    It's gotta be something racist.

    Re: What is your craziest, most extreme irrational fear?

    I'm afraid of repetitive raised patterns of unknown type and origin. It is an absurd fear, but a pile of upright golf tees suddenly appearing on the ground next to me would generate the same reaction as a cat realizing there is a cucumber next to them. If I knew what it was, I still wouldn't want to look at it but it wouldn't be a jumping sort of fear. I'd just avert my eyes. Obviously random and unexpected raised patterns don't usually pop up in real life so it's more of an "ahhh", flip the page back in a book or close out the browser really quickly sort of reaction. Interestingly, irregular patterns don't bother me. It has to be uniform. So if a pile of junk were to suddenly appear it wouldn't bother me.

    I'm also afraid of heights and I'm afraid of the restraint failing on upside down roller coasters but I don't consider those irrational.

    Yeah, some of what others have said I definitely don't consider irrational.
    I am with you on the restraint fear. I used to ride everything; the last time my family drug me on a whimpy ride (tame enough a 5 year old was allowed on), I was almost in tears because I was convinced we were all going to fall out and die.

    I took a deep breath and did a google search for you. It gave me vertigo to look at this: https://www.google.com/search?q=repe...w=1920&bih=922

    I'd say that this def counts as an irrational fear.

    I don't know. I don't think anyone has discussed prizes.

    Just realized I have this one - trypophobia: a fear of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes.

    Maybe his fear is sharing, and that original post was extremely difficult for him.
