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.

Anything with claws and an exoskeleton.
Yes -- that may seem a bit specific but it's truth. Mostly Ocean Crabs really -- I don't even like stuffed animal crabs or ceramic crabs - and I live in Maryland, a state known for Maryland Chesapeake Blue Crabs - and a crab is on our state sign for christ sake...
It goes back to childhood I think -- my parents tried to cook a batch in boiling water and forgot to weigh down the lid of the pot. Result? -- about a dozen of really pissed off crabs running about the kitchen. I was about 5 years old. Then at around age 9 I was bitten by one in the ocean. Then around 12 my father brought home whole steamed crabs in a paper bag and told me he had a present for me - but I wasn't allowed to look and had to reach in pull it out. I screamed like a little girl.
I hate crabs.

How about
the *other* kind of crabs?
Would you eat their meat (sea crabs, not crotch crabs) if it was out of the context of the shell?
