Rare Neurosis

What is it called when you have an irrational fear of dropping your cellphone into a storm drain as you walk past it?

I have that one. Every day that I go to work I walk past this storm drain and if my phone is in my hands I do a triple-check to make sure my fingers are adequately wrapped around it so that it doesn't pop out and fall into the dark abyss from whence it can not return. I know that it is irrational and wouldn't be an issue if I just put my phone in my pocket before I walked past the storm drain, but for some reason I have to carry my phone in my hand as I walk from the car to my office. Hmmm. Maybe I've said too much....

I'm sure none of you have any weird quirks. :P

I used to have a miniature dachshund. When I took her for walks, I used to worry that she would disappear down one of the storm drains :)

That's why I can never have a small dog. Stupid storm drains! The bane of my existence!

I swear, I need to write a story about the other world "Through the Storm Drains..." but I guess that's been done through The Raw Shark Texts. Excellent book, BTW.

I do the same thing with my car keys... I think you're totally normal! :)
