Fear of... what?!

Last night I was DD. My two friends in the car, for some reason, starting talking about cotton. And by cotton I mean like cotton balls, q-tips, anything with bare cotton on it. They got to discussing how much they hate it and how they can't stand it. Funny guys, I thought, as I suspected they were putting me on. But they continued on with a serious tone, even going to say that people at their work taunt them by putting cotton balls on their keyboards to freak them out. They were serious... they actually have a real fear of cotton! I looked up the term for cotton phobia: Bambakophobia. Never would have imagined such a thing.

My internet search also produced a video of Maury Povich practically taunting a woman with bambakophobia... wow
