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.

This sort-of happened to me, too..I was pootling up the M11, doing about 80mph in a Ford Fiesta van. I was overtaking a Range Rover when I saw something in the road ahead of me, poking out from the central reservation. There was nothing to do other than drive over it, and unfortunately it dented the wheel so badly that the tyre instantly gave in. The car span out and hit the central reservation, knocking the boot door open, then rebounded back across all the other lanes and ended up on the hard shoulder.
Naturally it all happened in slow motion, so the image of a truck heading straight towards me as I span helplessly towards it is ingrained in my memory forever, and gave me nightmares for a while. Luckily it missed me, but it must've been a close one.
