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.

Buttons
I hate buttons - especially those big plastic decorative ones on old ladies coats. The bigger the nastier.

And it's not just buttons - it's the idea of putting them in my mouth. My brother shares this hatred.

I only have to say the words 'button sucker' and he cringes, screws up his face and looks in pain.

Bleurgh!!

Out with thee button satan.

boss with irrational button fear's wedding night
I used to work at a hotel where my scottish boss had an irrational fear of buttons - to the point of giving the staff uniforms with zips!

Anyway fast forward to his wedding at the hotel. I'm on duty - responsible for the whole hotel and staff - so I have master keys to the whole building.

The best man (who I know) asked me to let him into the honeymoon suite - 'to leave a present' for the happy couple.

I agreed, let him in and waited outside. The best man (possibly a misnomer) had 3 coffee jars (wtf) full of buttons which he hid in the bridal bed.

My boss was not pleased. Apopolectic (sp!) in fact.

Another one...
I had a friend who was also terrified of buttons. Her job - making theatrical costumes.
