Cenosillicaphobia is a fear of an empty glass. Sufferers experience fear of seeing an empty glass, it may be a beer glass, a wine glass, or a cocktail glass. A person who suffers from this phobia feels uncomfortable when having an empty glass; in worse situations a person may become frustrated and angry.
