This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

Mr Maladicta mocks me
for my pathological hatred of clingfilm. I refuse to use it to wrap anything, meaning having to cover any kind of microwaveable bowl (when one of his scummy housemates has lost the lid again) is not fun for me and I usually end up making him touch the evil spawn of Lucifer.

I don't really understand why I hate clingfilm so much, other than the sight of it all scrunched into a ball after you've eaten makes me feel queasy, and the texture of it on my fingertips is even worse.

More conventionally I hate spiders, possibly as a direct result of being encouraged to watch Arachnophobia as a small child by my dad (or perhaps it's because my cousin had a tarantula when I was really little and that freaked me out, it was bigger than my head). Unfortunately this is something the other half can't help me with because he's just as bad.

Then there's the fear of being alone forever, which again I think is quite normal (see Karma QOTW) but has as much to do with not wanting to be alone as it does with the urge to punch the next person to ever refer to me as a 'singleton' - hell, I'm in a relationship and this is making me cranky.

Send me a screamer and I will hurt you. I always turn the sound off to watch a video for the first time. Goatse me, rickroll me, duckroll me, I Love Horses me, whatever, but I fucking loathe screamers.

Accidental pregnancy (fortunately, one Mr Maladicta shares).

As a small child, this scared the everloving crap out of me:

Finally, the slow and creeping fear that I just may have acquired another stalker recently; it's not beyond the realms of possibility, but we shall see...

Arachnophobia
I fully sympathise - I was take to the cinema to see it as a child.

To this day, I still check that:

a) there's not a spider sitting on top of the shower head.
b) there's not a spider in my slippers/shoes.

*shudders*

I just loathe them.
Especially the bigger ones with the hairy arses... thinking about that makes me feel very very ill :( I think I did hate them before that, but now if I see one I have to get someone else to take care of it. They are teh ebil.

Eww
To me, the one with little tiny bodies but HUGE spindly legs are the worst.

That may be because someone once told me that their venom is poisonous enough to kill a human - only their jaws are too small to bite us.

Thanks for that...

As far as I'm concerned a spider's a spider
and therefore is evil and must be burninated. But those are the two absolute worst types of the fuckers.
