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.

Oh the Joys of fuckwitteryThere is a vast difference between being a bit scared of something (what 90% of people call a phobia), and an actual phobia.
The difference is simple to explain, if they _boast_ about it in the pub/behind the bikesheds/in the QotW it's not a phobia.
If the first time you find out about it is when your mate goes white and starts trembling at the sight of a hairbrush, that's a phobia.
Me, I don't like electric hedge trimmers. The slots there are just the right size for my fingers to get caught in, they frighten me, but only to the point of preferring to use a pair manual shears and letting other people use the hedge trimmer. I don't lose the plot at the sight/sound/thought of one, hence not phobic.
M.E. is real, dreadfully and unpleasantly real. Get used to the idea that people can have medical problems that don't show up anywhere but under the microscope.
ADHD I have no data on. I've only ever met spoiled children on a sugar high.
