I have two irrational fears: public bathrooms and crosswalks. Anyone who has taken a college-level biology course will mostly understand my fear of public toilets and the recurring unsettling dreams I have involving hellaciously decrepit restrooms. The crosswalk weirdness only ever gets me blinking frowns and silence when I try to explain, so never you mind about that one.
