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.

And now my own "dislikes"
Wooden forks (horrid dry things; but I oddly (as others have noted) have an urge to bite really hard on them - revenge?)

Finger and toe nails being broken. Theres a bit in a Wilbur Smith book where a Zulu is hanging off a cliff by his finger tips and falls...it mentions nails in there.

Spiders. 'Nuff said. I wouldnt hurt one, but by christ I hate them. This is probably my nearest Phobia.

Man Made heights. Mountains Im fine on, but a tall building and I get very nervous.

War of the Worlds (as a kid). The Jeff Wayne version, man it scared me.

Dentists (getting much better)

Hearing pulses/heartbeats, especially my own.

Dry feet. I hate it if ive walked bare foot on some carpet and my feet go all dry and shiny.

Sand on my feet. Christ thats vile (probably linked to the above)

Edit: Touching Polystyrene, the noise it makes when you rub 2 bits together. And squeeky balloons.

Edit#2. Clowns can fuck right off too.

Im sure there are many more.

I was terrified by Mr Waynes martian musical too...
but now it's one of my favourite albums...

Weirdly though, I must have really got into the recent version with Tom Cruise in it, because when the first tripod came up and started killin' I pooed myself and had to watch something else for a bit...but now I quite like it.

wooden forks are horrid
I was ok with War of the Worlds, twas "V" which used to scare the shit oout of me, especially when they peeled their faces off.

The heartbeat thing.....
I thought it was just me! I only developed that a year ago, it's really odd. You keep expecting it to stop.
