The human mind is a strange thing...
Here are 10 of the weirdest phobias:
1- Ablutophobia:
This is the fear of taking a bath or cleaning yourself
2-Ergophobia:
The fear of the workplace or workplace environment (how convenient!)
3- Nomophobia:
The fear of not having service. (First world problems)
4- Chaetophobia:
The fear of loose or detached hair. Some may even be terrified of the hair on their very own bodies!
5- Haphephobia:
The fear of being touched
6- Oikophobia:
This is a funny one.. the fear of appliances (toaster, oven, refrigerator, etc)
7- Aibohphobia:
the fear of palindromes, (words spelled the same both forward and backwards) This is yet another made up phobia in the 1980's.
8- Neophobia:
Generally found in the elderly, this is the fear of anything new. Its milder form is unwillingness to part with old habits.
9- Hylophobia:
The irrational fear of wood, forests, and trees, and as with most of the phobias on this list it is often the result of some long forgotten traumatic experience such as being beaten with a piece of wood or attacked in a forest.
10- Trypophobia:
Fear of clustered holes. If this pic gives you the chills, you may fall under this category!

My co worker legitimately has trypophobia. I, of course, had to show her the holy picture and the response was great! Phobias really are quite fascinating.
Hahaha thats pretty funny. They really are fascinating!
