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 question reply Buttons
I hate buttons - especially those big plastic decorative ones on old ladies coats. The bigger the nastier.

And it's not just buttons - it's the idea of putting them in my mouth. My brother shares this hatred.

I only have to say the words 'button sucker' and he cringes, screws up his face and looks in pain.

Bleurgh!!

Out with thee button satan.

This is a question reply boss with irrational button fear's wedding night
I used to work at a hotel where my scottish boss had an irrational fear of buttons - to the point of giving the staff uniforms with zips!

Anyway fast forward to his wedding at the hotel. I'm on duty - responsible for the whole hotel and staff - so I have master keys to the whole building.

The best man (who I know) asked me to let him into the honeymoon suite - 'to leave a present' for the happy couple.

I agreed, let him in and waited outside. The best man (possibly a misnomer) had 3 coffee jars (wtf) full of buttons which he hid in the bridal bed.

My boss was not pleased. Apopolectic (sp!) in fact.
