10 Most Irrational Phobias

According to me.

Part 3 of the phobia rant.

1. Nomatophobia- Fear of names. How do you identify anything? Me doesn't get it.
   
2. Ambulophobia- Fear of walking. That cat is LAZY! No, he is severely ambulophobic, don't be a jerk.


3. Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc. It's not appropriate to joke about any culture. Or perhaps I have culturejokaphobia.


4. Arithmophobia- Fear of numbers. Yeah - if I were that guy, I'd be afraid too. Dumb. I know. But it's an irrational fear. "Irrational" is a math word! Is that scary? Is there a phobia for fearing the irrational?
   


5. Asymmetriphobia- Fear of asymmetrical things. Asymmetry is annoying. Come on people!


6. Bibliophobia- Fear of books. How about the fear of having to read really boring books? I've got that. I've got that bad.


7. Cherophobia- Fear of gaiety. Smiling is my favorite. This kind of smiling not so much:


8. Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks. What about fear of unrecognizable slimy food? Not a culture joke- slimy food in general.


9. Melanophobia- Fear of the color black. That's irrational..except...for fear of black jellybeans, those are disgusting!


10. Agateophobia- fear of insanity. Does fearing insanity make one insane? Who cares.
