When I was really little, I got pecked on the foot by a seagull. Not kidding. I think it scarred me for life. My 5 year old self just stood there in shock until it hit me that I should be crying. So cry I did. A new fear was born.
The Marine and I spent the night with a family friend when were in middle school. She let us "camp out" in the living room in front of the tv. We also got to pick a movie to watch. The Marine and the lady picked "The Birds". Horrified. I dreamed that night that I was being attacked and they ate my eyes out. You know, that could totally happen.
When I was 20, I wrecked my car and had to walk to work. No big deal since I lived across from the store I worked in. One day I was walking to work and it happened. A bird swooped down and almost pecked me in the head. I took off running. I was literally shaking with fright by the time I got work. The next morning, same thing. Only I had wet hair. You see where this is going? The freaking bird almost got caught in my hair. I have never been so scared in my life. Bring on a mugger, but a bird?! Oh uh uh. I started walking a different (much longer) way to work. Stupid freakin' bird.
People always find birds that have been hurt and bring them in the clinic. I hide in the back. One time someone brought their pet bird in to get his wings clipped. It got away. Guess who it flew toward? It's like they know. I just got off the phone with another lady who wanted to bring a bird in on Monday. I think I'm calling in sick. Those little suckers are a hazard. They will eat your eyes out or peck you to death. I don't care if it's a hummingbird. Have you seen how quick those are? People don't stand a chance.
Maybe I'm irrational. And? I hate them. What are some of your "irrational" fears?

I am terrified of the oven door snapping shut while my arm is inside. I have NO idea why!!!
My irrational fear is choking. Granted it is a serious problem if it happens, but I have huge fear of it. When I was 3 I choked on a lifesaver and it scarred me for life, then I choked a few other times in my life that weren't as bad as the lifesaver incident. Not to mention, my mother always told me to chew my food good or I would choke when I was a kid. Now I am positively terrified of choking. Don't cough when your eating with me or I will jump across the table and give you the Hiemlick. I take so much longer than everyone else to eat because it is in my blood to chew my food forever! It's a little obsessive. ha!

i have fobias of different animals and I'm a vet technician.
I had to friggin' HOLD a snake as big as my friggin arm (the tickness of it) while the Dr. was force feeding it, a mouse that he just killed. Yip. Took everything I Possibly had to not pass out or crap myself.
Birds. yip. We did exotics and I had to transfer a sick, HUGE-A** , barn owl to another facility.in.the.backseat.of.my.car.
I had my eyeS on that rearview mirror the whole time..yip.you guessed it.
That flippin' Owl poked it head out! and it took up the whole mirror !and like in a horror film when the mean man presents his face in the mirror, the woman lets out a blood curdling scream.Yip.
me.
I should write a book...titled.
"Yip. It happened to me..."
LOL, when I was little I went to Gatwick zoo, and I stuck my face right up to the edge of the caging, and a bird pecked my nose.
When I was growing up I would refuse to even go to the same TOWN of the zoo, because I was scared of it happening again!
Unfortunately, Gatwick is also a major airport in the UK, so I had to lump it and go eventually...
Oh my word, birds scare the poop out of me too! When we went to Chicago this damn pigeon kept following me, I swear it wanted to attack me but M kept telling me I was crazy!
