Phobias.

I sat on a toilet and ended up with a large spider running around on my ass once. I feel bad because I overreacted and the spider got flushed. Poor spider, it didn't deserve that. Am I helping?

Before you judge, I should elaborate that I am scared of the urban myths about people who stick things under the toilet seat like razor blades and needles filled with AIDS and things like that. I'm not just scared of public toilets, I'm nervous at home too. It's just the thought of sitting down on a toilet seat and being jabbed in the thigh (or worse) with a needle or a razor slicing my leg open.... I hate it. I hate going to the public toilet when there's nobody else in the restroom area as well, I think it may have to do with the awful lighting that makes it feel like the bathroom in the movie SAW. I'm scared I will be jumped and murdered in the toilet. This sounds really dumb reading it back, but it's always creeped me out.

See, I have a fear of using the restroom when other people are in it (like public bathrooms). I just cant stand someone being in another stall. I cant even use the urinals.

How is that overreacting? If you had leapt up screaming... that still would have been an appropriate reaction.
BobJoeJim:
Perhaps that would have been an appropriate reaction, but saying so is a far less effective way of messing with the people who are afraid of toilets. You know, in a friendly, totally non-malicious way... :evil:

Strangely enough, that doesn't bother me as much as the idea of sharp objects or other perils hiding beneath the seat. Statistically speaking, you're never more than 6 feet away from a spider, so it would stand to reason they were near the toilet. I'm not nearly as nervous about spiders as I am about inadvertently undergoing female castration while trying to take a leak. (Though if anyone wants to kill that huge spider on my ceiling, feel free....)
