PhobiasWhat 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.

I avoid shoppingI don't think I'm phobic, but I really hate it when I go into a shop and someone comes up and asks if I need any help. I'm not retarded and if I want any help I'll ask. As a consequence I rarely go shopping in small shops cos I hate walking around knowing you're being watched after you've declined the offer of help.

I can relate to thishowever I work in a shop and we HAVE to ask customers if they want any help. It's horrible sales tactics. Believe me, the shop assistant would much rather leave you alone, and won't be watching you at all. They'll just be glad that when you say "No thanks I'm fine" they don't have to start trying to big up the merchandise.
I do apologise on behalf of sales people everywhere, but we're only trying to pay our way through college.
