Irrational FearsMy mate Dan is afraid of turning his back on a flushing toilet. "It'll suck me in", he says. Can you beat him with your own true story of an irrational fear?

Bathroom mirrors. I used to be terrified of them, butI'm trying to overcome it with ever-increasing success. I think it stems from crappy horror movies. Something always happens to the (often nekkid and thus unable to run) girl in the bathroom, and often for a "clever" camera angle they'll show it through the bathroom mirror. Candyman, candyman, etc.
This fear manifests itself in two ways: I have to try not to blink if I catch sight of myself in the mirror ('cos then the director will "cut" to the scary thing behind me when I open my eyes) and I have to leave a "nice" face in the mirror (to try to persuade it not to get me next time).
[edit]Also, Mullet Over is right - Daddy-long-leggeses are terrifying.
