I have been terrified of something being under my bed since I was a child.
So recently I decided to go see a psychiatrist, hoping that there might be a cure. I told the psychiatrist that I have had this horrible fear of something terrible being under my bed, and even now as an adult, I find a can't sleep and am in a constant state of anxiety when I'm in the bed. He said "I can definitely fix your problem. If you come see me 3 times a week for a year, I will completely cure your fear". I asked what each session costs, to which he answered "80 dollars". I told him I'd sleep on it.
A few months later I ran into him at the grocery store. Recognizing me he asked how I was doing with my fear of something being under my bed? I told him "my neighbor completely cured me. I did the math and $80, 3 times a week for a year was over $12,000, so I used the money I saved to buy a truck".
The psychiatrist, looking kind of miffed said, "oh really? And how did your neighbor cure you". I said "he told me to cut the legs off the bed".
