This is an odd one but it freaks me out..
Those big road sweeper machines with the brushes! The brushes creep me out so much, it started at 15 ( I'm now 46 ) on the way to school and one came towards me where it was just going over the road, but it just made me feel sweaty and panicky inside.
I can't pass them nowadays, and I can recognise one just by hearing it and before seeing it start to go panicky inside.
One time I saw three doing a clean in a shopping area at a less busy time, I didn't realise I could run so fast.
I always have to run or think of a place I can get to so it don't catch up with me
Other phobias I have that isn't common.
The green tops on tomatoes..it's so bad I can't touch them or pick up them with a spoon..I have to get tongs to get them at arms length.
A fork with a knife in its prongs, makes me shiver.
Cotton wool balls..not a phobia but hate the texture.
I'm claustrophobic so hate lifts for instance, not an uncommon phobia but even looking at a lift from outside where I'm ok ie say a hotel corridor, I still feel abit off just looking at the doors.
Ps..Great thread topic!
