Smile I bet you all I have the weirdest phobia

Alektorophobia, fear of chickens!

At the age of 4 I was pushed into a chicken pen by my cruel nanny. I was scared and wanted to get out. The chickens were scurrying by my feat and I was afraid of what was in the chicken coupe. Ever since then I have been completely unable to touch/get near birds and for a while I couldnt even look at pictures of chickens, especially roosters. Now I'm somewhat better but I would still rather die than go near a chicken.

Here's my really weird phobia: Ailanthus trees. You know, those ugly, smelly, fast growing trees that grow in empty lots. Those big, mutant-like leaves scare the crap out of me!

In case you don't know, here's the tree I'm talking about : [url="http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/esadocs/ailaalti.html"]http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/esadocs/ailaalti.html[/url]

Those phobias are really strange. I think everything has to do with your childhoods.. I was just wondering though:
Mike, do you eat chicken?
And bjg, I love turtles.. where I live there is these little sea turtles on the beach.. they're so small cause I think they just hatched or whatever, and they're all over the beach. You'd DIE!
Well, I'd have to say I'm not afraid of really any animals to that point but I do jump when some insect is on me. OR if a bee wants to come in my car and I'm driving. (isn't that everyone's fear?)

Well I have a real real fear of snakes....i don't know why...i am so sure that something happened when i was a kid..but who knows. I can't even look at a picture of a snake...and good god the other night i was flipping though channels late at night and started watching a movie that looked pretty good..until the snake appeared...good god..it was ANACONDA!! I screamed like i was being killed, my husband ran out of the bedroom thinking i was being attacked..and when he found out i was watching ANACONDA he laughed his butt off, so not nice. When me and my husband were dating we went to the boundry waters canoe area with a bunch of friends..and when we were porting he found one of those garter snakes..thinking he would be cute he showed it to me...me freaking out screaming is what he got..our friend said "hey man don't do that she is scared of things without legs" so i ran in the water...thinking the snake couldnt get me...and what does my boyfriend do?? he throws it in the water...and that icky thing came swimming..slithering on water right toward me....OMG that was terrible...and i ask myself..why did i marry him??? he he he
