They aren’t phobias as such, nor are they an irrational fear which governs how we live our lives, but more like a vague discomfort over a specific thing which tends to surface every now and again.
And over the last few days, Jimmy Fallon has been keen to hear all about them.
It's Hashtags time! In honor of Shark Week, tweet out a funny, weird, or embarrassing fear that you have and tag it with #MyWeirdFear. Could be on the show!
Twitter users have been responding in their droves, and naturally it has made many of us feel a lot less peculiar about our own little foibles.
Full disclosure: I have a fear of being sucked into airplane toilets.
Anyhoo, let’s not dwell on that, and instead focus on the goods offered up by the kindly folk on the internet superhighway.
Here are just a few responses which will either speak to you on a spiritual level or put your own ‘weird fear’ in perspective.
1. It doesn’t help when you’ve a mother like this.
Five years ago I got a concussion. Since then, I've feared that my subconscious continued to play out my life and in reality, I'm stuck in a coma. After sharing this fear with my mom, she started whispering "wake up" in the middle of normal conversation to scare me. #MyWeirdFear
I never shower while it’s storming outside because I’m afraid lightning will strike my house, hit the shower head and electrocute me. And then I’ll die naked in the shower. #MyWeirdFear
If I ever get pulled over, I always start panicking that there might be drugs in the car. I have never used illegal drugs. But what if I am the one guy who truthfully says “That’s not mine” and they don’t believe me?! #MyWeirdFear
Whenever I would walk past a sewer, I would hold my phone so tight so I don’t drop it even though I’m walking on the other side of the street #MyWeirdFear

6. The urge is all-consuming.
I'm always afraid I will open the emergency exit door on the plane while we are flying. I either don't sit in that aisle or I continually think, " don't touch that". #MyWeirdFear
7. Don’t pretend this thought hasn’t flashed through your mind.
Whenever I try on clothes in a dressing room at a store, I always have this fleeting thought that there's a hidden camera somewhere recording me undressing that they then later upload online 😂🤦 #MyWeirdFear
12. Handy hint: don’t throw balls of hair out your car window.
#MyWeirdFear is that if I clean my hairbrush out and throw hair out of my car window, there will be a horrific crime commited there and the only evidence they will find is a huge clump of my DNA and I will be blamed and spend rest of my life in prison.

15 'weird fears' which are absolutely guaranteed to put yours in perspective
THE VAST MAJORITY of us have a ‘weird fear’.
They aren’t phobias as such, nor are they an irrational fear which governs how we live our lives, but more like a vague discomfort over a specific thing which tends to surface every now and again.
