An irrational fear

For some reason I feel the need to re-hash this blog post because it has reared it's ugly head and has been tormenting me.
Going on three months ago I was making my "faux coffee" as hubby likes to call it.
I was just about to dump the mix into the cup and saw a S-P-I-D-E-R.
You can read the rest of the story on the previous post.
(Sorry to make more work, I just thought it might be redundant to write the same thing twice.)

I now have developed this irrational fear of spiders being in my coffee cup.
Each time I get a coffee cup out of the cabinet I have to flip it over really quick to see if there is a spider in it.
This is getting ridiculous especially considering the fact that it is getting cold out and I am constantly getting out mugs for faux coffee, hot chocolate or apple cider.
This is happening multiple times a day, get a grip Danna!
It is reaching ridiculous heights.
Yesterday as I was putting dishes away I reached for a mug and had to flip it over really quick to check.
Seriously?
I had to mentally chastise myself.
I had just run the dishwasher.
How in the world was a spider going to get into the dishwasher and into the newly cleaned mug.

How about you.
Do you have any irrational fears?
If so, what are they?
Feel free to share :)

  2. A snake in the toilet would be something to fear...just when you are most vunerable...a bite in the booty!! Ever since I saw Arachnaphobia like 15 years ago, I have a fear of a huge deadly poinsonous spider in the shower.

  3. I'm with Clara. Ever since Arachanphobia spiders in strange places that bite you unexpectedly and make you die is my irrational fear. I hated the scene with the spider in the toilet...didn't bite anyone, but still...
