WHEN I WAS A CHILD I HAD A PHOBIA OF BROWN WOODEN TOILET SEATS, THE BIG LIGHT BROWN UNVARNISHED ONES WERE THE WORST, CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY THE DARK BROWN VARNISHED ONES. PUBLIC CONVENIENCES WERE A NIGHTMARE AS THEY ALL HAD THEM. MY MUM HAD TO COVER THEM UP WITH TOILET PAPER SO THAT I COULD NOT SEE THEM, IF I DID SEE ONE I WOULD GO HYSTERICAL. I AM NOW NEARLY 40 AND STILL HAVE MY PHOBIA, THANKFULLY THESE DAYS THERE ARE NOT SO MANY ABOUT!!
