Whilst it's an irrational fear, it is entirely possible for it to catch fire there is an electrical fault with it that causes it to overheat etc. I am sure such irrational fears will stem from somewhere - maybe an experience in your earlier life that causes you to do a certain thing?Square Eyes wrote:It's an irrational fear, the way to look at it is think of all the times you are in the house with the Sky Plus box on. How many times has it caught fire ?This and That wrote:Square Eyes i agree with you.I just feel the box heats up and hate leaving it plugged in incase of a fire.I know stupid i agree with you.
For me, it's dogs. When I was little I nearly got bitten badly by an alsatian (sp?) and ever since I've always been wary about dogs. If they get too close, I walk as far away as possible. Even if it means crossing the road. If it starts barking and acting all snappy then I'm off in a shot.
As for the last things I do at night, have a glass of water, brush my teeth, put whatever needs to be charged on and crawl into bed. And check the front and kitchen doors locked.
