I hate it if some one finds out about my phobias and then says- Well it won't hurt you. Yes, I know it won't hurt me but that's the thing about phobias- they are irrational. I also can't stand the people who taunt you with the very object that you have a phobia to. I remember watching the Maury show once about unusual phobias and people including Maury were laughing at these people!
