Koumpounophobia - fear of buttons
#1: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Dec 28, 2019
I did not know that had a name!#2: Steve (stevieb) on Dec 29, 2019
Buttons?!#3: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Dec 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
from the image, I couldn't figure out who would have a fear of Ritz crackers, but buttons seems just as unlikely a thing to fear#4: sanane samanye (maceraseven) on Dec 29, 2019
It's a very common phobia#5: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Dec 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
Zip it.#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
I can't imagine being afraid of buttons. Maybe a fear of buttonING, or of losing a button, but the items themselves?#7: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Dec 30, 2019
But what do I know? https://www.fearof.net/fear-of-buttons-phobia-koumpounophobia/
Another very odd one. Now zippers...#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 30, 2019
Interesting. I thought it might be fear of bowling balls with extra holes. (✬‿✬)#9: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Dec 30, 2019
Fear of zippers, Brian? Must be a man thing. (✬‿✬)
Now I know what tonight's nightmare is going to be.#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Mar 16, 2020 [SPOILER]
My wife of 35 years just admitted this one to me this past year. It's not really a pure phobia for her -- more of a repulsion.#11: Dave Widener (bartfish) on Jul 19, 2022
I wonder if it is related to trypophobia - a fear of groups of holes. This one is a pretty basic repulsion for most people. Have a look at these images if you dare:

How 'bout fear of old school comedians like Red Buttons?
