You Have What?...

So I was looking for things to post about yesterday and came across a phobia site that was somewhat entertaining.

Looking through the list of phobias, I saw some that were totally ridiculous. Such as:

Cacophobia: Fear of ugliness. Well, if you had this phobia you totally wouldn't last here in my building because there are some ugly mothers wandering these halls...

Clinophobia: Fear of going to bed. Sounds like something made up for the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. This must be a hoax as it sounds completely ridiculous...

Liticaphobia: Fear of lawsuits. The actual paperwork or the idea of a lawsuit? Or the fact that money will be flying out of your account into a lawyers?...

Logophobia: Fear of words. 5 3785 5632 905 7538 257 75 32859?...

Plutophobia: Fear of wealth. Obviously something a Jewish person has never been afflicted with (I kid, I kid)...

Rhytiphobia: Fear of getting wrinkles. It's called vanity, hello. This affliction leads to the deadly Botoxaphobia, the fear of your dermatologist going on vacation around your next scheduled injection...

Sounds like people are trying to come up with diseases to account for being just plain crazy...
