I have a real thing about runner beans. I can't bear the smell of them and the thought of eating them makes me want to heave! Not a real phobia I suppose, but I avoid them at all costs.

Anyone have a fear of centipedes or fear of rustling sounds coming from behind your tv? you will if you read suedonims link!

PeachyClair · 02/09/2005 21:57

snakes. I even nearly crashed a car because there was a twig in the road that looked like a snake. yucky things.

and - um - gold shoes.

Used to have major phobia about vomit and vomiting, got over it when I was nannying. Got off a bus once in the middle of nowhere as i thought was going to be sick.

Butterflies.

Daddy-long-legses! ds1 (9) has to get rid of them for me as I am very irrational around them!

Skribble · 02/09/2005 22:23

No I just had to deal with it, I could manage until their mum came in. Then once I was a Mum then no choice at least babies break you in gently with sour milk ones, not as bad as spaggetti hoops and fish fingers YYYUUUCCKKK!!!!!!

And it doesn't help when dh says "they're more scared of you than you arte of them"

Doesn't work for me Skribble, despite having four children to ensure I get plenty of exposure

Aimsmum, what are you doing here?

madmarchhare · 02/09/2005 22:27

Snakes, which is normal I suppose.

But I hate tomato sauce, not just the taste but looking at it makes me shudder, especially if its leftovers on someone plate .

Sorry, this is not a put down, but do any of you with phobias, read about other people's phobias and think to yourself, I wish I had that phobia instead of the one I have got? I do.

Lol yes i do lonelymum. I hate all insects, but cope best with flying ones as i know they will fly away.

so when i read that people don't like butterflies and moths i wish that were me
