Fear of a Flat Tire


Klatarismenophobia is fear of a flat tire.


A phobia can be described as an irrational fear. I don't think the fear of getting a flat tire is entirely irrational. 



Recently, I caught a flat. 


I got a sinking feeling when the car told me that the tire needed air. Like now. Then a couple minutes later, the tire was flat.



I will admit. I was scared. 

Like manly scared. 



Quiet and tough on the outside. 

Crying on the inside like an infant. 



If I had AAA, I would have called them and pretended my arm was incapacitated somehow. 


But I pushed though. And swapped the flat for the little spare. After the fact, pushing through the fear did help.
