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.

My own behaviour:
When in meetings. Proper, serious work meetings; I'm petrified of what I may do.

If asked a question I worry I might respond not with a coherent, sensible answer, but instead just mutter "minge" in the voice of Brian from Spaced.

Each time I take a drink of water I shiver at the prospect that I might gather a mouthful in my cheeks, then casually lean my head back and create a human fountain.

Worst of all; I dread that the person next to me will say something stupid and I'll unwittingly cuff them about the ear.

I've never done any of these things (I am 32 after all), but I'm scared that one day I'll catch myself out & be fired before I've even realised.

couldn't agree more
Everytime I hand a fresh cup of tea or coffee to a colleague the thought of making a hissing noise and throwing it in their face races through my mind.

you got a massive fuck-off LOL from me :)

I know what you mean though. When I'm stood in front of a class of 20 or so co-workers and I'm making a presentation/training, I have split-second mental blocks where my brain is thinking "look at them all. They're all looking at you. You could do ANYTHING you wanted and they would sit and keep staring." Just as the thought of me whipping out my nob and working it up to full erection passes my brain I get back on track.
