    I also have a weird fear of having my Achilles tendon severed.

    Hello Pet Sematary Buddy. *shivers* I don't even like being touched on my Achilles heel.

    Reading this thread has made me realize I need to seek professional help.
    The razor blade across the Achilles tendon and the one across the mouth seriously gave me shivers.

    PUBLIC RESTROOMS!!! Have you ever seen the commercial for hand sanitizer where everything looks like its covered in bacteria? Well, thats how I view every public restroom. My fear got the worst of me when I was younger. One time, on the way home from a long driving trip i had to go to the restroom. I KNEW that the drive home was 2 hours but I wouldn't go at a rest stop...i just couldn't! I was freaked out so much that I held it. When we finally got home, I ran into the bathroom like my life depended on it.

    I am also afraid of being alone in the house by myself at night... if I hear the slightest noise, it about brings me to tears I am so terrified.

    Do you have a paralyzing fear of something? Wish you didn't?

    I mean, I think I'm quite justified in fearing this because, well... I mean... just LOOK at it:

    A study showed that there was more fecal matter on theater seats than there was in public restrooms.
    Reason...restrooms (except bar restrooms) get cleaned. Those seats do not.

    Just sayin'. Wanna go to a movie?

    I will gladly give up ALL of my irrational fears. However, I don't consider having a proper depth perception, or caution around things that pose an imminent threat, to be problems.

    Given that , I have to say that clowns creap me out.
