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.

More bloody spidersWhen I was but an Ewok, the family was visiting my grandad when my father let slip to him that I had a fear of spiders. In his usual sensitive, caring way the grumpy old git started to regale me with tales of his time in the Sudan, specifically the FEROCIOUS MAN-KILLING BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS which look JUST LIKE NORMAL BLACK HOUSE SPIDERS and which apparently like to LURK UNDER TOILET SEATS.
He didn't mention that you don't get them in this country.
I had just about got over fear of the toilet monster at that point, but to this day I check under the toilet seat before I poo. I'm no longer expecting there to be a black widow there, but frankly the thought of any spider scampering over my naked arse is enough to make me glad I'd already be on the bog when it happened.

We have them here.Black Widows, that is. And brown recluse spiders as well, although I have yet to encounter one.
But black widows? We get those everywhere. Invariably my girlfriend ends up making me do them in.

I've been reading up on spidersas I'm off to Oz next year.... after I'd creeped myself out with the Oz spiders, I had a look at the brown recluse.....
I always thought they were tarantula sized, they're TINY! Makes them even worse!
Widow spiders terrify/fascinate me most, I hope I get to see a redback!
