PhobiasWhat 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.

OctopiiFrom what I've read, I have to add credence to LVP's octopii phobia.
Octopus are extremely intelligent creatures, a large aquarium recently noted one of it's sharks went missing whereabouts unknown and it was only when the janitor reported that the remaining shark was being stalked by an octopus did scientists realise that octopus actually hunt some fearsome fish relying on their intelligence, stealth and dexterity.
Squid are also highly intelligent and some species (ie Humboldt squid) have snared and abducted divers. It should be noted however that this behaviour has taken place within traditional squid fishing grounds, outside of which they're curious but benign so it could be argued that their behaviour isn't necessarily aggressive.
