12 Weird Phobias That Actually Exist





Fear is a reasonable reaction to a lot of things in life. It’s useful. When you feel threatened, it’s fight or flight, and flight sure keeps you alive. And overcoming your fears is a part of life. Everybody faces down something they fear eventually, or they get stopped in their tracks. You can’t let fear keep you from moving forward and living your life.


However, not all fear is rational. Some people out there have downright strange fears. You just can’t explain them. It’s not like a fear of falling from great heights or a fear of axe-murdering psychos. Lots of people avoid those. But how many of us fear the things on this list?



COMMENT and let us know your weird phobia!











1. Nomophobia


Is losing signal on your cell phone an inconvenience, or do you quake at the thought? If you’re afraid of losing cell contact or not being able to find your phone, you’ve got nomophobia.




2. Deipnophobia


Dinner parties and dining conversation can be elegant or unpleasant, but if you have deipnophobia, you’re not going near them.











3. Pteridophobia


It’s hard to say what would make people afraid of ferns. Maybe those fronds look too much like tentacles?




4. Aulophobia


Pity those who fear flutes. They will miss out on some of the sweetest, funkiest jazz out there.

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
