my mum has a cotton wool phobia

I know what you mean about the bridges, I am the same walking across bridges, snakes don't bother me...

is it wet cotton wool...

when its wet or dry, just cotton wool.....she can't even look at it

touching it reminds me of wet woolly jumpers

eewwwwww

I watched the prog about phobias and could not believe how many strange ones are out there....

one of me friends didn't like balloons which was a challenge when we had any party

snakes and wasps freeze up and panic .. its horriable feeling..

my wife has a phobia about buttons,she never buys clothes that have buttons on and she cannot touch them

Buttons... I have heard that before, it must be hard getting clothes

My son has a phobia ....of polystyrine...........the whole lot packaging and the snowie stuff

hi Kempinaxmashat

that is a new one on me, how did his phobia start?

Mummies .......we have no idea ....but the funny thing is he works for a company who use it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has to get the staff to unpack the products for him to sort and stock take ......!

bless him... at least he has peeps to help him.... strange but true...

I'm terrified of birds, especially wild ones...so not to bad with ducks or chickens. It's the shape of the body and the thin legs, sounds silly I know and I wish I didn't have this phobia I really do. If a poor bird hits the window and is laying in the garden dead I can't move it even with a shovel! It's a fairly common phobia I think, but I have it really bad!

Anyone else suffer from the same one?

I cannot stand toes and toe nails - they seem so weird and scary and wiggly. Podiatrist does my nails for me - thanks goodness. LW

My friend has a phobia about buttons, and also chains (the necklace type). I find both of them really strange.

Can't think of any real phobias that I have myself.

I don't do spiders - I think it's because when I was a kid my two elder sisters went hysterical when there was a spider in the house and it rubbed off on me. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but once we're looking at a beastie over a certain size I can't touch them.

My daughter has a phobia of clowns. (I've always thought they were a bit sinister myself). One of her friends also has the buttons phobia.
