Phobias

[Fan of Big Tone]

OK, who's going to own up to having a phobia.

 

I've got a phobia of needles, I was given three anti tetanus injections in my thighs after a dog bit me when I was a young lad and the nurse wasn't the least bit kind or gentle hence ever since I have had a phobia of needles. I can't even watch someone else having an injection. I hadn't had to have an injection since then until about 8 years ago when I needed blood tests and I was absolutely petrified, I told the nurse and she opened all the windows in case I fainted and laid me on a couch before taking the blood, all the time she was talking to me to keep my mind occupied. She was lovely, unlike the one in 1959.

 

My other phobia is heights, I can't stand being high up especially if there is nothing to stop me falling. I hate ladders, cliff tops etc., I'm not sure where that came from.

 

So what phobia can you own up to?

[Canadian]

Spiders . It's just their 8 Legs and when you wet them, they curl up,,,,,yuk.

 

Other Creepy Crawleys, (Cockroaches, Ear Worms, Crickets)

I'm not fond of heights or spiders, but I can overcome them if needed, but I wouldn't say they're a phobia.

Definitely got a phobia of those lot in red over the river though - can't stand the things.

Mrs. H. is absolutely petrified of spiders, I mean a real phobia, she won't go in a room if she knows there is a spider in there. I haven't got a problem with spiders at all I could pick them up let them run up my arm, no problem. It's really strange how these phobias can affect some people but not others.

[Northants Pie]

No real phobias tbh, don't mind needles, spiders, blood, any animal, I watched a surgeon take a cyst out of my arm, really interesting that was, so was being down the business end at both births of my children.

 

There are a few things I don't like and lots more I don't understand (supporting forest for one) but no phobias

[Chris]

I don't like heights, genuinely I really don't like them.

Apart from that I have no others.

[jsrjay]

Cant say I particularly have any phobias well nothing that springs to mind. 

 

 

@Super_Danny_Allsopp this is just for you

[Super_Danny_Allsopp]

@jsrjay  I'll have nightmares for weeks with that picture. 

[PTID1862]

@jsrjay can I borrow the contents of that picture, need to spread some muck on me veggie patch

[GrannyPie]

Spiders and mice,can't stand them

[jsrjay]

@PTID1862 Yeah sure im sure it will help your veggies grow nice & big where as if you use a dirtby picture it will probably just kill off all your veg.

 

@Super_Danny_Allsopp sleep well.

[PTID1862]

@jsrjay thank you, they do need a lot of muck, so I think that lot should suffice, I will keep the Derby picture for when I need to exterminate pests or kill some tree stumps

[Super_Danny_Allsopp]

@notts-joe I thought this was a family forum, and you allow explicit pictures such as that? Should be ashamed.

[Cobby]

Spiders, needles and to a lesser extent the sea.  I just don't like not knowing what's under the water! I could stand on some broken glass/needle/sharp rock, or something could brush against my leg and that just freaks me out

[Chris]

@notts-joe I thought this was a family forum, and you allow explicit pictures such as that? Should be ashamed.

Be careful what you wish for!

[PTID1862]

@Cobby not a big fan of jaws films then

[Fan of Big Tone]

Strangely @GrannyPie although Mrs H is petrified of spiders she would happily pick up a mouse or anything furry.

[super_ram]

Not exactly a phobia but I can't stand slugs.Horrible slimy things,a bit like the fans you find over the river.

[Chris]

If only I had knew about the slugs sooner!

[PTID1862]

That's it... all we need to do is fly a drone over the temple of doom, and drop lots of salt!!! Genius

[liampie]

small places, snakes, heights, deep water.

[Captain Sticky]

Heights, bridges over water and Scousers! Sorry, not scared of Scousers, just dislike them [emoji12]

Oh and Tigers, they're scary!

Regards Allen. You Pies!

I also hate walking under scaffolding, I think it's going to collapse or a workman is going to drop a hammer on my head or something, I normally cross the road.

[super_ram]

Oh,I forgot (PTID1862 insists on mentioning them)Dentists.

[PTID1862]

@super_ram from now on I will refer to the dentist as the gobdoc...nods
