This is a question Irrational Fears

My mate Dan is afraid of turning his back on a flushing toilet. "It'll suck me in", he says. Can you beat him with your own true story of an irrational fear?

Needles, Shelves...
A couple that I have...Firstly, not entirely irrational...Needles scare the hell out of me, even an empty syringe is enough to make me scream. I can't even look at them on TV or in pics.

An absolute fear of shelves above my bed on the wall, or any kind of picture/frame hanging above the bed, or something tall standing agaisnt my bed, I keep thinking that during the night the shelf will break and fall on me and cause serious damage, or that the frame will smash in my face.

As a child I once heard someone ask about AIDS and someone replied that it was an illness and leaflets about it were being posted through letterboxes. I misinterpreted this to mean that you could catch AIDS from the leaflets being posted thru the letterbox, naive I know, I was only 4/5. It made me think twice before touching anything posted through the door at home!
