Hair..
To be more precise.. Hair that's not on your head anymore. Generally hair that's gathered in the shower sink hole, and it comes 300 times worse if said hair is wet and/or still a bit shampooey..

OOO christ it makes me retch. Amusingly enough I live with my fiance who has short hair, so all the hair that makes me retch is actually mine. I can't even pick it up long enough to throw it in the toilet bowl. So I, as a result, cannot clean the bathroom. Clever one! I hear you cry, but unfortunately said fiance saw the opportunity to win there and used my phobia against me. So he cleans the bathroom and the rest of the house is my responsibility :(

Fair I guess :p


And on a side note, related somewhat to the hair thing. I also have a much milder phobia of chest hair, male chest hair. For some reason, when snuggling up in bed I'm always a bit scared it's going to leap down my throat and choke me to death.. O.o

I lead a strange and terrified existance..

Maybe
you once watched "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" while baring your chest to the TV, and then it got ideas about floating through the air into your nostrils & such.
In fact, I'd be more concerned about the person in bed next to you. Just try and sleep with chest pointing away from them.

I'm not the only one then.
I have long hair and it always got stuck in the plug hole, made me freak out.
Try this,
Take a brush to it before you shower, it gets rid of the majority of the dead hairs while they are still nice and dry.
Then you can gleefully take a vaccum cleaner to them (had one sitting in the corner of the room all the time, not OCD atall, honest) and stand victorious over those foliceled nightmares.

ooo
a solution! I will try :D thanks. I find I CAN pick up the hairs to throw them in the toilet if I unwind half a roll of kitchen towel and use that to pick the hair up with. Still get little retches though.. Hopeless!

It's not the fact that it's hair, per se
it's what kind of hair it is...

Urgh, yes.
I used to live in a shared student house with three other girls, and all of us have long hair, especially Rhylie and her extensions; cleaning the bathroom used to make me gip constantly :(
