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.

Polystyrene
/lurk

I hate polystyrene foam. I positively won't have anything to do with it.

Being near it, touching it, seeing it. No sir. Whenever it's close to me, I start hearing the sound that it makes if you would bite down into it, or when it rubs together. It's absolutely horrible. I cringe as I write this.

My fear of this evil stuff is so bad that should I receive a box that contains it as packaging material, my girlfriend will have to open it for me as I leave the room.

I used to work in a store that would sell boxes made of the stuff for use as temporary thermos things. Should a customer knock them down, they stayed in a pile on the floor until one of my co-workers would pick it up or until my shift was over.

I've heard that some people have a similar aversion to cotton. Whatever. Keep your polystyrene away from me.
