Rona Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This reminds me of when my younger son was about 6. He brought some manky old rabbit bones home and stashed them under his bedroom carpet (that's what happens when you give them a bit of culture by taking them to a museaum ) Anyway, when I evenually tracked them down and explained to him about the germs and diseases on them he said but its OK mum, I didn't touch them, I wrapped them up in my jacket!

theherd123 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Spiders for me too Kate! Dentists - in all my years of teaching i have never met a child who says that when they grow up they want to be a dentist so where do they all come from? Flying - not good with this either but i will have to face this fear again in 2 weeks! Eek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Cotton wool I can't stand the noise when you tear cotton wool apart. Makes my hair stand on end and my teeth and mouth go dry. Cotton wool balls are evil Not very good with heights I can feel funny looking over the banisters at the top of the stairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have a real phobia about being in crowds. I first thought it was claustrophobia but working in an MRI scanner convinced me it wasn't that. I just hate the feeling of being surrounded by people.......but I'm fine at concerts Maybe I'm just frightened of chavs?? It seems to overwhelm me in Birmingham city centre on a Saturday! I'm Sarah and I suffer with chavphobia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well it's not a phobia as such because I have to face it very regularly, but ear wax makes me shudder. In fact when I'm syringing someone's ears if a great glob of the stuff comes out I actually want to heave It's ridiculous, I can hold someone's hair when they're chucking up, I can dress the most disgusting smelly leg ulcers, and the bedpans I have emptied , but a little chunk of ear wax sends me all yeuccch . I do, do, do wish that cotton buds would be banned by the government, they do so like to tell us all what to do , and preventing those innocuous looking little things from being wriggled down the nation's ear canals would really give me a break I'm the same with handles, especially in public toilets, and as for the flusher handle..........I end up using a wad of toilet paper to hold it down . Also the serving spoons in buffet type restaurants when goodness only knows who served themselves before you, with possibly unwashed hands. I avoid that kind of a place like the plague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I cannot bear finding hairs in washbasins, baths, sinks etc., and if, god forbid, I find one in food, the whole meal has to be chucked away, makes me gag just thinking about it.
