      I will avoid letting Jason see it! It is one of his only phobias, strangely! Posted 6 years ago

        One of my biggest phobias is of Canada geese. They are such meanies!! I also have a phobia of being pooped on by gulls ;) Posted 6 years ago

          XD Bahaha! I've never had an encounter with them, but i've heard so many stories!
          I have quite a few phobias. I'm sure the list is much larger than this...
          1) Cotton balls or cotton gauze. Just talking about them makes me gag. I will flip out if I have to touch them. Picking up icy things with wet hands has the same effect.
          2) Everything social (but you already know that :P)
          3) Yellow Jackets.           Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

            Ah, I have the cotton ball one too. That texture, ugh!! The yellow jacket phobia stems from "the incident", or was it longstanding? I no doubt have more too, but am too tired to remember, lol. Posted 6 years ago

              The incident, for sure. I used to have no problem with standing near one, but I start to twitch if I even see one now! Posted 6 years ago
