    About this ebook

    Are you worried sick? If not, maybe you should be. Because a pair of drawstring sweatpants could bring about your most embarrassing moment. And a toothpick in your sandwich can be the deadliest of weapons. Including hundreds of bizarre-but-true things that can get you, this compact volume will induce nervous page flipping and make even the most snug and secure folks bona fide paranoiacs. Chilling black and white photographs document the everyday items that menace your safety. But whether it's archibutyrophobia (the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth) or phobophobia (the fear of fear itself) that eventually gets you, don't be afraid to buy this book. You never know what might happen to you if you don't.

      Last week, I had an argument with a stranger over dog poo. I’m a fan of the stick and flick strategy (we were in woods, not on a pavement), and she laid into me for not picking it up with a poo bag. Heated words were exchanged about nature versus pla

      From the "There are so many marvelous things to obsess over- loss of privacy, new diseases, technological dangers... -it's hard to now where to begin. So I've highlighted sections to help you worry more efficiently: fears about work, home, food, airplanes..." Along the bottom of most pages runs fears written into the author (e.g. my neighbours will see my recycling and think I am an alcoholic). A short, light read. Includes short paragraphs about various things that can go wrong (e.g. over 30,000 people per year are seriously injured by exercise equipment). This book was decent fun, but superficial. If I am going to invest time and effort into worrying, I need more details than that! :P
