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.

A wooden spoon
Or anything wooden for that matter. Even the thought of licking it or rubbing it on my tongue, gives me and outbreak of goosebumps and electric shocks down my back.

This can also be applied to any furry fruit, such as peaches or kiwis.

The only way I can regain any semblance of control is by imagining I’m licking jelly or ice.

I’ve no idea where this phobia comes from…..

Agree
Any new wooden spoon with the *shudder* rough bits. All of the ones I use for cooking are ancient things that have been polished by decades of use, otherwise I couldn't use them.

Someone very thoughtful bought me a wooden rolling pin once, I put it in a drawer and never touched it again. I'm currently moving house and had to get my husband to take it out of the drawer to pack it, should have just thrown the fucker in the bin.
