Aimee Has An Irrational Fear Of Mayo
Whether it is childhood trauma, or just a great dislike of something, we all have that one thing (at least) that makes our blood curdle in fear. Today on Aimee+Shawn, we talked about irrational fears.
Now, Aimee and I have only been working together for a few weeks, but there are certain things I have learned right away. Her love of abbreviated words, Kim Kardashian and pettiness aside, I knew early on that Aimee absolutely despises mayo. Sure, some would just ask for them to omit the whipped egg and oil condiment from their sandwich, but just the mere mention of the gooey white stuff makes her wince. Before the show today, she said if someone put it on her, she would scream bloody murder.
No, I am not plotting ways to torture her. Yet. It’s too soon in our professional relationship.
But who am I to judge. I have irrational fears too. One is broken toe nails. OH MY GOD I don’t even want to think about them. When I was 3, I was running around, chasing my upstairs neighbor around the house when she tripped and fell. I heard her say “ow”. I looked. Her toenail had opened like a tab on a can.
That vision has seared into my brain for the last 35 years and will carry with me until I croak. My wife had something similar happen while running the San Francisco half-marathon and she was greatly offended when I wouldn’t take a peek. Nope. Sorry. I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.
My other childhood fear? Boy George. I don’t know why, but “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me” gave me the creeps as a kid.
What is your irrational fear?
