Weird phobias
Anyone else have any strange phobias about everday objects? The missus rips it out of me because if i even look at a matchstick it makes me feel violently ill, also lollipop sticks ,i cant touch with my bare hands and if i touch the stick with my tounge i will actually spew my guts up
Bloke at work has to cut up any waste paper because the sound of paper being torn makes him physically sick. surely im not the only freak out there...

Lass I know gips at the sight of baked beans. Even if it's just a picture it will do it. The worst is if it's a 'naked' baked bean by itself ie no sauce.

One thing that always makes me spew is when I am eating salad and I take a bite and find out I have just bitten off half a slug, and then the other half of the slug tries to get off the plate, leaving a slimey trail on the rest of me dinner

wasps for me every time, it aint funny but my wife thinks it's hilarious. She does agree with me though that they do seem to make a bee-line (no pun intended) for me. It's so bad in the summer even a fly near my ear (but out of eye-line) can make me freak out, wave my arms frantically, shake my head and even give it toes.

watto52, man I know what you mean, I can't get enough of watching them on tv etc... put me in the same room and I want to touch but would be rigid to the spot. Ever had a dream where you look over the edge of the bed and the floors covered... sodding nightmare. I'm sure the wife has the same phobia, she never wants to go near my oneeyed trouser jobbie....

Hmmm, it's slightly off topic but the frantic waving of arms at flies and wasps reminded me of an incident.
I was at a cafe with my wife in Alicante, sitting outside, and there is a tame sparrow eating crumbs from the empty tables. It pops onto our table and then flies off. Carry on conversation and forget about the little blighter.
Must be a good ten or fifteen minutes later, when I feel something on my shoulder, quite a weight (relatively) so I say to my wife "What's that?" to which she replies "It's a sparrow"
However, she had a cold at the time and said it fairly quietly, so I heard her say "It's a spider" I then had a picture of a spider weighing a few ounces on my shoulder. To which my reaction was excessive, leapt from my chair, jumping backwards looking to stamp on the imaginary toad eating tarantula, shaking my t-shirt and whacking my shoulder etc etc.
The waitress found it so hysterical that even twenty minutes later when the water delivery guy arrived she couldn't tell him the story for tears of joy!
My wife still revels in telling that beauty!
As for everyday things other than man eating spiders, parsnips and turnips make me retch, and I can't stand cucumbers, even a knife used to cut a cucumber can't go near my sandwich! URGH! And I don't like being near people when they are eating cereal, and I like to eat my cereal on my own (with milk opened fresh that morning)
