Lots...
Not really phobias as i'm not really scared of them, they just make my teeth itch, my body shiver and my stomach twinge...

1: Polystyrene. Nothing unusual about it, but when you get two bits and rub them together, the sound emited could possibly be the sound a cat makes when being raped by a chainsaw.

2: This is a weird one, and i've no idea where it came from, but bare feet on sandy surfaces. I'm not sure whether it's the raspy sound it makes or the actual motion, but doing it myself makes me leap 10 feet in the air, if someone else does it then i physically shake and have to move away. Paving slabs are the worst, or rocks... the beach used to terrify me.

3. Flipflops. It's not the actual flipflop, but the bit of string/plastic that sits between your big toe and the next one (someone cleverer than me can probably give you it's proper name). Just the thought if it rubbing away at the skin between my toes, and the squeaky sound it makes when wet is enough to ruin any holiday. Combine this with phobia No. 2 and you can imagine i had some fantastic holidays as a kid.

4. Eyes. I tried contact lenses once. In one eye. After being forcibly held down by my optician. NEVER again, i'd rather be blind than let anything touch my eyeball. People always tell me things like "you just need to get used to them" and "it just takes a bit of practice"... bollocks, eyes are for looking out of, not for shoving bits of plastic or glass into.

5. ice lolly sticks. chip shop forks, wooden cuttlery, chopsticks. I'm fine with everything here and can eat away quite happily using them. Until they touch my tongue. Then whatever i am eating at the time will be regurgitated immediately followed by my cringing and shivering.

It's probably appropriate to mention that all of the above are normally accompanied by guttural mewling from myself at the same time, reminiscent of the sounds a toothless man would make while trying to eat a toffee apple.

God i'm a freak.

Flip flops
I can't stand the feeling of that bit between your toes either - never been able to wear them.
