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.

I've had this happen to meon a motorcycle of all things. Luckily it was the rear tyre that went, not the front - but was still bloody scary as I was heading towards the rear end of a stationary lorry at the time, I heard a 'pop' and the back of the bike suddenly started weaving from side to side. I managed to come to a halt just inches from going under a lorry. If I'd have panicked and hit the rear brake I'd probably have been dead.
Since then I've always been anal about my tyres - I carry a spare tyre, inner tube, and set of tyre levers with me, and if I ever see the slightest bit of damage the tyre gets replaced immediately.
