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.

Invertigo
Looking up at tall things (skyscrapers, the ceilings of cathedrals) gives me severe attacks of vertigo - I feel dizzy, the world seems to spin, and I have to hold on to something and try not to be sick. Anywhere with tall buildings or vaulted ceilings I have to stare at the floor and try to ignore the cold sweat...

Odd thing is, I *don't* get it when looking down from great heights. I've looked down from the Eiffel tower, the Whispering Gallery at St. Paul's, and Beachy Head, no problem at all.

I'm weird.

Me too
I'll look down from anything if I've got a nice flat floor or solid aeroplane under me but looking up (unless I'm on the ground) gives me the creeps.

Great
We could form a support group.

That meets in a bungalow, thank you very much.
