Styrophobia. I'll be damned, it really does exist.

Doesn't fit in the other categories? Maybe just want to post up some humor or random happening? This is the place for it.

I can't handle the biscuits in a tube either. Terrifies me. I make Joe open biscuit tubes.

Old dirty dishwater that you can't see through is probably the one thing that freaks me out more than anything. I would rather reach into a port-a-can than dirty dishwater, but I've done it more than once. And I didn't act like a 9 year old girl doing it. I guess the point of my story is , don't be a pussy. There are LOTS!!!!! of shit in life that sucks, but most you still have to do...
......Its called "being a little bitch" the cure used to be someone kicking your ass and telling you to man the fuck up......now they have Dr's who want to talk to you about your feelings and why blah blah blah.......pussification of society in full swing.
That person was my 6'6" 280 Marine dad back handing me in the gut telling me to quit acting like a split tail....haha

I have a phobia of people with phobias.

I once had to get a 350 pound kid off the top of a "confidence climb" obstacle on an obstacle course. I guess the kid waited until he got to the top to figure out he was terrified of heights--then he froze. I had to grab his hands and feet one and a time and guide them to where they need to be. The worst part was when he decided that his best course of action was to lean on me. I kept picturing myself falling 25 feet and breaking both legs, only to be fatally squashed by Baby Huey's fat ass a half-second later.

The times when I had guys trying to kill me I felt more angry than scared. But *this* scared me.

That was my initial thought too. I've heard of some strange phobias but this one is pretty bizarre.

I work at UPS, SOL.
What area?
9/11 Ramp.
I was h wing ramp from 08-10 or so. At wing e shift now on military leave.
Wing H ramp got assimilated into 9/11. A couple of my employees came over from Wing E last summer.
Ive been gone since 2011, I will be back toward the end of 2015 but stuck in E until March when I quit. I was never technically ramp I guess but I was outbound loading for H wing and loaded all the bellies of the wing planes.

haha Definitely not saying you should never fear anything, especially than can get you killed. More saying people that stay home and get a gubment disability check and shit like that for being terrified that a leprechaun is going to steal their lucky charms need to be throat punched and told to quit being a pussy...

That happened to me too many times over at the confidence course at Crooked Creek during summer camp. Luckily I was able to get them all down without incident. Fear can stop the bravest, and strongest of people.

Are you able to operate a jack in the box, or how about the bottle poppers for celebrations?

I have a fear of heights but have overcome it multiple times (in the army--planes, helicopters, rappelling, obstacle courses) and in regular job (bridge towers and more bridges). Also afraid of dumbass drivers in traffic...scratch that, they just piss me off.

CL has Nettophobia
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Jack in the box hell no. Bottle poppers yes.

Balloons no. Those fuckers can pop at any time.

Like I can hold a balloon and deal with a balloon. But let it have the option of popping. I'm out.

I'm also afraid of rabbits. Don't trust them.

This can be a great case study for a masters thesis and an even better doctoral dissertation.
