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'm not afraid of heights......but I do get the serious colly-wobbles when I look up at very high things above my head. I'm fine and dandy when I'm up there, but standing on the ground staring up at them is just horrible. The Eiffel Tower is especially bad, as you can walk underneath the damn thing and gaze right up through the very workings of the metal monstrosity. Places like cathedrals have the same effect - "Ooh look at the lovely detailing on the ceiling" "Where? Oh f..... ".
Mrs Newell and I were thinking of having a trip to New York this year, a place not known for it's low-rise architecture.
And touching rough metal sets my teeth completely on edge. There's a film with Nicolas Cage in it where he has to use plastic cutlery, and David Caruso tortures him by making him eat off the proper steel stuff. Crap film but I know the feeling.
Oh, and wasps. But they're not so innocent. Guilty as sin in fact, the yellow and black bastards.
Not so much the length, but the height that's the troublesome thing ...
