Irrational fear?

Do you have an irrational fear (not baby related)??
mine is the garbage disposal. I dropped an avocado seed down the disposal last night on accident and I'm totally freaked about getting it out... It's still down there!

Re: Irrational fear?
My DH thinks everything has salmonella. But to give him credit, he did have it and was in the hospital.
I have a fear someone is in my house a lot.
did you see the garbage disposal episode on Modern Family?
I'm afraid of squirrels, they totally freak me out.
Rationally I know they won't...but those beady eyes just look like they are out to get you!
Me too. And my phobia of snakes is pretty darn irrational (thus, me calling it a phobia). I can't see them on tv or in print, and I will hysterically break down if I see a real one (especially if I'm caught off-guard).
I get irrationally nervous popping a can of refrigerated dough, like pillsbury biscuits. I stand with my head turned almost around, but still watching it, blinking too much and waiting for it to pop while I'm pushing on the arrow.
ME TOO! It scares the poo out of me. Luckily I have a killer dog and cat to protect me :-P
I have know idea why
hahaha I do that, too! I hate popping those darn things open.
My H thinks everything has salmonella, etc. too! I don't allow him to cook chicken anymore because he cooks it waaaay too long since he got food poisoning one time before we met.
I have an irrational fear of escalators. I will go on them, but I'm scared the entire time, especially getting on and off. H made me take the stroller on it once and I almost freaked! I've been scared of them since I was a kid... No idea why. My mom used to have to hold me the whole way.

Wow. Never thought about this...but will now never forget it! lol
You guys have some pretty good fears!
I don't know if mine are fears, but I think about them a lot, and picture bad things happening, and sometimes have anxiety over it...okay, yeah they are fears.
I freak when I'm driving at night and someone is standing on the side of the road. I'm afraid they will like throw something at my window or shoot my window in order to get me to stop. Much like, afraid someone will open my car door when I'm stopped somewhere at night.
I also have to have all the curtains closed at night. NO freaks are looking in at me and my family at night!
I also hate popping open the dough things.
Guns, I am so uncomfortable around them. I cannot shoot one and it makes me nervous being around people who are handling them.
Also, my mom used to travel a lot when I was in high school and I was convinced every time she went away that her plane would crash. I'm not afraid of flying myself, but I'm afraid of other people travelling. If DH goes away for a weekend, I make him call or text me twice a day just to know he's ok.
Every time I look out onto my back porch at night, the Scream scenario plays out in my head.... ::shiver::
"What did my fingers do before they held you? What did my heart do with it's love?"

Also have the fear that someone will break into my house to hurt me, DH or DD. Or all of us. I would be freaked out if someone broke it to steal something, but I'm afraid that someone wants to get in to hurt/kill us.
Any bug with pinchers--scorpions especially but we don't have them here so more pincher bugs! Ew, I hate those things!
