My irrational fear comes when I am getting a haircut, I sometimes keep thinking that at any second the barber will rear back, and slam his scissors through the side of my neck until it comes out the other side.

i almost had that happen to me. barber tripped but managed to put scissors in a verticle position. so instead of getting the pointed edge to the head I got a nice jab from the fingerhole part. dammit, I totally forgot about that. now I can't get a haircut for another year. damn. its a rational fear. your neck is doomed.

I am paranoid and have a number of irrational fears. The one that people seem to get the biggest kick out of is my fear of telephones. It's pretty extreme. If I'm home alone, the ringers all get turned off. My heart rate goes up if I hear a telephone. Even cell phones do it, and this has lead to some awkward personal situations.

Somedays it's worse than others, but there's always a bit of suspicion in the back of my mind. I hate stupid phones.

Yeah, but my fear is that he will do it on purpose, and then take his razor and give me a red smile to top it off.

Needles. I get a bit nervous when people around me have sharp object in their hands, but I just can't stand hypodermic needles. I get panicky whenever the Red cross holds a blood drive near me, I hate going to hospitals,andI*especillly* can't stand those steel syringes that dentists seem to love.
