If you've ever seen the movie "Bandits," Billy Bob Thornton's character lists some of his phobias that are pretty unique, and as it turns out, in an interview on "Inside the Actor's Studio," he says that he actually listed his own personal phobias as part of the character. The two that really stand out to me is his fear of antique furniture and his fear of Benjamin Disraeli's hair. Seriously.

I have a hurl-inducing level fear of scissors.
It all started when I saw an episode of CSI in which a cocktail waitress was stabbed to death by large "Grand Opening" scissors in the 3rd grade.
Later, the catalyst for my true fear was when in 7th grade when I was "graced" to go to the local foresics lab. Long story short I saw a solved case photo and the next week I got sick when the person sat next to me set his scissors out for an entire class.
Seriously, and everyone makes fun of me, some real buttheads would pretend to throw scissors and crap at me, just to see me flinch.
I am also afraid of being surronded by people (crowd, concert, full elevators) People in middle school also liked to use this one against me. If they wanted something from me they would surround me and force me into a corner. I don't know where I get this one, but my dad and his mother have a similiar fear.

Worked with a guy yhat had a phobia about anyone else sitting on his chair. He would freak if anyone tried and spent ages whenever he came into the office (first thing in the morning or after meetings etc (he ate lunch at his desk)) just wiping the thing with screenwipes and tissues before he would sit on it.

I've heard of phobias such as being afraid of fish, styrofoam, or even buttons.

not realy wacky - I have acrophobia (fear of heights).
But I had climbed everything - mountains, trees houses, etc. all my life, then I got acrophobia at 40yo - really cramps my style as I love climbing.

I heard about Tyra Banks doing a show on that. Tyra is afraid of dolphins, and she had a woman on who was afraid of garden gnomes and one who was afraid of her stove/oven.

I don't remember the name of it but it is the fear of milk. Really, what can milk do to you that would make you afraid of it?
