Irrational/Random/Funny Fears?

in Chit-Chat
So for the first time this year its hot enough that I have to turn on my overhead fan to cool off my room. I pulled the string and for some reason it was on the highest setting possible, and I was like....NOPE. *switch to lowest setting possible*

I have this really random fear that if the fan is on the fastest setting it will spin itself off and come crashing down and chop off my head.

I know this is (for the most part) logically impossible, I don't even know why I think this will happen. Something on a tad more serious note, a person I knew passed away a couple years ago, and when we went to her viewing I was told to go up and put a flower on her. When I went up there I immediately and without warning had this irrational and highly inappropriate fear that she was gonna reach out and grab me and kill me. Again this is logically impossible, and I don't even know why I thought that.


So my question is, does anyone else have a really random fear that even they are not sure of, in terms of the cause or source?

PS: I honestly don't know why people are afraid of clowns. Even after seeing IT.

    i am terribly afraid of clowns. I also am afraid of the ceiling fan crashing down on me. It's just human nature I suppose.

    I'm afraid that my hard-earned muscle will start going catabolic if I don't eat every 2 hours and do any significant calorie burning exercise outside out the gym.

    I am terrified of bathrooms... My heart starts beating faster, I get really paranoid feeling. It is worse in public bathrooms or if I am in a bathroom witha closed shower door. I often make my fiance stand outside the door if I have to take a shower instead of a bath. I leave the door cracked any other time. I wish I could relax in there, but I just cant :( People always comment on how quickly I am in and out :laugh:

    Deep sea creatures. Like the fish with a lantern on its head? Only the size of my hand. TINY. Still freaks me out whenever I see one on tv!

    fear:
    emetophobia - vomiting and nausea (cuz it could lead to vomiting).

    aversion:
    modern pop-country music - don't know why but I get super tense and irritable and must leave the area - it makes me feel like punching something hard and I'm normally easy-going.

    My niece put it best, you should not trust a person in a costume, with heavy face paint, trying to get close to children. Same with Santa.

    I fear I will never meet and marry my soul mate.
    I feel hopeless when it comes to love.
    I think about it when I wake up in the morning until I go to sleep at night.
    I dream about it and I obsess about it.

    .....True Story...

    Elevators. I absolutely hate them! Ever since I saw Ghost Dad (yeah, the old Cosby movie) when I was a kid, I can't do them. I am always afraid the cables are going to snap and down I go!
