What is a small phobia you have?
Example:
It bothers me to watch someone ELSE brush their teeth. Spitting out the toothpaste makes me gag almost.
Backstory:
In my early 20s, a buddy of mine and I picked up a case of beer and drove to the drive in. When we still had those for outdoor movies.
We knew a couple of girls who worked there and were waiting for them to get off work.
The movies that night were gory ones - we got there at the tail end of the first movie, which was about zombies.
My buddy went up to the office to check on when the girls would be available, so I settled in, opened a beer and started watching the next movie.
The plot was fairly bare: Construction workers hassle little boy's older sister, so he injects rabies into a couple of pies and gives them to the workers. All Hell breaks loose with the workers.
Pretty boring, right?
Well, the guys are chasing the girl and her brother around (yeah, that plan didn't work the way he thought). They get into a car and lock the doors. One of the now rabid workers jumps on the hood and is screaming at the two inside the car.
And then it happened...
Just as I'm swallowing a drink of my beer, the guy on the hood opens his mouth and all of this foamy bile comes out of his mouth, running down his chin and dripping on the windshield.
I gagged and spewed beer out of the window of our car.
Since then, I can't watch anyone brush their teeth.
I know the cause and someday I'll have to make myself get over it.
But for now, I simply avoid seeing it.
There, that's one of mine.
What's yours?
