Fantastic post about phobias, btw. Learned several of them. It sorta inspired me to write a series based on phobias.

But those other dolls...you know the ones...often made of china, who are all dressed up, just sitting on shelves, with big eyes watching you as you walk through the room. I once visited my mom's cousin, who had collected them for years, and had hundreds in display cabinets throughout her home. It was like being in some bizarre carnival fun house, and it totally creeped me out! :( My "real phobias" (terrorists, crashing airplanes, etc.) pale in comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757587731494610772.post-62954552115709987822012-08-06T20:42:32.800-04:002012-08-06T20:42:32.800-04:00Glad you liked my post, Paul.

A coworker was afraid of Oompa-Loompas(sp?)from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Even their songs creeped her out, so of course everyone constantly sang them to her! Also, on a talk show I saw a girl who was terrified of pickles. She didn't just dislike the taste, she was afraid of one even being near her.

I remember the Mad Cow scare. There are plenty of phobias related to diseases.<br /><br />I wouldn't touch Barbie dolls, and I never received one as a child.

I have a terrible fear of eating ground meat that I have not ground myself, but the basis to it is that whole bovine spongiform encephalitis ("Mad Cow") scare in the '80s. I have a few other, more irrational, fears, but I'll leave it at that. ;-)Leigh M.

By the way, my previous post was about what I did with Barbies during my childhood.
