What say ye? Have any?

Here's mine. I cannot drink from any vessel I've carried with me into a public restroom. Like if I have a half-empty bottle of water or Coke or whatever in my bookbag. Have to throw it away afterwards.

I wouldn't exactly classify this as either but I absolutely detest having my hands/fingers feel greasy. It won't stop me from eating with my hands but I must get them clean right after.

The other day I squirted what I thought was an alcohol cleanser on my hands but it turned out to be lotion in the dispenser instead and I went and washed them to get it off.

I have a fear that one day, I will need an operation, and my surgical wound will dehiss.

I am phobic about snakes, even when I know perfectly well they are not dangerously venomous. Just about all our familiar North American snakes are mildly venomous, it has been recently determined.

I am also pretty acrophobic, although not as bad as some people I know.

Are rattlesnakes not considered dangerously venomous? I thought young ones were. Anyway, snakes are my one real fear.

I don't like lengths of thin metal chain (typically on necklaces), or gold jewelry of most types. I find most rings rather repulsive. It is a physical turn-off for me if a woman is wearing these sorts of things in bed.

I'm afraid of Charlie.
