Here, found this for you. It's a site with a whole bunch of stories from people with button phobia. (It has a big long hard to pronounce name too, but I saw that on a different site that I couldn't open due to the weird filters on this computer)

Edit: the scientific name is Koumpounophobia. I just found it again.

Hmmm.....Nope, can't say I have. What exactly about buttons gives you trouble?

well i have never heard of that but i know different people have different phobias.
i know of some people that are terrified of flowers
terrified of aluminum foil.


im sure there are more people though

Never heard of that, but I've heard of stranger phobias...

Yeah, its called Koumpounophobia; you can be cured through hypnotherapy.

Bit of research: Koumpounophobia?


I've heard of it but don't have it. Supposedly, its quite common. the second site is good, but has an advertisement of Hypnotherapy which is a treatment.

Yes. One of the nurses that I used to work with had a fear of buttons. She went to the toilet one day and one of the other staff followed her and pushed a few buttons underneath the door. The poor girl was so upset and couldn't come out. Cruel trick huh?
