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.

Edges
Not heights, edges. I can climb happily, looking down while doing so is no problem, but once I get to the top, looking down puts me into a cold sweat. Halfway up fine, but once there eeek? Where is the logic?

Doing the zip-wire thing? No problem as you're going along-ish. Sorry, approximately horizontal for the pedantic.I quite happily lobbed myself out of working aircraft for a few years, with no problems. I can fly in anything without a tremor. Abseiling is just doable, albeit with extremely tightly clenched buttocks, but I cannot walk to the edge of a cliff and look down without going all wibbly.

Edge-o-phobic. Or big girly puff, as I have also been described?

I also get freaked out at edges of cliffs
Mostly due to the fact that if I more than glance, I get a bit disorientated and get a REALLY strong urge to jump off...
