Do you guys have any phobias of any kind?
I'm deathly afraid of cockroaches, to the point of tears and yelling, running etc.. I just had one brush up against my foot a few hours ago and I made someone else go and kill it. I ended up getting angry at said person for playing around with it's body while it was stunned from the shoe...
I can remember a few times where I jumped up on furniture and I could feel my heart beating so fast...
This very last time, this cockroach was right next to my HHKB...
Why can't cockroaches just leave me alone...
I have Trypophobia.
Like Really bad trypophobia.
It's classified as a fear of holes.
but, they have to be a certain type. like for example..... holes on a sponge, holes from a cut bark of a tree. they also, mostly, have to be organic to trigger it. when it does, my body just goes in this weird shock like I feel it deep in my bones or something. oh, there's another one a cross section of bones where the marrow is.
If you are not familiar with this. a simple google search (worst mistake of my life) will show you.

Then why do you spend so much time on GeekHack?
It's a massive cluster of A-holes.
Do you guys have any phobias of any kind?Let me make you even more paranoid! This is your warning to stop reading.

About 3 years ago, I was on my computer minding my own business with my foot resting against the wall. I suddenly felt a little tickle up my leg but I thought it was just my leg hair rubbing against my sweatpants. A few moments later, I felt it again a bit further up.. that's when I knew. I got out of my chair so fast and literally started beating the **** out of my leg to kill the cockroach LOL. A few beatings later and the dead cockroach falls out my pant leg. The only thing worse than a live cockroach is the smell of a dead cockroach, ugh. Mind you, this wasn't your teeny 1 inch roach. The suckers we have here are maybe 2-3 inches and they FLY. THEY ****ING FLY.
Anyway, after that whole ordeal I was fine but I had to take a shower because it the thought of roach guts flying around my leg disgusted me so much.
Come night time, I'm relaxing again, foot on wall again, and again I felt that familiar tickle. "No. ****ing. Way", I thought. **** ME THERE'S ANOTHER ****ING GIANT COCKROACH CRAWLING UP MY LEG AGAIN. This time I take off my pants and start stomping on that **** for like 5 minutes straight. I get my sweatpants and shake them out and, lo and behold, another giant cockroach falls out.
I no longer rest my feet on the walls.
I think giant roaches are just karma for the "everything's bigger in Texas" bs, right? :))
I'm scared of girls. Can't talk to them. Can't look at them.

They got giant roaches in India and China too..
Anywhere that's hot and humid.... you got roaches..

speaking of trypophobia, my gf got a second hand iphone 5C over the weekend. it came with a protective case, specifically one of these ones (http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/09/iphone5c_backs-cases_print-100053394-large.png) (warning: possible trigger i guess)
she said that the holes made her extremely uncomfortable. even when they aren't visible, she can feel them on the back
so she's using her old phone until she gets another case
why not just take off the case..

i live in constant fear that my desk chair will break in such a way that the gas cylinder underneath will propel the adjustable metal shaft upwards with all the force of its compressed air, explosively penetrating both the seat of the chair and myself
we have a place in the woods were we spend alot of time in during summer, When i wake up in the middle of the night and need to pee i either have to walk outside to another house to reach the toilet or pee outside.
I wouldn't call it a phobia, but every time i stand outside peeing in the middle of the night, i always think there is a deer in the bushes which willl jump out and stab me in the stomach with its antlers. Then i die with my <nasty word> in my hand :p
And to be clear, its fregging pitch black every time. and its not stopping me from peeing where i want. Its just me who has vivid imagination :)

damn nmur, I share the same fear as you... especially after I saw there are incidents in China where there are people got injured in their rear due to those exploding seat's shaft....

But... But...
I don't see how this could happen..
there's usually a metal plate in the way, then the chair plate (usually wood),
I just don't see how the cylinder explosion can get through all of that..
It would have to be a chair with no metal plate and no base plate..
I think this might be tabloid news..
Damn, no more mythbusters..
I fcking hate wasps so much. Possibly because when I was 2ish I got a whole wasp nest mad at me after I thought it was a good idea to throw a rock at it. Kinda scarred me for life, and despite being not being afraid of much else, I run like a puss every time I see a wasp nest.I agree. Wasps are ****s!!

the real worry is low quality chairs though. there's a couple around the office that people insist on sitting on
what's the name for the phobia of having your Clack dirtied by pens or oily fingers? There must be a name, surely..

I think you can find external HDD as backup solution pretty easily as they are widely available and are much inexpensive compared to NAS or other backup solutions... as for the chair... well....
It's ok guys...
If we All use a Standing desk for 8 hours a day..
Then that reduces the risk of Steel Penetration by ~33%...

What I meant was backup parts of everything. For me to feel safe I would need to have a spare UPS, HDD, SSD, CPU, GPU, motherboard, PSU, etc. But seriously, exploding chair is just way scarier imo
Larger bugs are disgusting but they don't strike fear in me. Also, you can chase them away or crush them.
I have a much bigger problem with a multitude of smaller bugs that I can't reasonably get away from.
PS - when I lived in Florida we had huge cockroach-like creatures that were known as "palmetto bugs"

TIL palmetto bugs are actually just large cockroaches. My grandparents have them at their house down in Florida and always complain about them.

Internet says the Roaches species among humans are not ecologically important..Roaches are disgusting, but otherwise not the worst in the world. Mosquitos are much worse. Annoying little ****ers! We have to BURN them all!
We can safely eradicate them..
Main hindrance to this is probably the bug spray chemicons who are unwilling to let their bread lay un-buttered..
