arachibutyrophobia DOT COM?! LMAO!

and yet it's not even *about* that! funny that she got that url for her website, but people she tells about it are going to have a hard time getting it typed in right, LOL!

i know! i just found it quite interesting, LOL. "some people these days!" ;)

p.s. okay, i know this list is already an awful bit long, but i just HAD to add these ones that i came across:
Trichopathophobia- Fear of hair
Metrophobia- Fear of poetry
Kathisophobia- Fear of sitting down
Geniophobia- Fear of chins
and check out THIS one- yes, i know that they all seem outrageous, but this one, because of the name i think, seems like it would have to be made up! it just seems like it HAS to be a joke. they all do, yeah, but the NAME haha! how cruel to name that phobia such a long word. do the people who suffer from it freak out every time they are told the name of their phobia?

OH MAN, that is just so WROOOOOOOOONG! ROTFLMAO.

i mean, if a person who actually *has* that phobia is asked what it's called, what are they supposed to say?! that's horrible... LOL.
