Some people are afraid of buffets. A joke was posted on Twitter by Moose Allain Ꙭ on November 5, 2012:
“There is a cure for buffetphobia, but first of all you’ve got to want to help yourself.”
“You can get help for buffet phobia, but first you’ve got to want to help yourself”—without “of all” and with “buffet phobia” as two words—was posted on Twitter by Moose Allain Ꙭ on August 22, 2014, and again on Twitter (with “buffetphobia” as one word) on November 14, 2016.

I went to see a psychiatrist about my Buffetphobia. She said she’d do her best to help me but, first of all, I had to want to help myself.
