Proposition 13 may indeed have helped in reducing one form of irrational terrors, but only about fear of numbers --- it did nothing to alleviate phobias about black cats, walking under a ladder, etc.

A department-store Santa with a disgraceful hairdo-malfunction.
If "the Don" ever tries his hand at playing a Wally-World Father Christmas for da little kiddos, "Imus" be sure to check to see if dat nappy-headed ho ho ho has done anything to "tame" dat infamous "wild" hair of his!

Achmed's weakness.
It is often quite difficult to get Achmed to cooperate or even hold a decent conversation, but if you offer him a bomb or other device of mass-destruction, that is his Ahkeelyou's heel, and you will totally have him eatin' outta yer hand --- anything that involves widespread annihilation and catastrophic ruination appeals to him immensely.

What you perform when a biting insect lands on a "strictly-hands-off" area of someone else's body, and so you have to use a crumpled piece of fabric to dispatch said blood-sucker.
Tiffany and I were out for an afternoon beach-stroll and a mosquito landed on her butt --- naturally I couldn't touch her "down there" while we were in public, but we both still were carrying our beach-towels, so I hastily bunched mine up and gave that impudent insect a wad-swat.

A college or workplace where the management falsely lures prospective students/employees by using deceptive wording on their property-rules signs.
Disgruntled newbie college student: Dag-blast this university and their "tobacco-free campus" signs --- here I'd thought they'd be giving away cigarettes to anyone who signed up for classes!

What da two shysters in da "Emperor's New Clothes" story had to dispense a lot of in order to alleviate observers' suspicion as to why there was no thread on the weaving-apparatus on their looms.
All of da observing folks in da famous "invisible clothing" tale were absurdly trusting and easily-fooled (well, all except da "innocent little boy", of course), so da two swindlers had a very easy time of succeeding with their "shuttle diplomacy", at least until the parade was underway (by which time they themselves had likely slipped away with their ill-gotten riches and had long-since disappeared). In real life, however, representatives of various countries, governments, and ethnic/religious groups often have a much harder time coaxing trust and cooperation from da leaders and officials of da various territories dat dey hafta visit and work in.
