Spiders used in advertising.
I'm not afraid of spiders but a lot of people are, so when I see one it makes me angry.

Not on behalf of arachnophobes - they can stick up for themselves, or run off, I don't care - but because the advertisers are being so darned stupid.

As arachnophobia is one of the two commonest fears, any product that's advertised with spidery imagery is going to repulse arachnophobes. So you can't sell that product to that quite large group of people. Seems pretty obvious to me.

(I have just one true phobia. When it was shown in my favourite TV series years ago I stopped watching there and then and have never seen it since, just in case. No, it wasn't a spider. I like spiders.)

Is it a fear of waking up in the shower to find it had all been a dream?
