Irrational Fears

• Things with long arms (i.e. – aliens, spider monkeys, tripod robots from War of the Worlds)
• Parasites (i.e. – everything on Monsters Inside Me, most of which come from cats or Africa)
• Random things decaying around me (i.e. – my car, my skeleton)
• Butterflies (I like the idea, not the execution)
• Touching raw chicken (I go through a whole bottle of hand soap when I cook)
• Not having my windshield wipers on exactly the right setting when it rains (no further explanation needed, I assume this worries everyone)
• Sharks in swimming pools (no one expects it until it happens)
• Eyeballs (touching, watching other people touch, eye drops, contacts, thinking about, etc.)
• Apocalypses of any nature (zombie, epidemic, nuclear war, super storm, comet, Rapture [I assume I'll be left behind], etc.)
• Being abducted by aliens (in its own right, separate from the long arms thing)
