I’m convinced the moon is trying to kill us.

It’s not because of their medulla oblongata?

Drains in parking lots. I’m always scared of dropping my keys in them

Not sure it's entirely irrational, but I'm not at all comfortable on high ledges like cliffs or hiking trails that hug a mountinside. My fear isn't the height, but rather of slipping and falling off the side. I was a nervous wreck watching my kids run around at the Grand Canyon.


Same here. I don’t mind heights too much if I am by myself; however, get my wife or kids near a cliff, balcony, or bridge and I am damn near paralyzed with fear of them falling.

I will wake up in the middle of the night worrying about money.

High bridges, tall buildings, flying. We did the Empire State Building on a windy day and you could feel the building swaying- never have I ever wanted to be on the ground more than that.

Flying sucks- every bit of turbulence makes me uneasy. Read a book, play on your phone...slightest shake of the plane- Hail Mary’s and Our Fathers. I told my wife it’s because we don’t travel enough, but we don’t travel enough because I hate flying

I used to have an irrational fear of a snake biting my junk while on the toilet. Turns out it was rational.

I check the kitchen to make sure the gas on the stove is turned off like 5 times before I go to bed.

Holding babies. I refuse to hold them because I have some irrational fear that they swing their hand around and smack my nose in some weird nerve and my hands will turn to jelly and I’ll drop them.

Walking by chain link fences where the spikes are exposed or barbed wire fences at eye level like somehow they can jump out and catch an eye if you're not paying attention.

It isn't a fear but a source of anxiety:

The sound that onion makes when I chew.

I have nightmares about getting on I-10 and being stuck in a traffic jamb for weeks.

I think that might be what purgatory is.

Well Dale Murphy, it wasn't in any way irrational for me to fear that you were going to strike out with the bases loaded and the Bravos behind by a couple in the ninth with 2 outs. It was very predictable. What was also predictable was that every little ole church lady would take up for you no matter what, no matter if you were a Morman or not..........just messin' wid'ja.

Two that pop up sometimes:

1. I wake up groggy eyed and go to brush my teeth. Instead of grabbing my toothbrush I grab my razor

2. Wake up groggy eyed, go to get some visine, grab superglue instead
