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.

Gaah
I used to be terrified of dogs. My mum was bitten by one when she was little and became subsequently shit-scared of them. She somehow transferred this fear onto me. Cheers Mum. I'm nearly not scared of them now, other than they make me a bit nervous and jumpy.

I also hate everything about lychees. They are actually eyeballs, fruit my arse. The thought of them makes me retch.

People chewing. The sound makes me want to rip my own face off.

My weird phobia is having anything put in or near my ears. I worked out that the origin of this phobia, appropriately enough, came about when I was about 6 or 7 and watching Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan on the telly. You know that bit where they put the brain slugs in their ears? GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Anyhoo, the worst instances of this phobia was one time a few years ago when I was sat next my brother on a plane and he kept poking his finger in my ear until I cried and he stopped because I was being weird. The other time was when one of my ears got all clogged with wax (which they are prone to do) and I made the mistake of letting my bf try and clean some of the wax out. I screamed the place down and we never spoke of it again.

Chewing
I thought that was just me. I hate the sound of chewing and I hate the smell of mint so someone chewing gum next to me on the train is something of an ordeal.

People chewing gum are the worst, especially WITH THEIR MOUTHS OPEN!!!
