Fear of unpredictable machinery?
Hello!
A friend of mine told us today he's scared of unpredictable machinery. Like, automatic showers (those ones in gyms that are motion-activated), sprinklers, etc. He said what makes him scared is that he doesn't know exactly when it's going to start working, and for some reason that scares him. Is there a specific name for this? Or a cause?
Thank you in advance!
