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.

Spiral staircases.
Walking up them I'm somewhat shaky, but going down them is a killer. I have to walk on the outside and have a handrail to hold on to, and take my time. I think it's because - unlike a normal staircase with switchbacks and a view of the end - you can't see the bottom, and there's a nagging fear that if I fall, I'll just keep falling and falling.
It took me an hour and a half to get from the top of the Monument to the bottom. Blasted friends taking advantage of my drunken state to get me up there, then leaving me.
