max Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Originally posted by DaBouncer A friend of mine has a phobia of buttons. Not the popper type that some cheap shirts or denim shirts have; but the real four hole button types. Cant stand em, and it makes her feel sick. FREAK! Freaky maybe, but not uncommon. A search reveals there's even a name for it: praepilaphobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Rock Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Moths, butterflies, low flying birds, the touch of silk (makes me just want to rub my hands for ages to get away from the feel of it) and any music recorded by any R&B or Garage artist. Yeerurrrchh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango2 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Mine is cats,I hate it when the jump on your lap and do that stomping thing with their paws (whats that all about). Then when they realise you dont like them,the lay down on your lap. Just as you think you are over the worst,they begin to purr and vibrate,then comes the grand finale,you move and the claws sink right into you. makes me shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosywolf Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Cotton wool. Especially the thought of anyone putting it in their mouth and rubbing their teeth on it...oh god, it's too horrible to contemplate... Cosy:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosywolf Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 No, I haven't seen Catch 22, but thanks for the warning. I probably never will now! And please please please don't bother to describe what happens...my sanity is precarious enough! Cosy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The pedants on this forum will probably point out that it was in fact cotton in the film/book, albeit chocolate coated, but in its raw state cotton and cotton wool are very similar.

Yes, they're each as bad as the other...and even the thought of chocolate coating isn't going to stop my teeth being on edge for days now. T-shirts, sheets, anything like that, put it near your mouth and eeeeewwwww!!!! But cotton wool is worse. I once worked in a chemists and my boss loved to torture me by making me price all the bags of cotton wool. Any bottles of tablets or vitamins with cotton wool in the top have to be dealt with by my patient partner. I literally cannot touch the stuff. I say again: EEEEWWWWW!
