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.

HeightsI didn't used to be but I am scared of heights and only in a certain way. I think I'm scared if I can't get down easily or if I feel movement.
So, tall buildings: great. London Eye: no problem. Smoothly flying planes: fine.
Turbulence: grip the arms of the seat.
The Monument to the Great Fire of London where I had to climb a never-ending enclosed spiral staircase that made my brain go a bit funny and not quite work out how to put one foot in front of the other: nasty. I couldn't walk properly when I got to the top and so when I got out I had to cling to the wall.
King Kong. The latest film's sequence on the Empire State had me climbing onto my seat in terror because my head was tricked by the realism of the view from the top of the building.
Contrast all this to the time I went bungee-jumping in NZ. Throwing myself off a bridge was terrifying but so was the prospect of backing out. So I jumped.
