Everyone is unique and has his or her own fears. It's fair that everyone is scared of something, and everyone has their reasons... but wow.
I feel really bad for admitting this, but I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I watched this clip. Maybe it's just how she shrieked and ran or something, I dunno, but pickles? Of all the things out there that are deadly and dangerous and could possibly mangle and maul her beyond recognition, she's afraid of pickles?
It's kind of interesting, because I never even knew such phobias existed. o_o
I don't mean to sound harsh, rather, I'm just trying to fathom how such a phobia came to be. What could a pickle possibly do to her, aside from the rare possibility of A: slipping on one and breaking her neck, or B: having one accidentally fall into her mouth and choking her. It's just a cucumber soaked in brine. o_O Again, I stress that a lot of us have irrational fears, but again, wow.
I think she needs to see Dr. Scratchnsniff (sp?).
"A pickle is my friend. A pickle vill not bite me und throw me in ze basement."
"They shouldn’t have called it Earth, they should have just called it the wipe-your-own-butt planet."
No way man, I bet god is laughing at them too. If I was god I'd come down to earth just to laugh at these people. I mean come on, being afraid of a food, when you don't even have to eat them. Especially besides being phallic, the only other things pickles have is maybe the smell. I think this is because we're being way to soft on people and instead of telling them their stupid for being afraid of a pickle we make up a new phobia for it. Either get over it or stay away from pickles and me. So unless she was beated to near death with a pickle, or had something else done to her with one that would traumatize her, I have no pity for her. The craziest thing is if you had this experience why in the hell would you ever want to go on national television and talk about it, you know instead of going to a therapist who doen't tell anyone (except their colleagues). You know Maury was having a hard time keeping a straight face during this episode.
Man I'm still laughing. I would have never concieved it would be possible to be afraid of condiments "Oh god the ketchups going to kill me. Look at the texture of that thing, who wouldn't cower at the site of it.". Reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with the rabbit.
Now, I can understand why she may be afraid of eating them, because I sure as hell don't like pickles, but just being afraid of looking at them is just too bizarre and kind of funny.
I love how they're doing THE EXACT OPPOSITE THING YOU SHOULD DO to cure someone of a phobia: show them a thousand of the things they hate all at once! And chase them around with trays full of it.
