A couple of years ago, I filled my boss office with balloons. Probably 300 of them and the best part was he had a fobia of balloons and couldn't work all day in the office 😉

How can someone be afraid of balloons or (non-killer) clowns ? #thingsiwillneverunderstand

I'm afraid of roots. Like roots of plants, you can make me cry with them.

@DjSall So... not a Linux or data structures guy?

I said it in my comments, roots of plants/trees.

@DjSall if you are serious, why ? How come ?

Or do you mean something like onions ? Lol

@thecritic I honestly don't know how and why.

@thecritic well the root of the onion works too.

@DjSall onions,potatoes,carrots.. All roots :)

@DjSall you are either trolling or seriously disturbed lol

@DjSall That and taking comments too seriously. Didn't want to offend you though, sorry about that. So, seriously what's so frightening about roots ? It's just the most bizzare fear I have ever heard really and I'd like to know more.

@thecritic I can't comprehend it either, there is nothing scary. But it just happens lol.

What's the reaction like ? Is it "Holy shit there's a root right there" and having to leave the room asap ? Or is it a lesser form of fear ?

@thecritic it is a lesser form of fear, but if you come too close with it i'll try to keep my distance.
