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.

buttonsDon't ask me why, I have no idea, but they give me the creeps. I thought I was utterly mad until one day at work I confessed to a colleague who I noticed never wore cardigans. She said yes, she was also button-averse.
I post this simply to see if we're alone in the universe.

I hated them as a childI remember being a cub scout and dreading joining the scouts because I would have to swap my green cub jumper for a scout shirt with buttons. The idea of them used to make me feel sick.
It doesnt bother me now as an adult, unless I see someone with a shirt buttoned up including the top button without a tie. Then I get that feeling of revulsion.

There's a shop in York......called 'Duttons for Buttons'.
I'd stay out of it if you ever visit York.
It is full of buttons.
