Triskaidekaphobia refers to the fear of the number 13, often linked to superstitions. The discussion shifts to personal superstitions, with one participant sharing a peculiar pattern involving doctors they visit, where each doctor experiences significant upheaval shortly after their appointment. This has led to a mix of humor and anxiety about visiting medical professionals. The conversation then meanders through various anecdotes about superstitions, odd occurrences, and humorous exchanges about the unpredictability of life. Participants reflect on their experiences with superstitions and how they perceive the connection between their actions and outcomes, often with a light-hearted tone. The dialogue touches on the nature of superstitions, the randomness of events, and the quirks of human behavior, all while maintaining a playful atmosphere.

I didn't have any phobias til I read all this. Now I've got killer bees and catheterization while handcuffed to think about.
As far as superstions go, I'm Aquarius and we don't believe in stuff like that.

Then STAY OUT OF HOSPITALS! :biggrin: :biggrin:

So if triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13, what would they call a fear of being catheterized while handcuffed? Cathcuffkaphobia? :eek: :biggrin:

See, the trick here is to remember to just STAY in the mental health ward. It's not quite as scary as a hospital ER. :wink:

Yes, dear. But don't worry. We didn't use YOUR cuffs. They're still safe and sound in my purse. :wink: :biggrin:

Like I have a choice in the matter, but if they leave the ward door unlocked for 5 seconds I'm outta here. Then it's over the wall, hitch a ride on an ostrich, change my name back to I.B. Sane and I'm back on easy street with my pencil. Alphabet soup, pooop, howdy, howdy. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
