my friend b
is pretty odd. wonderful. but pretty odd. and has lots of phobias (daffodils???). but her oddest is probably brushes.

thats right brushes

all shapes all sizes from tooth brushes to all the way up road sweepers.

she has made me buy her a tooth brush before as she cant stand to see lots of them all at once. she has to brush her teeth with her eyes closed. she will cross the road if she sees a man brushing the road. she lives in mortal fear of road sweepers. even talking to her about brushes sets her off. she wont watch basil brush as she doesnt like the association to the word and even that might make her sick. its hilarious.

she also has a fear of pigeons (in fact pecking birds in general) once walking down the road with her she saw a few pigeons on the pavement in front of her so ran across the road to where a man was sweeping the road (a pigeon/brush pincer movement if you will) she instinctively ran away from the brush into the pigeons who flew up all around her. she screamed in panic. i cried with laughter.

i am going to carry out a test on her right now. i will email her a photo of a brush but name the file kitten.jpg. ill post back here with the response.
