Is it normal to have strange fears?

I'm pretty sure it's not normal to have my specific fears (hot tubs, cars- convertibles mostly, and feet) but is it normal for people to be afraid of strange things? Do you have any fears that aren't normal?

    Cow, yep, it's not irrational, I had a bad experience when I was at my grandpas dairy farm when I was little, now at fairs I don't go in the cow barns unless it's necessary, like to get a sister or something, but it get all itchy and I start to have a panic attack.....sad and weird also am slightly wary of lizards, they just seem like their about to bit you, like ALL the time.

    Cars is a first, hot tubs depends but sometimes those things break and you can get stuck in one and drown, its happened a few times. So i can understand a fear of that. And a fear of feet is normal i know many people that Hate feet lol. This one friend of mine id always go over to her house and whenever id go over she'd run in her room and get socks on cause she didnt want me seeing them or something but she was always grossed out with her feet even though they're pretty nice. Id always tease her and play with her feet and try to take her socks off just to see her funny reactions lol :P

    I have a fear that's probably completely irrational and it's a fear of pool drains. I heard a few stories when I was younger about some people drowning or being fatally injured by pool drains. So, yeah, I tend to freak out a little when I think I'm getting too close to one....

    There are some really hilarious fears sorry for the people that have them just its funny that you can actually have a phobia of something like breathing...

  • The vast majority of phobias are irrational, I've even heard of papaphobia AKA fear of the Pope. And yes, I have one but it's not completely irrational.
