I'm not afraid of bathtub drains or sink drains either... just pool drains
Just seeing a picture of one is enough to make me scream. It's the scariest thing on earth to me.
I was wondering if anyone else has this phobia?
Thank god all I have to do is avoid swimming pools. But sometimes, I think of the drains. And it makes me scream inside!  |
I hate them too, for as long as I can remember. One drain (filter??) was 6 feet by 2 ft., and it made a sinister humming sound. I tried everything to get over the fear- even by swimming next to them. The only kind I can take are the above ground filters and drains. Also, I hate toilets, especially ones that are filthy or are overflowing. I have weekly dreams! Ick. Overall I think it's a legit fear! I love insects, I have a master's in Entomology. Parasites are fine, creepy slimy creatures are o-kay. But pool drains (lights too, or any weird thing on pool walls) are the WORST.
