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.

FFS people...A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something.
Things that can hurt or kill you: dentists, spiders, falling, paralysis, sharks, hedge trimmers, etc etc.
None of these are phobias!
anyway... my phobia is that people will reply to this and slag me off for being such a fucking pedant.

A phobiais an irrational fear yes, but it's more of a sliding scale than anything.
Sure, people may not like spiders or bees, which is not a phobia. However, if they make a conscious effort not to come into contact with them due to the scale of that fear, it is a phobia.
