I don't think I have any weird phobias, though I do get dizzy when I look up towards the top on a really long up-escalator. I had a roommate in college though who was deathly afraid of elevators, vomit, and polka dots.

polka dots? Interesting. There are some extremely weird phobias out there, like fear of the color purple, but I've never heard of polka dots. There's an interesting phobia list somewhere, I'll try to find it...

Here's the website:

Phobia list

I did a 'find on this page' search and there wasn't a fear of polka dots, but my fear of ants was on there (myremecophobia)

My phobia is BEES. *shudder* i can't stand them. I either freeze up or completely freak out everytime they get near me.

So, in other words, I'm great at picnics!!

We'd make a good pair at a picnic; I'm afraid of ants and you're afraid of bees. We could just sit there freaking out together
