My 100-year-old aunt was frightened by a cat when she was a little child, and she still can't stand to be anywhere near a cat. Irrational fears are like that, they can't help being afraid even if they know there's really no danger. Its not like that she was just being a complete idiot and was over reacting

I actually dislike the attitude of some young people.... It takes all types and we have to get on with each other! I've a fear... yes a real fear of cats! I was badly attacked by one, when I was young, and I cant be anywhere near them now... so maybe the lady did have a thing about birds! No offence but I really think thats silly yes one bird may have scared her and now she hates birds but that dosent mean all birds are bad.Like a bird saying not all humans are bad.

You have to understand Brandon, that some phobias will seem silly. Phobias are irrational fears, that can often form in bad experiences, and the way people respond to them will be different.
It's called the fight or flight response. People who have the fight response will object. People who have the flight response will run away. The woman on the bus displayed the fight response.
And yes, it may seem silly for someone to have a fear because of one bad experience. However, that's how the human brain works. Especially when one is very young, and their brain is still developing. They might know in the future that not all cats, dogs, birds, or whatever, are bad but their mind will still tell them to be cautious. Especially if the experience happened when someone is a young kid, because as a kid, experiences such as being attacked by a cat or dog, will seem more traumatizing at that age, then it would as a teenager or adult.
Don't let the woman on the bus get to you though. We all have our likes and dislikes, and not everyone can share our love for birds.
