What's your phobia ???

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Argh! I knew some ass would have to post a nasty bugger!

And those are the worst. I've had many encounters with them in the middle of the night. I swear I can see their eyes staring into my soul.

I once woke up with a cockroach crawling over my face. First thought that fucker was a spider. I probably launched it a few blocks.

You've made me do a quick room check. Just in case.

Something for everyone on this site - like toiletphobias - LOL:

"Fear of being sucked down the toilet (the louder they flush the worse it
is)"

http://www.unusualphobias.com/Toiletspage.html

Quote: "I hate toilets full stop. I fear being sucked down one (as someone said, the louder they flush the worse it is), I fear a toilet overflowing and I especially fear toilets with a high-level cistern or wall-hung toilets as it has been called. It's great to know I'm not the only one!
I have a name, a friend of mine used to be a student of Ancient Greek and came up with Afodronaphobia. Afodrone being the Greek word for toilet. Not sure about the spelling. "

Makes me feel normal... :crazy:

I have a fear of speaking my "native" language, Japanese, to other Japanese people. It's not because I can't understand or can't speak but honestly, it's because 1. I have a southern "uneducated" accent, and 2. because I didn't graduate Japanese school I am not very good at writing or reading compared to most Japanese around me. To make things worse, there's 2,300 common use characters all with different meanings and readings which gets even natives confused at times, so when you take into account I never finished even high school in Japan, I look even more like an idiot.

I just have that fear of my own people thinking I'm stupid...that and centipedes.
