Afternoon/evening you miserable lot
While I was busy at work today I was browsing the interwebs and came across a list of real phobias that people have, now I know everyone is scared of something, for me it's spiders and it is something that has got worse as I have got older. But some of these are just too funny...
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words
Nomatophobia- Fear of names.
Pluviophobia- Fear of rain or of being rained on.
Phronemophobia- Fear of thinking
Prosophobia- Fear of progress.
Funny fears and Phobias

I had a cool moment with two wasps over the summer.
When drying the dishes I spotted a wasp on the window, towel-flicked it, one hit, dead.
The missus said there was another one round the fridge behind me, turned, towel-flicked out of the air, one hit, dead.
One of those moments where you just think, " aww yeah".

I have a fear of cranes. When I was a kid I was on a bus and looking out of the window and we passed a house whose side was being demolished by a large crane. It really startled me at the time and has carried on into adulthood. If there is a program on TV about the docks or a construction site I tend to look away or turn the channel over. A few years ago I was on a train going past an industrial estate and there were about 4 cranes. I shouted out loud and stood up. Everyone was looking at me. Really embarrassing, I was 22 at the time...

I knew someone would make a joke about it being a bird crane! But seriously, it is a bit of an odd phobia. I don't have a problem with the really large 'T' shaped cranes, just the normal upright ones.
A friend of mine has the weirdest phobia - Bergerac, the 80's TV detective program.

Ha Ha!
Yes. When he was about 8 or 9 he was watching bergerac and a dead body appeared which had been burnt to a crisp and it made him run out of the room.
He got married recently and received a bergerac DVD as a present off someone.
