Aulophobia: the fear of flutes... (okay, I have to say that I dreaded when my son first started playing the flute, but fear it? Not really...)
Alliumphobia: fear of garlic (something all vampires suffer from).
Amathophobia: fear of dust (nope, not me!)
Ballistophobia: fear of missiles or bullets (sounds like a good phobia to have).
Coprophobia: fear of feces (someone is actually afraid of feces... why? And how the heck do they clean themselves?)
Dextrophobia: fear of objects at the right side of the body, and levophobia: fear of things to the left side of the body (I hope nobody has both of these phobias at the same time)
Genophobia: fear of sex (they just don't know what they're missing!)
Genuphobia: fear of knees. (Okay, I can understand gymnophobia, the fear of nudity... but there is also a phobia for just about every part of the body... chins, hands, noses... how can you be afraid of your own body... thats just crazy!)
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: fear of long words (I'm not kidding, thats what it is called!)
Hypengyophobia: fear of responsibility (I think I know a few people with that)
Logizomechanophobia: fear of computers (now thats just sad!)
Papyrophobia: fear of paper (I don't get it... how can you be afraid of paper?)
Phobophobia: fear of phobias (of course)
Phronemonphobia: fear of thinking (I definitely know some of those!)
Proctophobia: fear of rectums (I don't fear rectums, I just hate having to deal with them all the time)
Sitophobia: fear of food or eating (definitely not a problem here!)

Be afraid,... be very afraid!!!!
That was too cute! Loving it.
Going this weekend to buy a new car. I'm scared to death. Is there a phobia about car dealerships and the hours and hours and hours one must spend there? Just curious!
Have a great week

Hahahah, I was going to have this very long witty comment but this one stopped me...
Dextrophobia: fear of objects at the right side of the body, and levophobia: fear of things to the left side of the body (I hope nobody has both of these phobias at the same time)
I about peed on myself from laughing at the idea of being that skered of both sides... ok I am a dork...

Hey,
Thanks for your comment. I do stupid things like sticking nerds in my ears and thinking bears talk all the time. I'm known for walking into my sliding glass door at least once a day. Barney is really true?!!! YES! You know..Me and my little sister used to have a fight about that..She said no..I said yes..He sings and dances and sings that " I love you" song... I'll forever be myself..Such a kid at heart. Well I hope you keep coming back and reading my journal. Thanks!!

Great list. Of course I agree with you those are just silly. What boggles my mind is , someone researched all that stuff to come up with that list. I wonder if they are afraid of anything. LOL.
