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.

Stairs with those little open spaces...


...the ones that look like this. I've been a bit scared of them ever since I was a kid. I think it's because I keep thinking "what if I lose my footing and my foot/leg gets caught between one of those spaces?"

It's not just you!
I was terrified of them as a kid. I'm alright now, but I'm still cautious when climbing them.

A kid snapped her leg,
a few years ago at our community centre place, on similar stairs.
Deathtrappish.

me too!
I wouldn't walk down the stairs at the side of our house til I was 6 1/2 coz they were like this- and there were only 5 of them!

Run away
from the stairs!!!!

on a side note i sometimes trip upstairs when the top stair comes over the lower stair, usually in the morning when i am rather sleepy.

Cats
walking down such stairs, when they get to about the third one from the ground, will often turn round, squeeze through the gap and jump off the back.

Most odd.

You should be more afraid...
...of the zombie arms that will reach through the openings while you try to run for cover.

Check above for crazy stair-designing. When I was a nipper my sister had some of these in her room and they upset me.
