs are the worst, there was a particularly bad infestation a couple of years ago when I couldn't go near any grassland from about July - October.
As I've gotten older I've managed to learn to tolerate woodlouse, in that I don't scream anymore. Gardening is still difficult though. -_-
I also have a really, really strong dislike of painted toenails - I just find them repulsive.
LONDON.
I'm shit scared of my toaster "popping" the toast before I get there. It's the "popping" sound of it being done. Freaks me out. If I don't get to the toast before it pops. I literally have to run the few more steps to the bog and have a massive violent shit.
Moths. If they're nearby it's a mild panic, but if one flys into my face you'll have to pick me off the celling. I'm shuddering just thinking about it. Strangely, I'm fine with butterflys.
Beards, Socks with sandals and Hawaiian shirts on people in Crawley. All frighten me into agoraphobia.

MTFU, seriously! 🙂
My phobia btw is vegetables. Or rather it was, managed to get over it mostly though.
But mayonnaise - ARGH!
mothercare shops used to bring me out in sweats ,no idea why

Aye. I'm 31, ex-Army, work in Iraq and it's the only thing that gives me the jeebies.

Again I understand that one.
Horrible things - all dusty and brown looking. Make me feel a bit sick when I see them up close.
I can't untie knots in string, makes me shudder just thinking about it.
There were some MASSIVE balls of wool in the shop down the road the other day that made me go all wierd.

I absolutly love untieing a knot or untangling a bag full of wires into their individual loops. Nothing more satisfying for me. Just send your knots this way!! Ha.
Brant - How did you feel about Jeremy Beadle's hands?
dolls with those funny clicky eyes, especially when one eye sticks and you get a sinister wink
lofts, no matter how far I am away from the hatch I'm sure that if I take a step backwards I'll fall down it
I reluctantly helped a guy clear out his loft and under a pile of boxes unearthed a toddler sized clicky-eyed doll which had its head crushed by the weight ontop of it. Horrible horrible dust coloured distorted child head with clicky eyes both winking independently of each other. Would happily have thrown myself down the hatch if it wasn't for the fact I had to get past the doll to do it.
EDIT. I'm also scared of people who aren't scared of horses.
Foam sponges, hate the feeling of them on my hands! Belly buttons as well hate mine being touched and don't particularly enjoy touching another persons naval.
you lot need to sort yourselves out, if you were farm animals you would be taken out back and shot.
Tree Magnet; went out with a girl who was terrified of moths, and I mean TERRIFIED!
Also a girl who was terrified of snakes. Would get really uncomfortable if they were mentioned and would run out of the room in tears if one appeared on Telly. Her mother is the same apparantly.
Guy at work gets really upset by small sticky labels on things.
Me? I cant stand touching Corduroy or seeing anyone do the same. Puts my teeth on edge. Makes me uncomfortable just writing about it 😯
my friend is scared of cows
I've got a friend who is scared of cows too, we were out for a drive round the back of Oulton Park when we came across a herd in the road and she started to panic, no problem you say, wind the windows up! Not so simple, we were in a Triumph Spitfire with the roof down, no escape!!! 😈
Bears. Big,. strong, fast, angry, huge paws, they can run and climb and swim - and be 9 feet tall all at the same time. WTF. No way. If I went camping in North America I'd be the one in the closed tank.
Also, bulls - don't mind cows but bulls scare the bejesus out of me.
And confined spaces. Went potholing once. Never again.
I almost didn't go to a job interview once because I had to use a lift. Fortunately I overcame my fear and gor the job.
And my nana's feet, clad in Amercan tan tights, being licked by her skanky poodle cross. That gave me the fear too. They're both dead now - so I'm a tad more relaxed these days.
Rubbing fabric with my hands - like Reeves & Mortimer (I think? Or Punt & Dennis?) doing that 'milky milky' thing. And my husband knows this so if he wants to wind me up/freak me out he'll rub his hand on the sleeve or leg of whatever I am wearing and it really makes me cringe.
It's kind of tricky when I am trying to make clothes - I have to handle the fabric with my fingertips.
I am also scared of fish - not on the TV or on a plate for example, I could even stick my hand in a tank of them, but being in the water when I can't see them but I KNOW they are there gets me all worried. I used to go windsurfing and actually had to stop going because this cropped up one day and I couldn't face going back in the water. I have no clue what set me off.
So, fish and fabric. :-S
