What's the official name for a fear of llamas?
Is it just Llamaphobia?
...and did you know Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth?
ETA: Why is a fear of horses called Hippophobia? 0_o

But Spiders. :yuck:
i would say of work too, but thats only cause i cant be arsed to work today.
Wow, I'm Trypanophobic and Nosocomephobic as well as everything else in the bloody world...
I also have an irrational "fear" of wet hairs, no one understands me though.
Dry Sponge! I cant touch it, or stand other people touching it... it drives me crazy!
No idea what the name of it would be though, if there is one!
I hate wet hairs! When they stick to you and wont get off *shudders*
I understand your pain!
I also have a very bad phobia of injections/blood tests too.
Yes! Finally.. someone who understands me.
Well minus the social phobia, but thats evolved into just social anxiety now, no longer phobia
I have several times, and completely froze with terror, couldn't scream, could hardly breathe....
The closest thing to a phobia I have (it's debatable whether it actually is one) is glitches in video games. They freak me out big time.
i hate spiders too, but i wouldn't say it was a phobia (and it does REALLY bother me when people say they're phobic when they're just a bit scared). i do a quick check of rooms as i go in, and i ALWAYS shake out my clothes before i put them on, but i know for a fact there's a spider loose in this house as we speak, and i'm still in the house, so by my definitions it can't be that bad. i just really hate them.
again with dentists. i hate them desperately, and i get myself in such a state when i have to go, but i do still go, so therefore not a phobia either.
