Triskaidekaphobia: Fear of the number thirteen

That one's not actually all that uncommon. Since our culture has pretty much decided that the number 13 is bad luck a lot of people view it as such and therefore fear it I suppose.

There's some pretty weird ones though. I remember one time when my grandma was in the hospital there were some medical students there doing some hands on type stuff. Anyway one of the students was learning about all the different phobias and she told us some. Like the fear of peanut butter or the fear of air. I'd hate to have that phobia because there's just no way you could get away from it.

Ha, I personally think the people who made the word for this particular phobia are cruel

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.

But its still funny.

Not to meantion anatidaephobia, the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.

That phobia would be win.
