Irrational fears

[GTIR]

For some reason I am bothered with toilet cisterns, they make me feel uncomfortable if I have to take a look inside!

My OH has a huge problem with big motor boats on the back of transporters, which is a problem because in Cambridge there is a layby that always has one on it way to the fitting yards on the Anglian east coast and need to go via Newmarket to miss the low bridges on the A14.

She says its unatural!

Know what you mean. Whenever I have to change the blue tablet thing, I always get a bit of a shudder when lifting off the cistern lid.

It's just plumbing, FFS!

Funny I used to be bothered by them as well for some reason! Blocked so many toilets in my time now that it doesn't bother me!

If it was someone else's turd in the toilet I might revert mind you

You shouldn't put the blue thingy in the cistern apparently it rots the seals? dunno how much truth there is in that.

I was going to mention that - how do you get turds in the cistern?

I'm scared of grey squirrels. It's that look of evil they have in their oh so innocent and fluffy little faces.

They are planning something I tells ya.

Don't say I didn't warn you all...

How do you get grey squirrels in your cistern?

i'm petrified of birds (of the feathered variety), my boyfriend thinks that is irrational

Cotton wool, and ice. God just typing those made my back go strange.

Dying alone. At night. From breathing difficulties.

I don't, they just appear in there. It's already happened a few times this week.

As I said, they are planning something...

The guy who put our two new bathrooms in said the same.

Dunno about rotting the seals, but it has the makings of an impressive stalagmite.

I've heard of this. This is part of their plan.

my stepdaughter is scared or moths and butterflies, like you would be scared of snakes or spiders.

if there is on on the wall near the stairs she won't go down them until its been moved.

I thought all females are like that? (apart from my OH)

Planning? Family planning might be an idea, with nuts that big.

spiders. really can't stand them, but i wouldn't call it irrational

the OH is scared of baked beans. she can't even say the words and has a go at me when i do. i hate going for a full english with her as she has a right mard if i have beans with mine. i have tried to ask where this stems from but she hates even talking about it. perhaps she had a run in with rammage before she met me

oh, and a mate's mum is scared of driving over bridges. she is fine as a passneger but absolutely will not drive over one herself, to the point of having various family members having to drive out to meet her if she inadvertently drives near one.
