Fruit based phobias
Specifically, pineapple.

I *hate* it. The smell nauseates me to the point where I could cheerfully (OK, maybe not cheerfully) vomit if I come within 5 paces of the damned stuff. I kid you not, one whiff of it, and I gag. Our local has an acoustic night every Tuesday, and sometimes they put pizza and sandwiches out on the bar. One night I made a grab for a slice, but in the half-gloom didn’t notice that it was layered with pineapple…

I can feel the saliva building in my cheeks even thinking about it. ‘Scuse me…

*Barfs*

Actually, just fruit in general doesn’t do it for me. I went strawberry picking once (I was dragged along because it was a fair bet that I’d be the only fucker that wouldn’t eat them as I went). As we drove back, punnets of freshly picked strawberries nestling on the parcel shelf, I got an almighty headache. Yep, the smell of strawberries gives me a headache… How lame is that?

There is no excuse
Whatsoever for putting pineapple on pizza. Just none. Or on gammon. I mean which demented fool said "hmmmm, pork based sizzling savoury thing, often served with other high cholesterol savoury things, I know, let's lob a piece of pineapple on top, it'll be a winner"?

Did you know that pineapple juice will remove your fingerprints as it releases some obscure flesh dissolving enzyme? Mm tasty.

I have a friend who freaks out over pineapple as well.
His family often teases him with fresh pineapple.
