Bizarre childhood phobias?!
Question: Bizarre childhood phobias!?
Here's some of mine:
- I used to think that a car would blow up if it was left running, but not moving!. One time my mom left me in the car when I was about 9 for ten minutes or so to pick up my brother from daycare, and when she came back I was in tears!. Hahaha I don't know what she must've thought!.
- At about 7yrs old, I used to be afraid of talking on the telephone!. One time my mom got tired of it, so she made me call everyone in my class to invite them to my birthday party - I still remember crying in between calls and having to summon the courage to type in the numbers!
- I used to be afraid to use the oven up until the age of 14!. In my mind I kept seeing myself trip or something and getting 3rd degree burns all over myself!. To this day I'm afraid of going near the grill when it's on!.
So what about you!? I'm not talking about normal fears, like being scared of the dark or anything!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well it's common!.!.but I used to be afraid to go in my basement!. I was down there when I was 6 or 7 and I heard a laugh or a cackle and I got scared!. Little did I know it was coming from outside from a vent (used for the fireplace we never put in)

Yeah, um, I was so afraid of Aliens!. It was kinda messed up!. Ever since I saw the movie "Signs", I just wasn't normal afterwards!. I would sleep in my little sisters room and look out the hallway in case they came!.
During all that time I couldn't sleep at night at all!. I had really bad insomnia :( I think it lasted about a year!. Good thing I've overcome my silly fear! lolWww@Enter-QA@Com

I was terrified when the batteries started to go bad inside my Speak n' Spell, because I thought that there was a little man inside the computer who was going crazy!
(for those of you who weren't around in the early 80's, Speak n' Spell was a talking computer that taught you how to spell words)

From age four until about age eight, I was convinced that vampires were going to get me, so I couldn't fall asleep unless I had a blanket over my entire body and head!. That got pretty uncomfortable in the summertime with no a/c!.

OK, this one is crazy but, when I was a little chef, I was always afraid of outhouses and porta-potties because my older brother and his friends used to tell me that there was a monster made up from different types/textures of the sh** that was in them!. Now I couldn't think of a more vulnerable position to be attacked from, so i would avoid them at all costs!. Ah, the joy of an older sibling, the rat-basta**!

A phobia I still suffer from is insects and it's not your average fear of bugs that many people have, instead it's way more extreme!. In the summertime I refuse to go in the grass because I'm afraid of what might crawl on me!.
When I was younger the vacuum scared me to death!. I always thought that my foot would get sucked up and I wouldn't be able to get it out!.
Reading the other answers reminded me that I also was afraid of the toilet!. The sound scared me so I would flush, run out, and then run back in to wash my hands!. I was so weird!.

When I was younger I would do this!. (I still kind of do this) When I would be like on a road or somewhere where theres cars, I would always look at the cars around me, who's in them, I'd try to memorize the license plate numbers, I would just have this whole description on my mind in case that car I was looking at had something to do with crime!. I would watch the news a lot just to make sure I saw something!. I've never seen anything!. I stopped after a while!.
also, at night I look out at the sky to look for UFOs!. LOL
I saw one once!. (It was probably a helicopter) I started crying! This was like 3 months ago! I always look at the lights in the sky to make sure if it's an airplane or a helicopter!.
Yeah, I believe in Aliens too, I spend a lot of time researching stuff about that!. Maybe, thats why I have sleeping problems!
I think these are pretty normal I guess!.

- This is funny!. You know cracks in the sidewalk!? well I have a cement back porch and there's cracks in it!. When I was like 5 and 6 years old, I used to think that my house would fall through and I was scared to death for like a whole year!.
- If my dad was gone for a whole day, I would like pee my pants and cry because I was so close to him, I must always know where he is and be near him!. One time when I was 7, I was at my grandparents house staying the night, they are an hour away from us and I started crying because I kept thinking a tornado would come and take my dad from me or something so my dad had to drive up there AFTER just dropping me off and pick me up =D
- On Donkey Kong, the part where it says "Game Over" and Donkey and Diddy are all in bandages from me killing them off, and they would be bruised etc!.!.!.that scared the crap outta me!!! I would almost cry cause they looked so creepy!. When I knew it was gameover, I would turn off the TV before the picture came on so I wouldn't see it and then restart the game haha

I had the same thing with phones!. In fact I'm still scared of calling people I don't know very well; and I never answer the phone if I don't recognize the number!. Not cause I don't feel like it (although, that could be part of it!.!.) it's cause I'm paranoid about it for some reason!.
I'm sure there are others but i can't really think of them now!.
Edit-I thought of some!. When I was little I was so terrified of loud noises, I would go hide under the bed until my mom was done vacuuming!.!.!.I guess that's kind of normal though!.
And for some reason I was scared of lady bugs!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
