Sometimes, when I drop off to sleep on the couch, I'll wake up a few minutes later, and, for a few seconds, I'll lose track of all time, and I'll jump up in a panic, fearing something bad has happened while I've been asleep. It's a horrible feeling. I've seen my 4-year-old nephew do the same thing a couple of times.
Soggy bread. Although dipping into soup and other such stuff is fine. Just bread that has water on it somehow. The fear of ever going to jail wasn't who I'd be sharing my cell with, it was always that they'd give you bread and water in films. Scared me straight!
YES. If I've done toast and some of it hrs condensey and then soggy it is an absolute nightmare. When Hugh FW made a bread salad by assentially just wetting some stale chunks of bread I almost vomited on the TV.
I think it stems from my mum, who would, whilst in the middle of washing up, make me a sandwich. Her hands no completely dry, leaving a few suds on the plate where she held it.
She forswore the sandwich monster inside of me. But it didn't work dammit!
Amazing some of these posts very interesting.
I have to have landing light on ALWAYS since forever, I recall.
I Recovered from fear of moths.
Must shut curtains at dusk, peeping tom fear [it has happened to me]
Do find myself avoiding cracks in paving slabs.
Is there anyone else who doesn't have a fear of weird things? I'm only scared of normal stuff, like the threat of physical violence, and kittens.
Matt Stott has an unnatural fear of butter. If a tub of cow batter comes within a half mile of his toast he's been known to go catatonic.
I fear nothing.
Women.
Responsibility. It's my kryptonite.

Are you under surveillance from a 1960s security service?
Them drivable ones with council minions in them! Not dudes with sweeping brushes.

You should be more scared of the sweeping dudes, they're often crims doing community service.

There's a scene from the Monkees' film 'Head', where Davey Jones goes into a diner and asks for "A cup of cold gravy with a hair in it". I remember when I first saw it as a kid, I was almost sick, thinking about drinking it. Jack Nicholson actually wrote that film.

He might have been asking for Hair the musical.
I'm scared of:
-Labels in other peoples clothing. Eww, especially when you see them sticking out of their top or whatever.
-At seated gigs/shows I hate sitting in the middle of a row. It has to be the end or I'm outta there. I hate being trapped.
-Cooked/melted cheese (or at least the smell of it).
