Hanners's's's's OCD/What are your phobias
Mr_Rose:
Wow.
Thank you for your story.
I don't know that what I've got is a phobia in that sense, or if it even has a name, but I do occasionally freak out a little when it comes to locked doors. I guess it manifests a bit like claustrophobia in that it mostly happens in enclosed spaces, but it's really to do with being locked in rather than simple confinement. Basically if there's a lock I don't/can't control on a door, I probably won't enter the room until I'm sure there's another way out, or I can break the door down in an emergency. Fortunately, that actually covers most household doors for me, so I'm good almost anywhere that isn't specifically designed to keep people inside. Still, it's never pleasant. It is also connected to past experiences with locked doors as a child (like when too small to reach deadbolts etc.) and someone's idea of a practical joke.
For this reason I am also entirely humourless when it comes to practical "jokes" too - you pull that shit on me and the best you can hope for is a screaming harangue. Woe betide you if you actually manage to piss me off in the doing. But that's less of a phobia and more of a contact sport/hobby.

Water I can't see through. I've always had trouble swimming in lakes and streams that aren't clear, but ever since that time at the beach when a jellyfish got swept up my shorts by a wave...
The Duke:
Technically not a phobia, and I've mostly gotten over it, but ladybugs. You see, my room is the highest and often warmest in the house, especially when bugs are just coming out of hibernation. Long story short, one day I walked into my room and got swarmed by ladybugs. It took me a long while to build up the courage to go into the room (armed with my trusty vacuum cleaner), and literally hours to get them all.
Also, my room smelled gross and weird for a little while after that.
Neskah:
Eheh Awww. I kinda get it tho. Read a short story once about a man and death by snails (shudder)
jackmort:
When I was a kid I was scared of anything with more than four legs. I've improved with age and although i wouldn't say I was scared of bugs anymore I certainly don't feel comfortable around them
I'm also scared of dogs but that's not a phobia because it's rational, the average dog is stronger than me and has sharper teeth, and the average dog-owner has very little control over their pet
also I am scared of clowns and honestly, in my mid-twenties, I'm scared of the dark
