People are afraid of some very weird things. No, not the fear of flying or clowns, but really lame stuff that will make you say, “What the firetruck???”
1. Gnomophobia
Gnomophobia is the fear of garden gnomes, which seems entirely reasonable to us. It’s only a matter of time before they team up to slaughter humankind.
2. Barophobia
Barophobics, people terrified that gravity will reverse itself, probably shouldn’t watch Trainspotting or The Crazies.
3. Arachibutyrophobia
The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth, arachibutyrophobia claims the sanity of millions of kindergarteners every year.
4. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. What a cruel, cruel phobia … especially on spelling tests.
5. Blennophobia
People with blennophobia, the fear of slime, must be scared sh*tless of Ghostbusters and Nickelodeon.
6. Dextrophobia
The fear of objects on the left side of the body, dextrophobia must be especially difficult for Two-Face’s enemies.
7. Paraskavedekatriaphobia
Another reasonable phobia, paraskavedekatriophobia is the fear of Friday the 13th … especially the worry that there will be yet another lame movie.
8. Pogonophobia
We must have pogonophobia, the fear of beards, because thinking about the bits of food this guy must have hidden in there terrifies us.
9. Zemmiphobia
This hideous creatures skeeves us out, too. Perhaps we have zemmiphobia, the fear of the Great Mole Rat.
10. Pteridophobia
No walks in the forest for pteridophobics, freaks who are afraid of ferns. Yep, that’s right. Ferns.
11. Geniophobia
Geniophobic people, who fear chins, probably don’t watch The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
12. Aulophobia
Aulophopia, the fear of flutes, seems rational when confronted by Jimmy’s magic flute from HR Puffinstuff. Sure, it’s smiling … but it’s the creeping smile of death.
13. Rhabdophobia
The fear of wands, rhabdophobia is another good reason to avoid Harry Potter movies.
14. Walloonphobia
Walloonphobia, probably the lamest phobia ever, is the fear of people from Wallonia, an obscure region northwest of France. Is it the scary rooster on their flag? No, it’s because Walloons speak French, and everyone knows the French are evil. Or ridiculous. Whatever.
15. Pteronophobia
Who could possibly be afraid of being tickled with feathers? Pteronophobics.
16. Nomophobia
Nomophobia, the fear of losing cell phone contact, is deeply rooted in teenagers everywhere.
17. Consecotaleophobia
Throwing star? No problem. Ninjas? Hah! Chopsticks? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!! For consecotaleophobics, chopsticks are the most horrific weapons ever.
18. Novercaphobia
One’s stepmother inspires terror in novercaphobics – unless she’s a MILF, of course.
19. Helminthophobia
Like helminthophobics, we’re scared of being infested with worms, too. Especially since tapeworms can grow to be 37 feet long.
20. Linonophobia
The only time we experience linonophobia, the fear of string, is when we see it in some guy’s patootie.
Which phobia do you think is the lamest? Tell us in the comments!
