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.

Big Things In Water
I don't generally suffer from any phobias, laugh at heights, spiders, snakes and so on and have spent many years cultivating my tough guy image but I do have one odd fear...

I can't abide buoys. Now, let's be clear, this is bUoys, not boys or men in general. It's something to do with the big rusty chain stretching down into the depths that just gives me the shudders something terrible. I thought for a while it was all big or man-made objects in water but I don't have any problems with boats or locks or weirs, it's just buoys and buoy like things.

It just seems wrong somehow. Boats are fine, they're floating but a buoy is fixed into this enormous expanse of water and it has no right to be.

Those underwater bombs things~
Those big spiked balls that are held down with long chains on the sea bed, they freak me out. I don't know what they're actually called, underwater mines or something, but ugh if I see one in a game, or the ones on Finding Nemo... very freaky. And it's not the fact that they're bombs, it's more where they are.
