F.B.S.

Shepherds do not suffer from acarophobia. A slug does not have Blennophobia. No one contracts a case of Cacophobia around James Purefoy and teenagers usually come down with a dose of Decidophobia after or during High School.

The list of phobias today is ever increasing. What some of us may feel is a ridiculous thing to be afraid of, immobilizes handfuls of people around the world. And while we could take our insensitivity to some of these phobias to another level and laugh at someone who's afraid of snow... they probably weren't laughing when they were caught in a blizzard and buried by drifting snow. OK so it's not so funny anymore.

Yet everyone has a fear or phobia of something. Anything. Personally I'd not like to talk about my phobia because then the mutants will hear me and want to move in... but something I will avoid at ALL accounts is having someone stick their finger in my belly button. That feeling flips me out worse than being tickled. And when I say flip I mean double-axle-back-flip-summersault. So don't even try it, my friends. I have hurt people who thought it was funny... sorry for my cat-like reflexes.

Then there are those among us who can not stand the feel of intricate metal jewellry against their skin. Not even a ring. A girl wearing elaborate dangling earings is enough to make a shiver go down his spine. And not in a good way either. Or how about our Sue's unique phobia of holding something cold in one hand and something paper in the other. She can't stand it. An iced Dunkin Donuts coffee and napkin is too much for Sue. FBS.

Therefore since this is share time- what's your problem?
