Thank you to the lovely Nickie over at Typecast for tagging me in the latest meme doing the rounds of the blogosphere – What are you afraid of? This one is ideal for me because I’m a bit of a worrier by nature so I’m afraid of lots of things, most of them irrational.
The two that make Mr Frugal laugh are my kitchen cupboard fear and my straight stair phobia so rather than bore you by telling you about my ‘normal’ fear of spiders (evil creatures), injections (had a bad experience) and rollercoasters (what the point of them) I thought I would tell you about my weird phobias. Before I do though, be warned – they will sound completely ridiculous to anyone but me!
When I was younger I used to dread the big Christmas shop that my dad used to do as I was terrified the kitchen cupboards would fall off the walls with the weight of the stuff!!! Even now, I’m really careful about what goes in my cupboards and only buy what I know we need because I don’t want to put too much in there.
I hate straight stairs and even though we’ve moved house four times in the last ten years, none of our houses have had straight stairs in them. No matter how much I like a house, if the stairs are straight it would be off my list. I’d like to sound all grown up and say it’s because I am into Feng Shui and all that but it’s not – I just have straight stair phobia 😉 I wonder if there’s a technical name for that?
I bet you think I’m weird now don’t you?
Well now I’m going to tag lots of you lovelies so I can learn all about you 😉

Hey! I have my post up! http://thedailymomdiaries.blogspot.com/2010/05/…
Thanks so much for tagging me, very cool :O) Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Thanks so much! I will put this up tomorrow and send you the link. I love your answers by the way….I know what you mean by a straight stair case. I have one in my house and it freaks me out. Mine is very steep and I am paranoid about falling down them.

hahahaha only just seen this 😀
I'm sorry 🙁 My bad – I shouldn't laugh at your irrational fear but it's just the “weight of the Christmas shopping” hahahahah 😀
We have straight stairs but they lead off in two directions (another step upwards) at the top. Do they count or not. I have pictures…. *tease*tease*
Ooooh How mean were those three men!
I'll look forward to hearing yor next worst fear 😉

Ooooo cheers for the tag will get this done later!!!!
Thanks for tagging me, but I am not sure I am ready to talk about my biggest fear yet…
Thanks for stopping by my site and following me! I am now your newest follower! I can't really think of something weird that I am afraid. 🙂
This is what I am genuinely afraid of http://thekingandeye.blogspot.com/2010/04/tumbl… but had done this post up a while back, it is just as weird as yours. I will get to the drawing board though and think of my second weirdest fear, thanks for tagging me:) Your two fears make perfect sense btw, mind you that is coming from me who also as a really weird fear lol. Jen.
I have to admit, I've never heard of a fear of straight stairs. But I guess they can be as frightening as just about anything else! 🙂
Thanks so much for joining us at Friendly Friday, I'm so glad you could be a part of it!
