Irrational Fears… What are yours?
Andie’s best friend Jane has a fear of police officers. If she is driving and she sees a police officer driving near her, she thinks she is immediately getting pulled over and going to jail.
We asked XTU Nation if they had some irrational fears and here are some of the responses we heard:
- 3 year old has a fear of Cheerios
- A cop is afraid of other cops on the road
- A fear of ladybugs
- Ants
- Fear of David Bowie
- Here is one that is very common. Spiders (Yuck!)
- Afraid of cotton. Not like cotton clothing but cotton balls, stuffing and swabs.
- A fear of stickers and wet paper
- Butterflies
- Happy clowns not scary clowns
- Stink bugs
- Toilets overflowing. My husband would run out of the bathroom if he thought it was going to….he passed that to our son who just calls for me.
- Being trapped in an elevator
- Driving in the outside lane of a bridge because I think a gust of wind will pick my car up and drop me in the water.
- Terrified of centipedes.. too many legs.
- The Wizard of Oz! Even as an adult I can’t watch it and I shiver if I hear the music! I never liked the bad witch or the flying monkeys and Elvira Gultch!
- Scared to death of the Philly Phanatic
- Fear of dogs
- Petrified of horses. I can’t go near them look at them ride them or anything.
- Haunted Houses
- ET (Yes, the movie character)
- Fear of large vegetables
- Fear of frogs
- Penguins. It’s more of an intense hatred than fear at this point. Unfortunate childhood trauma at an aquarium.
- Terrified of buttons. Will not wear any clothes with them.
- Fear of using port-a-potties after watching the children’s movie Hoot, for fear of an alligator being inside.
- Gnomes
- A bottle of soda being shaken up
- French onion soup, because she’s afraid the cheese will get stuck in her throat making her choke and you can’t pull the cheese out because it’s so stringy.
- Crickets
- Styrofoam
