Today is Friday the 13th, a day that some dread. Me, it's always meh. So what. If I am a person of faith, then I can't give in to superstitions. But some peoples fears aren't based on superstitions, they have real phobias. Their fears are real to them, even if it sounds silly to me. Here are some that sound just too awesome to be true:
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
Aulophobia - Fear of flutes
Botanophobia- Fear of plants (this one reminds me of a SNL episode with my fav, Christopher Walken)
Cacophobia- Fear of ugliness
Frigophobia- Fear of cold or cold things (I may have a mild case. Can't stand ice - more on this later)
Geniophobia- Fear of chins
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words (irony at its best)
Lutraphobia- Fear of otters
Optophobia- Fear of opening one's eyes
Ophthalmophobia- Fear of being stared at (wouldn't have to worry about this from the Optophobe)
Pentheraphobia- Fear of mother-in-law
Politicophobia- Fear or abnormal dislike of politicians
Proctophobia- Fear of rectums
Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat (the lesser mole rat, not so scary)
