A bloke I worked with must have had one or the other.
He used to arrange every thing on his desk in a certain way, we would come in early and move it all around.
He would come in and go absolutely mental....
Have you got a phobia

Yes of course but when I had control of the door and could get out whenever I wanted it wasn't an issue. It's all about being in control. I can't get in the back of a 3 door car or a minibus. I just manage on a coach but really struggle wth it but i force myself otherwise the plane type holidays would be out. I do however manage fine on the plane but that took a few flights to really come to terms with.
We may have had a problem Lol!You would have loved to have worked with me then.....
Back in 80, 81 I worked in the scaffolding biz.
We were on a big job building hanging scaffold up at 104 meters and had to take a small lift up to the top.
We found out that if we stuck a welding rod in a hole next to the button panel on the ground floor, we could stop the lift.
Should have heard the noise made by the lads in the lift....(there was only room for five people at a time)
I was 18 at the time I was doing this work and thought I was indestructible, as you do at that age.
Thinking back about it now, I get sweaty palms......
No phobias as such. Don't mind heights but not impressed with deep holes in the ground. Lifts don't bother me but they petrify my dad, but with good reason. He was I believe involved in a pit cage accident but won't talk about it. Only ever worked drift mining after that.
Never used to be bothered about spiders but, after one chased Gail many years ago, I have to say I'm wary.
I do have a phobia - work. I think that's reasonable.

Bang on Tony. It is a real issue and I'm very careful what situations I get myself into. Don't even like being behind a locked door that i don't know well, like a public toilet. On the odd occasion I have got my self locked in its terrifying for me
Well, thanks for that.....
Was going to get a minibus to pick you up at the airport when you come over and a three door car as a runaround....
You will have to get a pushbike at the airport now, not a problem over here, there's millions of them.
Minibus is fine mate as long as I'm up front, same with a 3 door car, just don't put me in the back!! I may use the tunnel and bring the zed, still undecided mate.Well, thanks for that.....

When I was a young man I always seemed to be targeted by the fat birds on a night out. It damn near traumatised me, took me ages before I learned how to pull one under 10 stone
Thought you would be traumatised by the fact that I wore your hat...
By the way, we have American spell check on here it seems, it wants you to write 'traumatized'....

No mate, that don't bother me, you're welcome to wear it again if I remember to bring it to the next bash

I get claustrophobia if I am in a crowded place and can't see an exit. I suffered with panic attacks if I had to wait a long time in a queue to pay. When I went on training courses for work, I always had to sit at the end of a row so that I could get out quickly. I am not so bad now but occasionally it hits me and I have to get out of wherever I am.
I'm not going to look - I might find some that I have

So, it exists. Phobophobia. I'll settle for that, then.

That's OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Repetitive and ritualistic thoughts and behaviours. It can be a very nasty and controlling thing.A bloke I worked with must have had one or the other.

You are a very lucky man if you don't know what any of these conditions are. It must mean you've never had them yourself or anyone close to you!
I'm afraid I'm all too familiar with some of the things you mention, plus bi-polar, depression, anxiety and alcoholism. Thankfully only depression personally.
Anyway. This is a thread about phobias. I think someone people are getting confused with pet hates
And time to stop being too serious.
