Ring, ring, ring, banana phone

Abstract:
I am afraid of bananas.

Believe me, I know how absurd this actually sounds - but the world's most convenient produce absolutely scares the hell out of me. The smell, the texture, the uncanny squishiness - the bottom line is that this fruit is putrid.

And so, I told a couple of friends....

First of all, let me say how sorry i am for you. I share your fear of bananas. They are absolutely disgusting. They look, feel, smell, and taste horrid. Like you, many of my friends think its funny to torture me with them. Thankfully they have never gone as far as they went with you, but I have had my share of bananas thrown at me, put in my purse, on my shoes, ect. My brother recently put one in my face and i left the dinner table crying. People really don't understand how much I dislike them. I don't like to look at them. If I smell one I'm likely to gag. If one gets clsoe to me I will start crying because I am that scared of them.

And so, i feel for you and I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Your fellow bananaphobiac..Sarah

Hi Ben, I too feel the same about bananas as yourself. Mine originated from a nightmare, which terrified me, i was aged 5 when it all began and i'm now 37, so i've lived with it for a long time. People also tease and play tricks on me, forinstance my brother put a whole bunch up his coat sleeve and dressed up like freddie crugger off nightmare on elm st, and on halloween he chased me around the house, that scared the whitts out of me. I can't even go down the fruit isle in the super market. Also fellow workers have done things, that have make me scream.

If that was me in that room when they threw all them bananas, you would've had to pick me up off the floor.

I don't think that joke was very funny, and your fellow workers should've been ashamed of themselves.

i was present and I'm seen in the film during this event, though I'm puzzled as to why this is a trending top comment story considering it was three years ago.
