So my dirty little secret fear was let out of the bag on NYE - I can't touch mustard. I think it's so gross. We had cocktail weenies (bleh) and I was cleaning up the bowl the mustard was in, but someone had spilled some on the outside of the bowl. I ran screaming to the sink - screamed like a little girl - "ickickick I touched the mustard!!!!" And washed my hands for a while.
Everyone thought I was kidding at first. But no. I am totally irrational about mustard. Mayonnaise isn't too far behind, but I never have to touch it.
I'm special. Tell me how you are special too and make me feel better.

I am scared of people in costumes. Like I panic and want to run away scared. It's gotten slightly better as an adult because I know it is irrational but I still panic.
Yum, I love mustard! And mayo! And ketchup! And miracle whip! Sometimes I put both miracle whip AND mayo on a sandwich.
I'm ridiculously afraid of the dark. Especially when I'm washing my face. No clue why, but if D turns out the lights for bed while I'm washing my face I freak out. Before having Liam I could never walk around my house in the dark. I'm better about that now but I still don't love it.
I'm afraid of puking, so I also hate feeling nauseous in general. It gives me a lot of anxiety.
I don't like the volume to be on an odd number. So if it's on 19 I'd just prefer it at 20.. no clue why.
I also have this weird fear that is hard to describe. I don't like when things are sticking out of water. For instance, in the all Hurricane Sandy coverage, when they would show the roller coaster and the pier in the ocean...that totally gives me the willies. I think it stems from when I was growing up, we used to go ice skating at this tiny lake by our house. One year someone threw a vacuum cleaner in the lake and when it froze over, the hoses were sticking out and my brother would tell me not to go near it or it would suck me under the ice.
OOOo this is sooo scary! I once sucked my hair up in a vacuum when I was little so I was afraid of them for a while, but got over it some how. I was vacuuming under the couch and saw a penny so I reached for it and the hose sucked in my hair. I think I was 5?

My mom is this way about masks. She can't even look at a mask on a shelf without being creeped out.
- I'm very afraid of haunted houses. I think that if someone wanted to be a murderer why wouldn't they just go there where it wouldn't be as suspicious. - I'm afraid of the dark and being home alone at night. - I'm afraid of most dogs and hate when people tell me their dog is friendly or won't bite. Of course he won't bite you but you never know about me. - I have an irrational fear of knives. I use them but sometimes when I see other people cutting food it scares me that they are going to cut themselves. Then I make comments like "be careful" or "whoa that was close" It drives DH crazy.
I am afraid of walking to my car in the dark. I always think there is someone in it or under it. I am afraid to look behind the shower curtain if it is closed. I am afraid of the show Unsolved Mysteries..
I cannot watch commercials, let alone movies that involve the devil, possessions, exorcisms. Even writing this and thinking about it scares the shit out of me. I saw The exorcism of Emily Rose and ever since then I can't deal. I guess it's not that ridiculous but it is something that really affects me.
I live in FL, the lightning capital of the world and I get really scared during thunder storms. If I'm home alone I will hide my head under a pillow. I'm scared to get hit by lightning or that the house will get hit. One reason why I always have on pants and a bra, even if it's a sports bra besides lightning storms is in case the house is on fire. I feel the need to always be prepared to flee the house.
I'm afraid of bridges. Hate driving over them. Overpasses on the highway are ok but anything over water or a long drop freaks me out. I also cant stand the sound of tearing paper or cardboard or the sound of tape being torn off cardboard.

Oooohhhh, that is another fear I have but I don't think it's ridiculous. I am terrified of a house fire. I check the stove and burners a couple times before I leave the house and still, sometimes during the day I think that I left something on. I have smoke detectors and CO detectors in every room - even the bathroom - and I have two of each in the living room because the room is large. I have a 2 bedroom apartment with 6 fire extinguishers.
I think they are fairly normal fears too But just ones that really stick out as something I think about a lot. I know a lot of people sleep nude or only in a top but this fear prevents me from ever doing that.

I'm also afraid of house fires. I keep all my photos backed up in my safety deposit box because the people I know who have had fires miss them the most.
I know no one LIKES barf. But I flip out. I hyperventilate and try to flee the area. The I have to sit with my head between my knees and try not to pass out.
Do you know how many movies have barf in them?! Lots.
I am irrationally afraid of the garbage disposal. When it is running I can't be near it, and I can't fish things out of it while it is off. Once I was home by myself and my wedding ring fell down into it so I HAD to fish it out. I was seriously sobbing - I think it will turn on by itself somehow while my hand is in it.
My new fear since having kids (this is awful)...we rent houses a lot in remote places in Vermont, Maine, etc. I am completely paranoid about people sneaking into the house and murdering DH and I...but leaving the kids alive. It is the fear of them being alone in the house (and for the baby, unable to obviously get out of the crib, etc) and no one knowing they are there/able to help them. Here at our regular house we have neighbors, friends/activities that we see every day - the kids would be found quickly/easily...but in these vacation houses...... I am semi obsessed about it whenever we go. It drives DH insane.
I have a plan for taking down an armed intruder who breaks in while we're sleeping at night. I wake up because I hear a noise several times a week and go over it in my head. It involves hiding under furniture with my baby and slicing the burglar's hamstring as he walks past.
I am TERRIFIED of those Pillsbury cans that pop open when you pull the wrapper off. I have panic attacks when I pull the paper off and they still don't pop open. I hyperventilate and usually have to get somebody else to open it for me.
catepillars, furry plant stems (I fucking hate sunflowers) and my nightmare would be running through a field of sunflowers with catepillars everywhere...
Also, I hate lighting matches, opening corked wine bottles, and clowns fucking suck.
escalators. mostly just the down ones....I cry, i shake i hyperventilate.....i have to tuck my pants and shoe laces into my shoes and wrap my arms around myself and stand in the middle of the step so that nothing gets caught in the sides.
I have an abnormal fear of deadly infectious disease.
I also have pretty of fear if losing someone and it being being to say goodbye.
I'm petrified of airplanes, but I have come a long way. I used to have to be completely drugged out on Xanax to not go into panic. Now I still am a mess but only during take off and about the first 15 minutes of the flight.
I'm very afraid of bridges and think it comes from a previous life experience.
