I don’t know if it’s physically possible, but I sometimes think what if my office chair breaks and the hydraulic piston shoots through the seat and impales my colon.
Real Final Destination shit right there.
Possible trigger warning…
I read an article a few years ago about this happening in China. There were graphic photos from the ER which I won’t discuss here, but If I remember correctly it was a teenager and he actually died because it ruptured an artery in his colon or something like that. Ever since then I’ve always been ok with spending a little more money for a quality chair. Especially if it’s something you’re going to use every day.

Mine is being stuck in another dimension. When I was a kid I was stuck in a multi layer dream and I think I was like 3 layers in before I was about to give up.
Some examples are movies like Room 1408 or Silent Hill.
I don’t think it can happen, but I’m always terrified of it. The closest real life example is disassociation (depersonalization or derealization) fuck that noise.
Yes also that.
3 layer dream?
5 layer dream tree with “fake waking up” thing and sleep paralysis is where it’s at
I’m irrationally afraid that I’ll push too many buttons with my pointer finger and eventually the fat pad will wear away and it’ll just be my fingertip bone with skin stretched over it. :(
Irrational - being kidnapped and not having access to feminine products. Totally rational & terrifying- clowns.
Why is the last one the rational one while the first one is irrational?
I don’t think the first one is irrational
getting bird shit in my mouth. no, really. I have a recurring (but not frequent) “nightmare” about getting bird shit in my mouth through diverse accidents. there’s even an incredibly vivid taste associated with it that I can recall when I’m awake. I’m guessing that toddler me took a gamble for science and wound up scarred for life.
Sea monsters. Doesn’t matter that I’m a middle aged man who has been in dozens of lakes without incident. Every goddamn time there’s a constant “hey, something could rise from the depths and eat you right now. You never know!”
Needles. I got allergy tested when I was little and they pricked my arms hundreds of times to see what I was allergic to. I was also super young do naturally I wanted to itch it, and they wouldn’t let me. It got to the point where they strapped my arms to the table and all I wanted to do was scratch the areas that they had poked me…
Maybe don’t do that to a five year old.
Yea I don’t like needles
I have the same fear. Watching the news during covid was horrible.

Hey fellow skin prick lemming!
Same. And then seeing someone I know with diabetes have to jab every day drove me nuts to think about in a way.
Oddly shaped fruits.
I love fruits more than anything else in the world, but I am weirded out by tropical fruits with an odd shape and/or color (dragon fruit for example)
Do durians count? Those are amazing once you cut them.
Durian taste like wet onions with a bit of fruit to me. It’s like cilantro I guess, you either love it or hate it.
But durians do count for me.
I hear you! Rambutans ( Nephelium Lappaceum) are a no go for me because of the outer texture. Pineapples are Ok
It looks like a virus, just looking at it gross me out haha.
Pineapple, I love. But we grew up with canned pineapple, so that’s why it doesn’t weird me out.
Clowns
I know they’re just people in makeup, but I always fear them no matter how much I try to reason away the fear
What about mimes?
Mimes are fine by me, their acts are largely watch only and not as direct.
Besides, the fear definitely rooted from watching IT at about 8 years old
That I can’t have any thoughts that a future super intelligence would see as a threat.

Walking into a public bathroom that uses motion sensors and it’s dark when I walk in. Guaranteed comfort, you’d think? Nope, according to my brain, I’m probably going to find a body.
The worst thing about these (apart from all the dead bodies obvs.) is that the timer is never long enough for a decent dump. You’re just about ready to start cleanup and all the lights go out!
Being physically around people.
Is this common?
That we* get the government we deserve.
*Global we, not just where you live.
Dark indoor spaces
