The wierdest phobia you know of

[Ih8pkmn]

Not sure of the name, but fear of realtors.

Seriously, though. Atomosphobia, fear of atomic explosions is pretty weird. So is Doraphobia, fear of animal skins or hides. Also, Peladophobia, fear of bald people. And there's Levo and Dextrophobia, fear of things to the leaf and right of the body, respectively.

Hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. The fear of long words. I shit you not, look it up.

That's what I was gonna say. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. I think the word was invented as a joke.
How about anemophobia, the fear of wind. Scary.

fear of being watched by ducks

Spoiler: Look at it...

Sorry for the single-image-post, but it will make at least one person laugh, so I had to.

What's the wierdest phobia you know of? And why do you know about it?
It's not the wierdest one, but I like Kinemortophobia, which is a phobia of zombies

thats not weird from how our science department is advancing well be eating each other by 2012

Must... resist... obvious joke.

Also, I'm pro-cannibalism so long as the person dies naturally instead of being murdered. So, yeah, not necessarily zombies.

OT: I don't know the phobia terms, but I know one person who's afraid of cheese and another who's afraid of wooden puppets. The cheese guy isn't even lactose intolerant or anything. Just freaks out around cheese. I've never understood it.

I knew a guy while back who was literally terrified of butterflies. Like, shit in your pants when he saw them scared. haha it was hilarious to watch.

As weird as it would seem, that would be 'psychophobia'! ('Psyche' being Greek for butterfly...)

hellenophobia (fear of anything Greek!)

I've seen Saw, but I still regard the puppet as nothing more than a tool for the killer. The puppet itself isn't evil, just kind of creepy-looking. Also, he's had that phobia since he was a kid, so about a decade and a half before the first Saw was even made. Apparently, it started with some old kids tv show.

The biggest problem I have against cannibalism is that people practicing it run the risk of catching Kolo (I think that's the name) which turns people insane.

OT: I'm not sure of the name, but I have a fear (somewhat) of living forever.

politicphobia (does it exist?) fear of politics

Mmmm, I think that would be politicophobia (politicos = pertaining to the collective). Maybe...

 

[William MacKay]

phobiophobia. a fear of phobias (NEVER! point out the irony!)

 

[Scarim Coral]

I don't remember the official word for this phobias but there is this guy from a phbias documtary I watched who has a fear of Baked Beans.
I can get people hating baked bean but a fear for them, err what?

 

[VanQ]

Anatidaephobia ? fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (Derived from the word Anatidae, which is the family contain ducks, and the suffix -phobia).

A lot of weird phobias out there, I guess with 6.5 billion people alive at any given moment, there's likely to be some weird ones.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

Barophobia the fear of gravity.

Well that's gotta cause some series problems.
