I can appreciate arachnopoobia......because I am, myself a coulrophobe. My other half is a major arachnophobe so we have an arrangement - we each agree to immediately put a glass over each other's respective phobic triggers and take them outside. It's easier getting a glass over a spider than a clown... so I think I got off easier :)

One of my friendsIs a professional clown, and I went to his Big Gay Wedding a few years back. He was sensitive enough to make sure there was nothing scary around - but a lot of his mates were in that line of work. I think it wa Barry that said to me "I hear that you don't like clowns?" and my response was "I don't dislike clowns - I fear them."

They're just depressed men in make up and baggy trousers.

Yeah, well, they get ritually executed by the state if they don't meet their quota of laughs per show.

That's why it's a phobia......because I know that rationally, I could kick their arse and the worst they could do to me would be stealing my credit card numbers. But My fear goes back to a childhood event.

I just wondered if you thought they were going to do a particulare thing to you....Like the reasons I have for being scarred of spiders .....I know they are incapable of doing these things to me....
such as... do you fear clowns are going to kidnap you or bite you or something in particulare....
