666. A scary number?
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is the fear of the number 666. This is a very common fear and can be feared religiously or by superstition. The number 666 is usually used in scary movies or to freak people out. Some signs of this fear are if a grocery total is $6.66, you may feel compelled to add or subtract an item. You may block channel 666 from your cable listings or drive around your neighborhood to change your odometer reading from 666 to 667. If it appears often even by covincidense you may feel like its a sign, which may scare you even more. This number is thought to be the number of the beast or Satan. This number could be very scary to some people. Numerophobia is the fear of numbers. This is all numbers in general. But this would make math very difficult and even things such as grocery shopping or even reading.
