[Rain Man]

I have a number of legitimate fears, but probably my least rational one is having my house catch on fire because stuff is too close to an outlet. It really bothers me if a curtain is too close to an outlet, or if my wife puts a newspaper or magazine or other fodder near an outlet.

I also have a somewhat irrational fear of germs and diseases. If someone has a cold I will not go within six feet of them if at all possible, and I'm always concerned that someone is going to cough on me and give my syphilis or typhoid or something.
