AIBU Weird Phobias

What weird phobias do you have?
Mine is loose hairs touching me. If I have a hair down my top it drives me insane and I know straight away when there is one or if one touches me in the bath, I have to fish it out straight away. Even a stray hair attached to clothing and sometimes I have to physically stop myself from pulling them off other random people's clothing as that would probably be seen as beyond weird!!!! I hate them.I have long hair but they don't bother me while their still attached to my head! Just loose, stray ones attacking me. DH says I'm very weird. That is my only strange, compulsive thing though. What's yours?

Just thought of more
Being in the car behind one of those vehicle transporters, i can just see all those cars on there rolling off onto us
Blowing up balloons. My mum told me a story when i was little of some child inhaling when trying to blow up a balloon instead of blowing out and they choked on it, been terrified ever since

@ElsieMc me too. Going to Disneyland would give me the fear. I sincerely hope my DC don't want to at any stage!!

My daughter has a phobia of model/statue type things. For example, we went to the Disney store and there was a life size model of Sully from Monsters Inc and she freaked. Doesn’t like big model dinosaurs, animals etc. No idea why.

That weird green broccoli/cauliflower that looks like a pointy tree/mountain, terrified DH last night Grin (I didn't cook it, it was on a cookery programme) He had to close his eyes until it disappeared off the screen.

Walking around barefoot at public swimming pools, so gross. I have to wear flip flops

Wherecanwegetoff123 · 18/10/2019 09:54

We built. Was it an artichoke?

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 18/10/2019 12:38

No, I just googled (mountain broccoliBlush) it's called Romanesco. I won't put a picture up in case it's triggering Grin

Wherecanwegetoff123 · 18/10/2019 22:23

Just googled it. It looks cool!

I have a massive feat of knives/spoons being inserted into the gaps of forks. It's make me physically sick and I can't eat if I see any like it. My dh thinks it's hilarious though and purposefully sets the table like it! Don't know where it has come from and have never heard of anyone else with the same fear.
