2006/4/3, Mascarenhas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Leitores mandaram suas fobias para o site da BBC
As the Magazine reported last Friday, the list of
officially-recognised phobias is long and often
bizarre, and it is estimated that 13 percent of the
adult population will develop a phobia at some point.
In response, you weren't slow to share your own fears.
Many were so pungently described as to be almost
contagious; some were intended to amuse. Here, we
present a selection of 20 of your fears - look away
now if the mere mention of buttons, animal costumes or
takeaway forks send you into a cold sweat.
20. Haircuts: People think my hair is long because of
my indie dress sense, but to be honest it is because I
am scared to death of the chair and the scissors. I am
shaking typing this. My last haircut was 12 months
ago, when my flatmate took kitchen scissors to my head
when I was asleep. I feel ridiculous but even therapy
just won't work.
Chris McCall, Edinburgh
19. Birds, wings, feathers: Walking around town
squares is frightening and hellish for me - the
thousands of pigeons seem like brainless assassins
after my life.
Ju-Lee Sandhu, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
18. Gravy: My big brother has a phobia of gravy. The
mere mention of gravy sends him into a frenzy.
Jo Traynor, Liverpool
17. Boats: I have an incredible fear of boats. It's
silly and irrational and I realise that, but the
bigger the ship, the more terrified I am of the
thought of it floating on water or even going out to
sea. .
Roddy Fraser, London
16. Mould/cheese: I have a phobia of mould. I know how
irrational it is - until I see some mould, then I run
from the room shaking. I also get shaky at blue
cheese. I agree about the stress aspect - when I'm
under pressure my panic is far greater. I'm not mad.
Honest.
Katherine, London
15. Computers: I'd like to comment, but I'm scared of
computers.
Tony Gallagher, Oamaru, New Zealand
14. Scarecrows: "I am terrified of scarecrows and I
have no idea why. I just find them truly hideous to
behold."
Matt, Kent
13. Flamingos: "If one comes on the television I
normally retch. Luckily there aren't many that I come
in contact with day to day. I think it might have
started with the ones in Alice in Wonderland when I
was a child."
Nadia, Brighton
12. Carrots: "I've feared carrots since a very young
age. I put it down to them being orange with what
appears to be green hair and those teeth like fangs."
Nathan Walsh, Sheffield
11. Pen-lids: "I have two very odd phobias. I cannot
look or go anywhere near sheep, and the other is pen
lids. I cannot have a pen lid on my desk in front of
me. If I see one at work I have to get a colleague to
come and pick it up for me. I cannot even touch it
myself."
Andrea Ward, Essex
10. Coleslaw: "I can't have it in the house, let alone
in my fridge. When I'm out to eat I have to check with
the waiter before ordering that there will be no
coleslaw on my plate and avoid looking at other
peoples plates, just in case."
Daniel Windrim, Belfast
9. Cats: "I have extreme phobia for cats. Hence I
always check before visiting anyone whether they have
cats. I would not go near or be near to a cat. It can
cause a lot of anxiety in me, weeks of sleepless
nights or even fall ill. Some people do not take the
phobia seriously. Therefore it add further stress to
me when joke about it."
Christina Spybey, London
8. Wind farms: "I am terrified of wind farms. As a
regular visitor to Devon and Cornwall, where there are
quite a few, I have to insist all the car doors are
locked. Over-exposure to the original War of the
Worlds may be the cause."
Sarah, Bristol
7. Animal costumes: "I have an intense fear of people
in those big animal costumes. Football mascots for
example. The thought of going to Disneyland and
meeting Mickey Mouse frightens the life out of me. I
think it's the constant smile and their inability to
speak. Plus you don't know who is inside the costume.
If I see one in the street I run the other way and
find a new way to my destination."
Sarah, Derby
6. Takeaway forks/ice lolly sticks: "I have a fear of
the wooden forks you get when you buy fish and chips,
does it get any odder than that?"
Steve, London
"I was in my teens when this started. I remember being
a child and chewing the stick afterwards and being
scolded for it. Now, even touching a stick, such as
the wooden forks that come with fish and chips or a
kebab skewer makes me physically sick. Even writing
this mail has me bringing up water in my mouth. Even
curiouser I can touch bare wood (my job usually
involves wooden pallets) so I think it's just wood
that food's on."
Lee Dixon, Sunderland
5. The letter Y: "M phobia is all about the letter .
Ever time I tr to press it on the ke board, it makes
me want to cr . I know it seems sill to ever one else,
but it all started when I was a bab , and I swallowed
a magnetic letter. At least that's what My mumm and
dadd told me an wa ."
Paul Davies, Swindon, UK
4. Tomatoes: " Not just any tomatoes - big, juicy beef
tomatoes with glistening red skins. If I am served
one, sliced or unsliced, it turns my stomach and I
cannot touch any food that has been in contact with
it. It stems from my childhood. I was 11 and went to
play with a friend one afternoon. I remember the
kitchen being gloomy and filled with the most
disgusting smell of tripe cooking on the range for the
dogs in big steaming iron pots. His father, a tall
booming man with no hair, served us up some sandwiches
while we sat bare-legged on cold wooden stools. They
were filled with thick slices of ham (I am now
vegetarian) and pieces of roughly-cut tomato. I
remember the clear goo dripping from the edges of the
bread and the smell of tripe filling the room and his
father loudly telling us to eat up and me choking on a
piece of tomato."
Antony Davis, London
3 Baked beans: "Just typing and thinking about it
makes me want to vomit. I can't be in the same house
as anyone eating them, the smell alone brings me out
in a sweat."
Elaine Green, Littlehampton
"As a child I was completely terrified of baked beans.
I couldn't sit on the same table as someone who was
eating them and I used to feel physically sick at the
sight of them. I used to inspect the soles of my shoes
every time I left the school refectory to ensure that
I hadn't stepped on a bean. Horror of horrors, my
worst nightmare was realised, when one day I stepped
on a bean. It sounds incredulous but my mum had to buy
me another pair of shoes as I refused to wear shoes
that had been contaminated."
Sarah Jones, Cardiff
2. Balloons: "I have severe globophobia - a fear of
balloons. It makes shopping difficult when stores are
giving away balloons to children, and it is
practically impossible for me to go to a party without
first checking if balloons will be part of the
decoration."
Clair, Southampton
"I once had to leave my office because it had been
decorated for a big launch with hundreds of balloons
and I just freaked out. Walking through town is a
nightmare with the balloons that get handed out to
children in restaurants and shops. Funnily enough
though, it's only the latex ones I'm afraid of - it's
not just the bang factor, it's the squeaking and the
smell. But maybe even more unusual is a friend of mine
who has a pathological fear... of jam."
Wyvern, Plymouth UK
1. Buttons: "My button phobia started when I was about
10, after the most awful experience with a demon -
oops, I mean dentist. As he was tearing my mouth to
bits all I can remember is crying and the four buttons
on his white tunic. I've been married for 25 years and
my wife still has to carefully choose what clothes she
buys as not to upset me. And God help me if I ever see
a pearly King or Queen."
Danny, Sidcup, Kent
"Even as a small child I hated being dressed in any
items with buttons on them. I am getting better as I
get older and can wear certain items of clothing but
still seeing small white plastic buttons makes my
stomach turn (even writing this made me feel a bit
odd.)"
Yvonne, Wilton
"Since I was little I have always had a fear of
buttons - not buttons on clothes but loose ones that
are either on the floor or if I am rummaging around in
a drawer and come across one I freak out and can't
even touch it. I have since met two other people that
have the same phobia - at least I am not the only
one."
Kirsty Turner, Brighton
