aren’t heavy enough, the Planet Dolan Crew

our subreddit about the most irrational fears
people have.

Honeybits
When Honeybits was younger, there was a fire
hydrant on her street that somebody painted
to look like a really creepy devil, with a
doodle.
Honeybits’ sister noticed that she was scared
of it, so she told a story about how some
nights the hydrant opens, and ghosts, devils,
and other monsters would come out of it to
kill people.
So Honeybits spent the first 10 years of her
life being scared of a fire hydrant.
Eventually, her sister realized she’d gone
too far, and told Honeybits that she lied
about everything.

Spincess has a really big fear of light bathroom
doors.
Whenever she needs to go to a public restroom,
she first tests the door to make sure that
it's not too light, and then she pushes open
the door.
She sometimes forgets to check first, and
when she pushes the door open, she falls right
through, because she was prepared for a heavy
door that she would need to lean on, not a
door that can be opened by a light breeze.
Number 8 was Submitted by Kaia_123 Gooby
Gooby has a weird fear of napkins and dry
hands.
She can't touch napkins, unless they’re
wet napkins.
If anyone uses napkins or rubs their dry hands
and Gooby hears the sound of it, she starts
to have a panic attack.
Gooby has had it since forever, and she has
to put lotion on a LOT to avoid the terrible
feeling of dry hands.
Number 7 was Submitted by Elk810 Nixxiom
Nixxiom secretly has a fear of his own potential
to do bad things.
Nixxiom thinks of himself as generally a good
person who always tries to be helpful, and
never wants to hurt anyone.
But sometimes, he’s afraid he could eventually
snap and just kill someone, without even . He
keeps thinking one tiny little push could
send him into darkness.
But Nixxiom also believes that fear is proof
that he still has a conscience, so hopefully
that will keep him from the dark side.

Ham
The most irrational fear Slapped Ham has is
huge open ceilings, like those in an auditorium,
gymnasium or concert hall.
When he walks in and look up, he sees that
there are no walls or support structures visible.
Without those structures visible, Slapped
Ham always feels like the ceiling is going
to collapse in on top of him.

Melissa
Ever since she was little, Melissa has been
terrified of used tissues.
It physically makes her feel sick to see them,
and she will shriek if she touches one, no
matter who uses them or what they’re used
for.
Her fear started when she was 7.
Melissa and her family went to the zoo, and
she wore a brand-new coat with a hood, which
she loved.
On the bus to the zoo, Melissa heard her dad
shout, “What the HELL?!”
That’s when Melissa realized the guy sitting
behind her had been at least a dozen of his
snot-covered tissues into the hood of her
coat.
They quickly got the tissues out, but Melissa
was already traumatized at the thought of
some random freak’s snot being inside her
coat.
For the next 7 hours, Melissa was stuck in
London, wearing what felt to her like a coat
made out of snot.
14 years later, Melissa still can't blow her
own nose.
Number 4 was Submitted by swagger224 Legna
When Legna was in 6th grade, he had an irrational
fear of bread.
Legna had some bad experiences with moldy
bread in the past, and it freaked him out.
As a result, Legna never brought a sandwich
for lunch that year.
It got so bad, for a little while he had to
wear a blindfold to lunch so he wouldn't have
to look at other people's sandwiches
Number 3 was Submitted by Laila-Chan Ramona
When Ramona was about 8 years old, she had
a fear of strawberries.
She doesn’t know why, but she always feared
them because the seeds were on the outside.
So she thought that if she ate them, the little
seeds would launch out of the strawberry and
plant in her mouth.
Ramona thought about how painful it would
be to have a strawberry plant growing in her
mouth, and since the seeds were so small,
she would never be able to get them out.
After a lot of convincing, Ramona’s mom
got her to try them, and now they're Ramona’s
2nd favorite fruit.
Number 2 was Submitted by Kibishi_shi Robo
Robo’s irrational fear is not getting in
bed and under her blanket in three seconds.
Ever since she can remember, Robo played a
little game she made up called “bed time.”
This game has brought a fear to her very soul.
The game is that when she’s about to go
to bed, she has to close her eyes, say "bed
time," and turn off the lights.
Then she must be in bed with her blanket over
her entire body in a matter of three seconds.
Then, she must close her eyes immediately
and count to three.
Then, and only then, is she “safe.”
After that, she can do whatever she wants.
The two biggest rules are what make the game
terrifying.
First, once you’ve played once, you are
not allowed to stop.
Second, you can't fail or “it” will come
for you, even if you’re under the blanket.
To this day, Robo hasn't failed, so she doesn’t
know what “it” is, but she doesn’t want
to find out.
