Do you have any odd fears or know of strange ones that afflict others?

    I have two. And I'm not going to say what they are. They aren't fears, really...but there are two things that make me throw up, that most people aren't bothered by at all. I won't say what they are, because pictures of them will start popping up on this thread.

    Also, there is a very specific shade of yellow that I can't look at. It makes me dizzy and nauseous. No idea why.

    I was giving a sales presentation once to a lady that had a blouse on, that was the exact shade of yellow that affects me. Every time I looked her way, I felt like throwing up.

    No idea why it affects me, but it's been like that my whole life.

    What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

      Lady in yellow blouse: "So what do you call your local marketing system?"

      Claude: "Barrff, Wreetchh"

      Lady in Yellow Blouse: "Hmm, Barrff, Wreetchh, interesting name, is their a website?"

      Claude: Roolff

      Lady in yellow blouse: Actually the names Debbie, but you can call me Debs, all my friends do!

    Dolls. I hate those things.

    A lot of people have phobias toward clowns.

      Yeah, I get that too. They are used a lot in horror movies. Ventriloquist dummies are like that.

      When I was a kid, I remember an episode of The Twilight Zone, that had a ventriloquist's dummy come to life. It really frightened me.

      I never thought clowns were funny. I always thought they were demonic looking.

        When I was a little kid I wolfed down a whole watermelon and then proceeded to project it all over the place.
        It came out pink and for years the color would make me nauseous.
        Now a days I think owning a pink Cadillac and riding around blasting The Boss's song Pink Cadillac would be a hoot.

        About the only thing I have a fear of is heights and even that depends on the circumstance.
