Join me all of you who suffer from this affliction. Let us stand up to our disease and face it. Even if the world condemns us for it, let us come 'out' and declare that, yes, I am irrationiotechnophobic ! (There ! Doesn't it feel lighter once you admit it? Admitting is the first step to curing it !)
I am terribly scared of revolving doors. I know that I will get stuck in it and keep revolving with the door till eternity's end !
Multiplex visits invariably make me nervous. Yes, you guessed it right...the escalators ! Many many blue moons ago we went to this new multiplex. The escalator was working and the staircase was closed (!) and so we had to use the escalator. The moment I saw it, I just simply stopped in my tracks and told my friends that they could go and see the movie, I wasn't interested in watching it. My friends, being my friends, were smart enough to put their finger on the problem right away. They had to coax and cajole and even threaten me. But I absolutely didn't budge. Then 2 of them took me by the arms and literally dragged me on it. Getting off wasn't much of a problem...I didn't have a choice anyways...the escalator pretty much threw me off itself ! All techno things hate me ! :(
Another thing that really scares the hell out of me is the prison-elevator. Yes, yes, the very same thing through which you cannot see outside. Each time I enter one, I feel that, once the door shuts, it will just keep going up and up and never stop.
But recently, three days ago, to be precise, I did the unthinkable ! I actually went through a revolving door !! Yes, I did. I'd been to a five-star hotel with my colleague to confirm room booking for our foreign guests. They had this revolving door. While walking in I walked in through the regular door as usual. While walking out however, my colleague walked straight into the revolving door. I was walking close behind her. So I too quickly joined her in there, thinking that if I did have to revolve with the door till eternity's end, at least I'll have good company. But, a miracle occured ! Very smoothly, she walked out of it on the other side, and, with her, so did I !!! I feel like a new person ! I can do it !
My confidence has soared since this incident ! My next adventure is going to be at the multiplex this Sunday and I am going to try the escalator ! So, wish me luck ye all ! And all those who suffer from these and such afflictions, my only advice to you is, 'just do it' ! :)

was blog-hopping and landed up on your blog and this post...
escalators freak me out too. after many months i have finally started taking the ones going up (not much of a choice with all these multiplexes and malls) but i still don't take the ones going down.
elevators are whole different deal. i find the transparent capsule ones the most scary. i try and focus on the one solid opaque surface..the floor!
anyway...just glad to find that i am not alone...
