Despite driving for over 20 years I still have a blind panic and forget which pedal is which if my mechanic gets in the car with me and tells me to drive my car round the block
I’m the same! If anyone gets in the car with me other than family I absolutely go to pieces

I'm the number one buyer of oranges in our local Sainsbury's but only my partner eats them and we don't only buy oranges from Sainsbury's we get them from M&S too

I had a brain Tumour when i was 11 and it left me blind in my right eye and i ended up getting my right eye removed and i have a prosthetic eye.

*edit to add*

It has never stopped me achieving things in life though! I still did well at school, went to uni, studied abroad in America for the year, did my MA degree, got a professional career (Social Worker), had kids etc.

I grew an extra wisdom tooth in my fifties. My dentist said I was his only patient who had nine teeth in the upper right quarter.
I only ever got three. The upper right one never appeared. I'm 41 so maybe it'll turn up in about 10 years time

I’m like that about baked beans! Have to be in a separate room, can’t touch the plate they’ve been on, I try to avoid them in the supermarket too
Omg, I have this same phobia about beans. People laugh about it, but to me it's not funny. Also have it about mayonnaise. Absolutely cannot watch either of these foods be eaten, can't even be near them. I have quite a few phobias, and get laughed at or made fun of over them so usually don't tell people about them.

I have a phobia of butter in a way. I can eat it but can’t touch it. If it gets on my hands I freak

Can totally understand freaking out. I once got a tiny dot of sauce from a tin of beans on my hand after walking into the kitchen when my daughter was opening a tin. I absolutely freaked out, was sweating profusely and honestly thought I was going to pass out.

Bless you. I wonder where these phobias stem from?

Mine stems from being told to eat all mine up by a dinner lady at primary school, literally forcing them in my mouth. I lasted on school dinners 2 days and my phobia of beans was born then

This is why I can’t eat fish!

Aw I truly love this. It’s exactly what I want. Just no hassle, simple and no fuss.

Hmm. Fact about me? I went to Vegas all “hmm, it’s really not my thing and I doubt I’ll enjoy it. Soo tacky.” ... and ended up being banned from Binions, had their bathrooms closed for a deep clean due to the devil projectile vomit and was escorted out the casino in a wheelchair through Fremont Street.

What can I say? Vegas was a hell of a place. Clearly my place

I survived a massive stroke at the age of 26.
I fell down a manhole when I was 11 & got stuck down there for 4 hours.

I hate yoghurt, everything about it! Creme fraiche, sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese all that stuff. It actually pains me to right these, the thought of them makes me everyone who knows me knows to keep them well away.

I think it came from walking into classrooms at school and the bin was just covered in it I'm actually gagging now
