A New Phobia

11 Oct 06 in Blogging

Lately, I've been scared of something strange. Very strange. What is this new phobia, you ask? Doors. Yup, doors, specifically closed doors. In the past week, doors have been swinging open on people walking past them.

Incident number 1: I was walking with my friend and we were trying to avoid the crowded stairway and we were waling near this door. I had this really weird feeling and decided to walk around the path of the door (for some odd reason) and all of a sudden, BOOM the door opens on this poor unsuspecting guy. It was pretty hard too. He kinda ran into it and the person opened the door really fast.

Incident number 2: My (dramatic) friend almost gets hit by the door she is opening by someone on the other side. She screamed loudly even though she kinda saw the door coming.

Incident number 3: We were rushing to a classroom to get the fundraising materials and we were just about get to the door when WHOOSH my teacher opened the door and almost hit my friend. She joked that she almost got killed by the door later then we noticed the strange events relating to doors...

Incident number 4: So that brings us to today. The cafeteria doors were locked (from the outside) and my phobia of doors was getting to me, so I decided to wait a while before knocking on it. Just as I was about to knock, both doors opened and then I knew that doors were out to get us...

So be careful, doors are just waiting to jump out at you!

    I can just see xreko in a doorless house when she grows up. (Maybe she'll have a front door to keep the bad guys out.)

    I am performing a fire risk assessment at work which will result in putting emergency fire exits in. these will open in the direction people travel to get of the building...into the corridors.
    So the chances of a fire are 1 in a thousand but the chances of walking into an opening door down the corridor are evens...someone is gonna get hurt...lol

    Fear of dentist is drilling through

    Fear of dentist has got to be one of the most suffered phobias among people. A British study suggested that 4 out of 10 British are afraid of visiting the dentist in one way or another, while an American study claims that it's between 5 out of 10 in their group. That only tells us one thing: Among all phobias and fears, fear of dentist is by far the big winner.

    We have mentioned before that fear of clowns and fear of success are very common social phobias and fears. While fear of clowns affect a big majority of children, fear of success rates better among adults. One of the things that fear of dentists and fear of clowns have in common is the way they originate.

    These two phobias and fears are caused by a post-traumatic stress disorder. A previous dramatic or painful dentist experience might have been the trigger. Not only would a visit to the dentist cause such phobias and fears, but also the simple narration of a painful dentist event by
