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.

chalk
I hate it!! Thinking about its chalky dustiness makes me shiver and puts my teeth on edge.
If I'm watching a film and someone is writing on a blackboard I have to cover my ears.
I was so glad when they invented marker boards.

I did an A level in fine art and we had to do lots of charcoal drawings. These were very, VERY hard for me.
I believe that's the reason I got a C.

I hate to tell you, but I *have* to...
I empathise. My primary school teacher started to eat the stuff when she was pregnant. Really. Licked the dust of her finders sub-consciously, nipped off a little end in her mouth and sucked it. The thought of it on my teeth... eugh.

I'm not in this camp at all
Indigestion tablets like Rennies and so on have a chalky taste and consistency. I actually like that. It feels like it's doing some good, neutralising that stomach acid.

But I hate that Gaviscon stuff. It's all gloopy and horrible, but its main selling point is that it's not chalky.

So it's good to know we're all catered for!
