What gives you the heebiejeebies?

[AnnieCartwright]

For me it's people (especially men - yes, I'm being sexist) who shake hands like a limp lettuce. Takes all myself control not to wipe my hand down my side ....

What's yours?

Robots
Buttons Ugh!

Men with long fingernails
Fungi growing on trees/in grass
Those creepy wobbly sounding organs that play circus/seaside music
Punch and Judy
Kevin Spacey
Ventriloquist dummies
Holes

Moths and butterflies

When my sock works it’s way off my heel inside my shoe.

And when I forget to grab my cardigan sleeve before putting my coat on, so it rolls up and then I feel the satin lining of the coat on my arm.

People have very wet lips or white stuff at the corners of their mouth.

My in-laws

Bats. Their faces are demonic.

Stray hairs, especially in food. Even the thought makes me heave.

Milk. I can't drink it, smell it or even have it touch me. If I get a drop on me I feel like I need a shower.

Trump and John Torode.

running spiders....I am not keen on them at all tbh but a running one will make me shriek

also moths and butterflies.... I mean they are basically fancy spiders with wings, lets be totally honest about this!!
Anyway we went into the Butterfly House at Amsterdam zoo, noooo I'll be fine, I am not scared, I am a grown up now ... I had to be escorted out by dh, with my eyes shut and my hands over my face, much to the amusement of every other bugger in there oohhhing and aahhhing at the flappy twatting things

not good with that weird feel of some metal things once they have been through the dishwasher, but we're an odd family for stuff like that. DM cannot touch chalk, DF ditto cotton wool, DS1 ditto cotton wool and polystyrene, DD gets a bit faint if anyone talks about velvet

escalators...I have to really concentrate on a down escalator NOT to try and step off it. DH hangs on to me when we go down tube escalators, it's sweet he tries to be in front and behind me :o

How funny @crosser62 I came on to same sloths!
They're so slow and ick

Also komodo dragons.
I just can't

Life-size waxworks, bloody terrifying.
Also the thought of swimming in deep water with your legs dangling and not knowing what's underneath you. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Spiders and those padded cover things that go over old water heaters in airing cupboards...don't ask 🤷🏻‍♀️ DH has a fit when I bite the towel to fold it in half after I've had a shower

@laurieshcaffer I did the same at longleat with the butterfly house.
Butterflies are my main phobia. I hate them, they make me feel sick.
About 8 years ago I thought the same; I can do this! Went in and oh my god! Nope! I was clinging to my husband with my face into his chest, I could barely move, it was horrible. Nope.

Those drainage holes in reservoirs

the floors in swimming pool changing rooms

wet shoelaces

david tennant’s feet

Limp, damp handshakes.

Jim Carey
The News Quiz
Sandy Toxtev. No idea how to spell her name!
Heights

Belly button piercings

Earwigs and flying ants. Used to live in a house infested with earwigs. The bastards thought they could walk on ceilings and would frequently fall on my face and pillow in the night.

People blowing up balloons.

Metal on teeth, or metal against metal

The seeds in the middle of peppers, also melons.

adults in gorilla costumes
ken dodd
left over milk in cereal dishes, dregs of milky drinks in mugs , milk !

@AWiseWomanOnceSaidFuckThisShit omg same!!! I didn't think anyone else had this but I am so scared of great whites in the swimming pool and especially seeing one when looking under water with goggles 😱
