Phobias Do you have one?

I have a zombie phobia too. I realize zombies arent “real” but that doesn’t stop me from having irrational fears about them.
I remember when the 2005 tsunami killed all those people just after Christmas. I had just bought and watched Dawn of the Dead (the newer one) the night before. I remember the irrational fear I had - thinking: what if they all came back as zombies? Sure its not very likely, but what if all of a sudden it happened?
I worked myself into a horrible anxiety attack and was forced to watch Dawn of the Dead again with the directors commentary so I could hear about how fake it was and how they were all just actors and so on.
The commentary was hilarious so it worked out in my favor.
Any body else have an irrational fear that makes them think and do retarded stuff?

Now I don't sleep with the light on after moving upstairs and not have those sort of events happening.
Spiders are my second brought on from someone elses fear.
I am beginning to understand a little about spiders including the one outside my door. I think it is a money spider and from what I read they eat their own kind when they are hungry by spinning a thick web whilst the other is sleeping, pumping a digestive fluid through a sharp built in needle thing into the other spider and then they feed on the digested parts into fluid form. But this doesn't help solve my fear.

Lets see....
I'm afraid of Heights
like i can't even jump from
the fourth stair on a staircase
spiders, mice and or rats
but i don't scream unless
they are un Godly close to me
I have a fear of dying alone, or in the kitchen,
in my room, on the bus
and in the bathroom
I have a fear of armed robbery
not being able to provide for myself
never getting married
theres more but
i think you all get the point
Duct tape is like the force....
There's a lightside, a darkside
and it holds everything together

I don't have a fear of zombies so much as a tendency to act as if there will be a zombie attack at some point in the future. It's another reason why I never stand farther away from a wall than I have to, and try to put people between myself and the door. After all, zombies are slow, right? And even slower, I suspect, if they're munching on other people's brains. For this reason I always have the feeling that people who stand or sit in the middle of rooms are stupid, and I feel faintly guilty about not warning them to find a better position.
It's also how I evaluate potential purchases. Many a time, the deciding factor in whether to buy something or not has been, "Well, is it practical/necessary to have this while fleeing from zombies?" The same goes for things I already own. For instance, when I'm getting dressed in the morning, or deciding what to bring with me somewhere, since if I'm running from zombies I want to travel light.
I think lice would make me freak out. After all, there are little, vicious, nearly brainless creatures EATING YOUR HEAD. Who wouldn't be a little scared?

I store non-perishable foods and make sure I have plenty of sharp swords and blunt weapons on hand just incase. I figure swords don’t run out of bullets. The Samurai swords seem like they would be better suited to long term zombie-warfare as opposed to the medieval style swords. They're lighter and double folded or something and I think they'd be good for the long haul.
I also plan my rout of escape when I go to new places, just in case. Of course, all my planning takes into consideration the possibility of the fast-running zombies from the newer Dawn of the Dead.
This is all probably terribly unhealthy. I think it all stems from that day my babysitter let me watch night of the living dead when I was 4. What a bitch.

i dated a girl once who also shared your phobia,.fear of clowns.
she said her phobia was brought on by Stephen King's "IT"

Does that freak anyone else out, or is it just another facet of my people-and/or-touch-phobia?
