hello boys n girls.
i was thinking to myself last night about my phobia of not being able to eat in hospitals and realised i actually have a few wierd phobias.
im also phobic of pregnancy and new born babies and also of slipping up and walking on slippery surfaces like ice and polished marble.
thats quite abit for one person really and they are all pretty strange.
has anyone else got any weird phobias or know of any odd ones?

well i guess they dont have to be strange, just ur phobias or strange ones uve heard of!
my ice/falling over one is decendent of falling down the stairs at 2 years old and ive been known to not go out of the house or to work if its icy outside.
and the hospital one isnt just hospital food. it could be a mars bar bought out if a vending machine in a hospital or sandwiches made at home but bought into a hospital.
im good tho thanks magoo. U?
come on boys...keep em coming.

A phobia is the fear of something that's irrational. So your fear of walking on ice, technically may not be a phobia. You cannot have a phobia of putting your head in a tigers moth, for example.
Mine's wasps. Bees are ok because they're slower and more predictable. Wasps are fucking mental and will go around stinging people for a laugh. They're indiscriminate and plain nasty.......bit like someone from these boards really.

I think 53 million people are afraid to eat in a British hospital.

Mine's fish bones. If I eat fish and I get the sensation of a bone in my mouth then I cannot eat anymore.
With something like trout there is barely a point of even attempting to eat it...
It's slightly odd, because I have no such problems with chicken bones.

I have this fear of getting my head stuck down the toilet bowl when visiting public conveniences.

Polystyrene has the same effect with many people. Just like scratching your finger nails down a blackboard.
