Hmm.
Just recently got diagnosed with severe emetophobia (fear of vomiting)... one night when I was visiting my girlfriend we were lying in bed and her townie arsehole flatmate came home, slumped into his room, and spent the next SIX HOURS throwing up into the toilet, which happened to be on the other side of a paper-thin wall. I was physically shaking within 10 minutes, with my girlfriend trying to calm me down, after 30 minutes I was crying, and after an hour I had to go outside and walk the streets for a full hour. Of course when I got back I flipped out again because it was still going on. So I went out again. 20 Marlboros later I get back at 6 in the morning, kick his door in, and kick him repeatedly shouting "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!". He hasn't got drunk since, but I apparently now need counselling. Joy.

Edit: Forgot, this stems from having an alcoholic girlfriend in the past. I also as a result have a phobia of drunkenness, either in myself or others. Interestingly though when my close friends get drunk it's not a problem, until they start chucking up - then I run away.
