Scottish Man Frog Horror Shocker
Actually, this isn't about me but one of my sister's numerous boyfriends - Mark. A nice guy, one of the lads and whilst being Scottish - you really couldn't hold that against him.

However, this bloke had an irrational fear of frogs (the amphibians rather than the garlic munchers) that simply could not be explained. I found this out one day when I went round to help out cleaning this kind of ditch / pond thing at the bottom of their garden. About a plunge the spade into festering depths of this ditch - a little frog jumped into the spot where the spade was about to land and I duly picked up the little fella. I walked over to Mark to show him my little find when all of a sudden he let out a blood curdling scream and ran into the house screaming 'that fucker's got teeth'

The frog and myself shared a WTF look at each other before going off in our different directions.

Basically, he believe(s)(d) that frogs have teeth and are potential man-eaters - or more specifically they are all after him. (You're thinking I'm making this up - aren't you? Trust me - this is real). As a joke one day (as you do) I bought a reasonably realistic plastic frog and left it in the lounge one day and forgot about it - my sister came home to find Mark in a right state (apparently he was hyper-ventilating). Even frogs on telly would cause him to leave the room.

Just thought I'll share that - Drydo
