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 Clowns.
I have severe coulrophoba, which I can mostly trace to something someone said to me as a child. Since then, whenever one comes on TV, I have to look away. I was in a theme pub a few years back (2004) and one of the bar staff was dressed as a particularly scary evil looking one. When he finished collecting our glasses I started crying.

Oddly, not all clowns do this to me. I'm fine with Krusty, and french Pierrot-style ones are fine (like in Ashes to Ashes). But the white face orange hair red nose combo just makes me freeze.

Ashes to Ashes was terrifying! That first episode where he jumped out of the wardrobe damn near soiled my pants
