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?

i'm afraid of everything.
There are the usual ones, like clowns, downs syndrome people (I know that's totally wrong but I have a completely irrational fear of them and don't know why), being in confined spaces without being able to get out.

But also:

i can't stand baked beans - especially cold ones - like when one gets left on the surface because someone has eaten them, it's so horrific... i can't touch it. They also smell like BO. My housemate can't stand them either, which is weird.

i hate driving/being driven through tunnels, i always feel like the car is going to career off the road into the side of the tunnel, or a lorry is going to hit us. especially bad is the blackwall tunnel where the lanes are really close together.

the sound of nails being drawn down a chalkboard makes me want to cry.

and yesterday i screamed because we opened the knife drawer in the kitchen and someone had put my cheese in there. for the second time!
