Do you have a phobia? What is it?

Spiders and drains.

The drains thing might sound weird, but I hate being near them, I refuse to touch them.. it’s just a thing. I don’t even really know what in particular makes me so “afraid” of them. I hate taking baths (for many reasons), and bubble baths especially, because I can’t see the drain, and I’m afraid my feet will get too close. Whenever I’m in a hot tub, I have to keep my feet off the floor. In the shower, I find myself constantly looking back at the drain (don’t know why!), and I never stand close to it. Even if I see a commercial/tv show/movie with someone in the shower, and I think for even a second that their feet are close to the drain, I get uncomfortable. Filters are also included in this category, and ironically, I swam on teams for ten years.

I’ve Googled this before, and while it seems like many people have the same fear, I can’t seem to find a name for it! If someone does, let me know
