Dutchphobia- Fear of the Dutch... WHAT? How is that even possible? I mean, the fact that I don't understand this AT ALL of course has to do with the fact that I'm Dutch myself but even if it were 'fear of the French' or something, HOW the *lalala* can you be afraid of just one nation? This is weird.

Oh well, I'm afraid of hights, (REALLY) afraid of falling and I've escalator phobia... Really annoying, especially when people laugh at you about it or when you have to get out of the central station but there's NO way out but the escalator... Once a conductor had to get me downstairs...
