I was more scared of triffids.

I'm sure we had this thread before, I'll try and dig it up. I was scared of walking on blue carpets/flooring after watching jaws.

 

I currently can't stand those horrible socks that are like gloves with individual toe compartments.

Not many of these fears are irrational; triffids were fucking scary and Jaws speaks for itself (ba-dum).

 

I'm scared of biting wool because of the sound it makes but I'm not sure that counts. When the BFG talks about giants eating the guards at Buckingham Palace all I could think of was those big crunching teeth chewing the woolly hats and the awful friction it would create. I hope they took the hats off first, even then the uniforms look like they're made of wool too.

The trumpet sound at the start of Open University programs. Our kid used to turn the volume up as it got to the loud "parrrrp" bit and freak me out big time.

 

Doors with vertically orientated oval windows in them.

 

High places. It's not the thought of falling off, it's the almost irresistable urge to jump off to "see what happens.." Go splat, probably..

From when I was about 5 or 6...

 

I used to be scared of the St Bruno's advertising hoarding outside Ogdens on West Derby Road. When I was a kid, the pipe lit up in the dark.

 

Also, at the Pier Head, looking up at the clouds as they passed the Liver Buildings and thinking that it was the building moving and not the clouds.

I was terrified of road sweepers / drain clearing lorries or whatever they're called. It was the combination of the almighty racket and the vague fear that it might suck me up inside it by accident, a fear possibly planted in my head by mischievous kids at playgroup / school.

 

Whenever I was out with my mum she'd make a diversion so we didn't have to walk past one, but one day when I was four or five she got fed up messing around and took me past one. Fucking hell, the noise, it felt like the sky was falling in. I screamed my head off and cried all the way home.

 

Still get an uncomfortable feeling when one goes past nowadays.
