This is why god gave up on us
/discuss other stupid phobias

That has to be worse than fear of being observed by ducks

Imagine that stuff is happening but your not wearing your socks so everything is alright and you can go back to chilling

or realizing you're running around what's technically a coffee table, so everything's alright

The term was coined by a humor comic "Far Side". It's basically satire of absurdly situational irrational fears that have equally absurd names.



i think i might have this

Luposlipaphobia is a part of the fictional and humorous phobia family, and it is described as the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor. Gary Larson created this term for his popular comic The Far Side. It is a clever play on words, and seems to mock itself, but it isn’t a real psychiatric problem that needs attention. Humorous and fictional phobias are intended purely for entertainment, and can sometimes be a commentary on the idea that “anything can be a phobia.” Of course, we know that many phobias are very serious and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
