Rancho Anxiety

17. Fear that a stranger will hide a dead body in the trunk of your car.

18. Fear that you have run someone over with your car even though it was just a pebble.

19. Fear that your policy that, when at work, it is best to use a plastic knife for buttering is wasteful.

20. Fear that your frequent use of slang will be wrongly traced to your habit of reading the slang dictionary, even though they are not related.

21. Fear that the girl who asked for a copy of your speech seven years ago was making fun of you.

22. Fear of having frequently humiliated yourself as a child by being loud and boastful and appalling.

23. Fear that in October, when you stopped suddenly to avoid hitting a deer and your bag fell on the floor of the car, it was contaminated by mouse droppings from the previous winter.

24. Fear that something tiny but important has fallen on the floor.

25. Fear that children find you condescending and transparently desperate to please.
