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.

A really bizarre phobia...
Admittedly i've been cured of this in my advancing years but as a child and teenager I had what can only be described as a wholly irrational fear of pointed lightbulbs.
Yes, you read that correctly. Pointed lightbulbs used to absolutely freak me the fuck out, I can only think it stems back to an incident in my very early childhood. Once a bulb popped in my room and my dad replaced it with a pointed one...I went completely mental and had to be consoled by my mother.
My fiance finds it hilarious that I could be freaked out by something so random - i'm not afraid of them now but I do notice when they're in light fittings...
