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.

The nose
Pretty much anything to do with the nose. I smashed mine up when I was a nipper by falling face first into a concrete stair at Haymarket Station. (near Edinburgh, if you must know) Have the faintest scar to show for it. (so faint I only noticed it 12 years later)

However, it feels fragile and even a nosebleed will freak me out. The following are therefore ever-so-slightly unbearable:

* People touching my nose (stealing nose, poking, shaking)
* My nose hitting off things (made kissing awkward for a while)
* People who scratch their noses by placing a finger underneath and moving it rapidly back and forth (what the fuck is wrong with you people? WHY DO YOU NOT BLEED?!)
* Nose rings, like bulls have. Just no.
* Aggressive nose picking (normal nose picking is fine... stretching nose with finger is a no!
* People who get things stuck/lost up their noses (instant death, surely?)

*shudder*
