Irrational Fears

So I have some totally ridiculous irrational fears. To overcome such things, one should confess them right? So here goes. Please do not take this as an invitation to harass me with any of these though. I will be sad.
Irrational fear numero uno...escalators. They semi-terrify me. Probably for a whole number of reasons. First of all, my mother is a worst case scenario person at all times. So she frequently would let me know that things could get caught in there and pull your clothes off, or your hair, or worse your limbs. Secondly, I had a horrific experience one time when I was little and riding the escalator with my grandma. We were going up the escalator and I cannot recall exactly how it happened, perhaps hesitation and never having gotten on the escalator by myself. I'm pretty sure my grandma wasn't aware of this fact as she went up first and somehow I ended up riding the escalator on my back, feet first with them pointing towards the ceiling of the second floor. To add insult to injury, there was a little boy and his mom behind me and they were definitely talking and laughing at me. Where was my rescue party you ask? Who the heck knows. I cannot remember anyone helping me. Thanks G-ma. Third, in high school while running up the escalator to the store my friend worked in, I tripped and cut my knee pretty badly. I subsequently bled all over the store he worked at. Awesome.
Irrational fear numero dos...balloons. Particularly near my face. This doesn't have any cool story behind why I'm terrified of these. I just really don't like when they pop anywhere around my face. It's awful. I think possibly the anticipation of them popping is worse than anything but I hate it.
Numero tres...someone being in my shower. This is not even like a freaky person lurking in my shower waiting to kill me. It's a fear of people playing a trick on me and waiting in the shower. Either one actually. Haha, writing that down makes me chuckle. Who am I?
Ok, I think that's enough confessing for one blog post. That's too much fuel for everyone's fire.
