Answer 1

I used to be afraid of being splashed by dirty toilet water when I flushed the toilet. One time I actually was. It scarred me for life.

To this day I always put down the lid before I flush. This is one of the reasons why I try to avoid public bathrooms when I can: the toilets usually don't have lids to close.

I suppose we wouldn't get along too well! :)

Answer 3

I was afraid that monsters would get me if I didn't flash a "peace" sign at mirrors. I also count to five when I get scared. I'm 26 and still do it. (Mild o.c.d.)
