Phobias

[Tramps_mate]

Not really got a phobia of anything. Nothing irrational!!

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

People. Maybe not a fear, more a general hatred.

If I smell sour milk - I vomit...

Can't eat off a chipped plate me or use a fork with a bent prong.

Any heights with a precipice. And it's getting worse. Definitely could not sit in the balcony at Goodison. The Mrs has to go in the loft to get the Christmas decorations down FFS.

Fine if it's enclosed (top of the Empire State building for e.g.)

 

[Benicetoourboys]

Worms, snakes, mice & rats. I can't do the garden or drop crumbs.

Heights for me. Had to learn to get used to them as part of my apprenticeship back in the day.

Summer transfer windows

Just when you think they're not that scary Everton go and sign an over priced, injury prone striker that wouldn't know how to score if you locked him in a brothel with a bowl of viagra.

Waiting on the obligation for Marseille to buy Maupay to kick in, only for us to be beating down the door to re-sign him for double the price.

We're not all Rob Roy's......

Anything with more than four legs. Used to be terrified of spiders but after 20 odd years living in Australia, it’s only the Huntsmen that bother me now. We have four cats so normally only get to see the twitching remains of them thankfully.

Don’t like confined spaces. Hate flying just because of this. On the few occasions I’ve been able to fly Business Class I’ve been fine, but put me in the middle seat in a row of three in Economy and I need Valium and vodka.

Spiders (properly irrational) and the bottoms of boats

Spiders, though I've had to man up since I met the wife whose phobia of them is ten times mine.
Cockchafers (look them up). They fly at you, and are hideous.
And, weirdly, large buttons, old military ones especially. Believe it goes back to a display at Liverpool museum showing a WW1 trench scene with soundtrack. Seeing that as a child was not pleasant.
Which leads me to my last one, nursery rhymes, again a museum display, a cobbled path with scenes depicting urchins in filth, poverty and misery, with a nursery rhyme soundtrack.
The background to most nursery rhymes is usually a pox, virus, disease or fear based storyline.
And how we skipped as children...
