Anatidaephobia is the fictional and humorous fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck or goose is watching you. While it causes distress for some, it does not have scientific or medical backing as a real mental health disorder. The term was popularized by the cartoonist Gary Larson in his comic strip The Far Side and later satirized by a writer and insurance company, leading to widespread discussion and humor around the concept.
