Weird fears:
We talked on the air this morning (6/18/08) about weird Phobias you may have, or have had in the past, sparked by this list of the Top 10 Most Common Phobias in the world.
Listeners admitted to random phobias such as Fear of Crumbs, Fear of being Coughed On. Another anonymous listener sent this e-mail:
When I was little I was scared of dentures. My uncle used to take his out and clack them at us. I would hide from anyone that I thought had dentures and I wouldn’t get close to my uncle unless I was sure that his were safely in his mouth.
Traumatizing for any youth. I admitted on the air that when I was younger... I think I heard on the news a story of a house fire, in which the fire started in the walls of the house. I couldn't sleep facing the wall for a few weeks, scared that a fire was going to break out. (Of course, I didn't think that if a fire broke out, I'd be screwed anyway).

After seeing Tremors on TV when I was like 8 (15 yrs ago!) I was scared to death of the giant worms in the ground, mostly only at night. I would sit on my bed and be quiet. My brother and sister would be playing or being loud and I was terrified the "tremors" would hear them and my family would get eaten. I also had to jump from the sidewalk into the car at night.

lawn mowers. When I was a kid my mom would wake me up early on Saturday mornings to come hold the safety bar down on the ancient push mower so she could start it. I was always barefoot and on a down hill slope and the mower would jerk back at me with every pull of the cord. I was terrified it was going to cut my toes off. To this day I still have never mowed a lawn.
