weird phobias

[pectacon]

Does anyone have any phobias that are out of the ordinary?

I have a friend who's scared of butterflies. But I think the weirdest one I ever personally met someone with was a girl who was terrified of balloons.

It's not really a phobia, but I'm guessing it's pretty weird. I don't like the feeling of my skin against my own skin. I have trouble wearing short sleeves, shorts and skirts. Even the spaces between my fingers and toes. EEEwwww.

I have plenty of Phobias. I hate eating in restaurant booths because the last time I went, it was very dirty with crumbs in the seat and worn.  When there is a rip or tear in restaurant chairs or furniture, I will not sit down.
A roach infested home. I know some ppl can't help it due to the age of a home but if I visit, I will not lay anything down. Another thing is a lot of people breeds germs in a infested home in the winter meaning the heat is blasting and roaches are running. Just recently someone I know have caught a stomach bug due to the environment. Heat,  ppl, and roaches aren't a good combination.
There something about public toilets that flush once the sensor senses your finished. Once it flushes and you're near, all kinds of bacteria etc splashes right on your clothing. Putting the top down at home is best but I wouldn't touch a public toilet cover. Another one is pharmacy drive thru phones. I always go in to pick up meds because when there is a phone just sitting outside with numerous people using it, it's germ territory. Some pharmacys have antibacterial right beside the phone but just the thought of picking it up and placing it to my ear..I go inside instead. Don't care for bandaids, I know that seems off but i guess it's the way it looks after awhile when you don't remove them off the cuts. I can deal with one after getting blood drawn, but several..no. The air normally heals my cuts or I will use a wrap around cloth. Leaving my toothbrush out in the bathroom is another one because if the toilet is flushed, it (germs)could possibly get on your toothbrush and your toothbrush goes into your mouth. Another is cleaning AROUND my toilet. I will sweep t, and  I will clean the inside but cleaning around grosses me out. My boyfriend takes care of that. Hospitals too..but if I have to go I will, especially for my loved ones.

Its not weird, but I'm afraid of germs in restaurants, especially other people's germs.  Mine are okay. I don't allow my silverware to rest on the table. Even though the table top has been wiped down, who knows what is on the cloth used to wipe the table.

I hate using public restrooms. I only go if extremely necessary. I feel that even after washing my hands that my hands get germs by opening the door to get out of the restroom.

I saw an episode of the game show Catch 21 where the competitor was terrified of uncovered feet (even socks weren't enough coverage). She said it came from childhood trauma inflicted by her older brother. That's all I can think of offhand.

Yeah I'm the same way. After washing I get tissue or paper towel and open the bathroom door with it and hopefully a trash can is near so I can drop it in.

I do not care for clowns and I really dislike public bathrooms.

I do that with the paper towels too. It's the worst when all there is is an air hand dryer and no papers.
What I want to know is why are 90% of public bathrooms designed so that you have to pull the door open rather than push?

I have Trypophobia .... it's not really a fear, but I get nauseated when I look at a bunch of holes.   
Even thinking about it right now, I feel suddenly sick.   It's actually a really common "phobia".

I'm afraid of butterflies too.  It's from when I was a kid my older brother would catch a butterfly and held it to my face.  When I would leave the house during the summer a butterfly would flutter by my face.  I'm afraid of bees too.  I've never been stung and I don't know if I'm allergic plus I don't like pain.  A few years ago my cousin died from a bee sting.
