It's not really a weird fear, because when you pose the idea who WOULDN'T be scared of it? It's more that I'm always thinking about it...

Well, congratulations, you now have me sitting here staring at a pen wondering how hard it would be to give oneself an emergency tracheotomy.

Haha, that's what I end up thinking... would I have the stones to do it to myself, or would I just die like a chump?

Sorry to pass on the horror. I do feel better though! Because you know what they say, something like happiness shared is doubled, and sadness shared is halved, so you took half of my fear by thinking about it tracheotomizing yourself. XD

I have a fear of buttons. I think theyre gross, tainted, evil.. I think theyre everything that is wrong with this world.

That's certainly a unique fear. I've never come across that one before.
What's your opinion on hook-and-eye closures?

My fears are pretty common and boring. My main is insects... and I live in the south... I'm also scared of house fires and heights.

I'm afraid of moths and butterflies. My children mock me.

I suppose you haven't seen Coraline?

What is it about buttons that gets you?

Anytime I eat a peanut butter sandwich I'm afraid I'm going to die. Because it gets stuck in my throat if I'm not careful.

I'm also weirdly afraid of getting in a car accident while I have a full bladder. I know I would pee myself. So getting rescued would be extra embarrassing.

If it's any consolation, I think I'd pee myself in a car accident even with an empty bladder.

I sometimes lie in bed worrying that the room is starting to look tilted because the foundation of the house is sinking in one corner and it's all going to come crashing down....

that's a pretty weird irrational fear.
