That freak you out???? Such as what your strangest fears or phobias and why?

Mine is I hate looking under cabinets, behind toilets, and mascot costumes. When I was a kid we lived in a place where huge roaches roamed and mostly in our house so every time I would look under a cabinet I would find one so at 31 years old I'm still scared to look under. As far as the mascot costumes...those just freak me out.

    ...don't judge me.

    I hate crab claw movements with fingers.

    Like if someone puts their fingers to my face and makes a pinching movement (like a claw)...I just about freak out, fall off my chair, scream, shiver and have nightmares.

    No joke.

    Grasshoppers. The way they can shoot straight up into the air and then divebomb people. Plus they have those gross gripper things on their legs that allow them to stick to anything *shiver*

    Bees, because I'm allergic. And because they invade the common hallway of my apartment and swarm near my doorway, and the landlord won't do anything about it. I've been spraying (or my neighbor does for me). But I have a fear of being attacked and going into a severe allergic reaction.

    Anything with more than four legs, but I think that's a common thing.

    Certain words really freak me out.

    and I have a MASSIVE problem with cotton balls. I can't touch them, I can't talk about them. Right now I literally have goosebumps and my mouth feels all fuzzy oh god I hate them so much

    Driving in too confined of an area. Work zones with the barriers right on the lines, or driving in a middle lane with a semi truck on both sides nearly throws me into a panic attack.

    Driving over a bridge also freaks me out. I literally open a window (ven in the middle of winter) when we cross. My fear is the bridge will break when crossing, car will plumet into water, and I won't be able to get myself, and the kids out of the car.

    Totally unrealistic, my friends always gave me **** for it. Then it happened to the 35 W Bridge (minneapolis)

    Squirrels. When I was young, my grandma decided to feed some squirrels some peanuts and this huge swarm came and attacked her. This is why there are signs saying not to feed the wildlife. Ever since I have been terrified of them. The other day one was on a tree next to my car. I stood waiting for it to leave, and it ran under my car. I didn't know what to do. It eventually ran across the street so I could get in my car but my heart was pounding the whole time. I even looked around in my car to make sure none had gotten in:blushing: I hate those freakin things.

    OMG I'm so with you on the mascot costumes. I had to have someone send away a guy in a shoe costume in front of an athletic store because I was sure I would punch him if he approached me. There's just something creepy about it.

    Other things: metal touching my teeth (strange since I had my tongue pierced for almost 8yrs), people biting their fork (probably related to the first one), things that are sticky (if I spill something sticky on my desk, I have to wipe down the entire desk), bugs (I have an irrational fear when it comes to cockroaches, fleas and other bugs that can infest and hide).

    ETA: I also can't look in mirrors or out of windows at night. I am completely and irrationally convinced that something/someone will be staring back.

    ^^^THIS!! I think that movie ruined an entire generation of people, maybe even two.

    Also can't stick my feet out from under the covers. And I'm afraid of mirrors - I get up a lot during the night to go to the bathroom and I don't turn the lights on, so I'm afraid if I look into the mirrors I'll see something like a ghost. :noway:
