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.

Frictionless palms
B3ta - what have you done ?

I started work in this new contract back in February. It was the first time I'd had to work in an office for nearly 2 years (working at home previously) and first time I hadn't been contracting for a Rather Large Telecoms Company for 9 years. It was also the first time I'd worked in London for nearly 13 years.

I'm quite a confident person in most ways - but something about the combination of the above meant that I developed atrociously sweaty palms. My hands would basically pour out sweat 30 minutes into my journey into work, and stop once I was on the train home.

Then, I noticed the other day, after over 2 months working here, that it had stopped. For whatever reason, it had stopped. Thank God, I thought, as the sweat from my palms made typing unpleasant and produced visible pools on the area of plastic between the keyboard and the edge of my laptop.

And who likes sweaty palms ?

But like I say, it had gone. It HAD gone - until this QoTW. Now it's back. I've tried taking a photo of it for your delectation, but it's not come out too well.

So, I'm phobic to QoTW's about phobia. Why ?
