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.

This is a QotW answer cockroaches
I went to visit my Dad in Hong Kong many moons ago when I was a teenager. His (Chinese) wife was terrified of creepy crawlies, and in particular cockroaches.

I found this hilarious - she'd grown up in what was probably close to the creepy crawly capital of the know universe, but every time she saw one she did a little hysterical scream.

So one day she went to the loo, and as usual there was a cockroach in the bath, so she screamed. And so I laughed at her, and my Dad told me that if being scared of cockroaches was so silly why didn't I go and pick the thing up?

Damn - rumbled!!!
