There's a spider in your ear. That's just something NO ONE wants to hear, right? Well it happened:
A Missouri woman has gone viral with a before-and-after video of herself at a medical office. In the first part she just found out that there's something curled up inside her ear, and she's waiting for the nurses to flush it out.
In the second part she's in tears saying that it was a live spider, and she was so grossed out that she threw up. It crawled into her ear while she was sleeping.
So do you have a fear of spiders? I probably would if I heard "there's a spider in your ear" at the doctors office. Anyway - we found this list:
A new survey on America's top PHOBIAS found the top two are a fear of heights, and a fear of OTHER PEOPLE. "Social phobia" ranked second. It's another term for social anxiety.
They polled people in all 50 states. Here are the top phobias overall . . .
1. Acrophobia (akro-phobia) . . . the fear of heights. It's #1 in 20 different states.
2. Social phobia . . . the fear of social situations.
3. Arachnophobia . . . the fear of spiders.
4. Thanatophobia (than-uh-tuh-phobia) . . . the fear of death.
5. Trypanophobia (trip-an-uh-phobia) . . . the fear of needles.
6. Ophidiophobia (oh-fiddy-uh-phobia) . . . the fear of snakes.
7. Atychiphobia (uh-tick-uh-phobia) . . . an intense fear of failure.
8. Agoraphobia (uh-gore-uh-phobia) . . . the fear of open spaces. (It's #1 in New Mexico . . . and in America's smallest state, Rhode Island.)
9. Glossophobia (gloss-uh-phobia) . . . the fear of public speaking.
10. Trypophobia (trip-uh-phobia) . . . having "feelings of disgust or fear when you see patterns with lots of holes." (???) Like in honeycombs or sponges. It's supposedly the top fear in Hawaii and Idaho.
Claustrophobia . . . or the fear of tight spaces . . . only ranked first in one state, Mississippi.
And here's a list of phobias that aren't real - but should be:
Kelce-phobia: The fear your teammates on the Chiefs will mock your friendship bracelet.
Crap-o-phobia: The fear of going number two in a public restroom.
Snickerphobia: The fear of being trapped in a parking lot by a kid selling candy bars.
Britneyphobia: The fear of witnessing something horrific if you keep following Britney on Instagram.
Bone-a-phobia: The fear your neighbor will keep that giant tacky Halloween skeleton up in their front yard all year long.
Crunch-a-phobia: The fear of biting into gravel in your Trader Joe's product.
Post-a-phobia: The fear something you posted back when you were young, drunk, and stupid will come back to haunt you.
Fogeyphobia: The fear that the fate of our nation is in the hands of two crazy old men.
