Cruise ships - I really don't understand how they float. (I do actually understand the physics of it…my brain just refuses to accept it) They just seem so top heavy and there are all those people dancing around on them and what if everyone does the conga at the same time and the whole boat just tips to one side?! Plus, they are really, really tall. I'm not afraid of heights when I’m up high, I just sorta fall over when I look up at tall things.
Black eyed peas - When I was little, my brother told me that black eyed peas where actually eyes. I had a vivid imagination even then and I invented a story where they were the eyes of dwarfs that had been captured by monsters and had their eyes poked out. The dwarfs were still alive and searching for their eyes and if you ate the peas the dwarfs would see it and find you in the night and rip out your stomach to get to them. Not only have I never eaten a black eyed pea since, I have this insane thing where I automatically try and block the line of sight between me and the peas when they are on the table.
Model trains - I don't know why, but they creep me out. Maybe it's the noise, maybe it's the movement, maybe it's the tiny plastic conductors with their creepy painted-on smile. My brother had a whole setup in the basement one year after Christmas and I ended up hiding by the stairs and trying to think of my happy place. Which is usually a place where all the model trains were stepped on by Godzilla. Godzilla makes everything better.
