Fear of ...?

(thanks to [livejournal.com profile] wolvy for this idea)

I have a theory that we're all allowed one totally irrational fear, and mine is snakes.
Damn I hate me some snakes. I'm so phobic I can't even look at photos of them. That's what took me so long to start watching Survivor. Rick can tell you how hysterical I got while he was removing an eight-inch baby snake from my porch.

So, what's your irrational fear?

People in costumes. Like, you know, not just your random guy in a pirate costume, but those people in character costumes with the weird shaped bodies and heads. I will walk around an entire area to avoid having to pass close to one of those. Of course, clowns also.

Now mind you, bugs bunny stepped on my foot when I was very little and broke my toes, but still, they bothered me before that, and it's not just a pain fear thing. It feels all biological, like they're predators I'm prey, or like they're just completely outside of nature and my brain fires it funny and doesn't come up with "that's just a guy in a stupid costume" before it comes up with "holy shit run."

I have other ones, but that is sorta the most bizarre one.
