#19: Yellow Tennis Balls
Most people have at least one sport they don’t care to watch. For actor Elliott Page, that game is tennis. But he doesn’t dislike tennis for any reason having to do with the game itself. He has no problem with the game; it’s the balls the players use. That’s right- Elliott is deeply disgusted by tennis balls.
For some reason that even he can’t pinpoint, these green fuzzy balls make him very uncomfortable. And the balls don’t even need to be there in person to upset him; he will leave a room if the television is showing a tennis game. A phobia of all balls, in general, is called athlemophobia, but there isn’t one that deals with one particular type of ball. May we suggest tennisballaphobia or is that too obvious?
