you got that right .Just today I was watching a talk sports show and one of the men was so afraid of lightening he was just about having a panic attack ,the big jerk told him to stop acting like a baby well excuse me but that didnt set to well with me and his so called friend was laughing at him to,I hate it when someone laughs at some ones fears I have had that happen to me just a little while ago ,I was so embarrassed I wanted to go and crawl in a hole.I don't care how strange some ones fears may be you dont go and laugh at them or tell them they are stupid.I just dont like loud noises in my apt ,It is very annoying to say the least and when you have to listen to that big noise my hot water heater every single day it can drive you crazy I live in elderly housing I wanted to have it shut off they said I couldn't do that,but now I am okay because I just use my headphones and listen to the radio for 13 minutes not all of the time like today it wasnt to bad .so I sat right through it but to laugh at my fear is inexcusable ….
