hello, i too have a balloon phobia and i have been chased before and
people who do that are twats (sorry for language). if some one starts
blowing one up, i panic badly and continously in my mind think its
going to burst. i dont mind ballons wen there out of reach of people
as its unlikly they will pop but if kids have them, then im out. i
just hate the pop so badly that when i see or hear one pop i feel
sick, panic and just want to run and get away.
from Terry.
