The last Irrational Fears thread got a bit hijacked by persons who will not be named but may well have included yours truly. So for ease of whatever, I've started a new one for people who do not wish to wade through piles of neo-theological philosophy. [I just made that phrase up - does it sound like I know what I'm talking about?]
In any case here is a link to the original thread

and here is my original introduction:

Everyone has one irrational fear. It could even be a phobia. I'm not talking about well known ones like claustraphobia or agoraphobia. Also not rational fears like snakes or spiders. Just weird things to be afraid of.
My theory is that most are hang-overs from childhood, like I hate having the curtains in my bedroom fully closed because I like some light to see that there are no axe-murderers sneaking up on me in bed.
My other one is that sometimes when I sit on the toilet, I get paranoid that there is something in the bowl that is going to attack me, like a snake or something. This could come from either the outback legend of redbacks under the toilet seat or that episode of the X-Files with the stretchy, liver-eating bloke.
So come one everyone: share and gain some catharsis
