One of my favourites has to be octophobia: fear of the figure 8.
Another is arithmophobia: fear of numbers.
Of course there are those life threatening ones like hydrophobia: fear of water and mageirocophobia: fear of cooking.
Then there's the just plain odd, like porphyrophobia: fear of the colour purple and genuphobia: fear of the knees.
There are some phobias that are reasonably acceptable. Like, arachnophobia (betcha all heard of that one): fear of spiders. And acrophobia: fear of heights.
So tell me, what's your favourite phobia? There sure are a lot to choose from!
