1. Sharks and deep water in general. Including pools more than six feet deep. The idea of snorkeling in shallow coral reef waters is terrifying. Augh.
2. Stepping on a manhole cover and having it give way so that I fall straight down into the sewers.
3. Static electricity shocks. Maybe this is more of an OCD thing but I go to crazy lengths to avoid them (like pressing water fountain buttons with my clothed wrist instead).
4. Scraping my nails against things like blackboards or the ceramic of a sink or anything slightly rough and rock-like. I'm getting horrible chills just thinking about it.
5. Celled things. Honeycomb isn't too bad, probably because it's regular, but actual cells and cauliflower-like growths and this one succulent of my mom's that's a white celled mass when it first sprouts horrify me. My sister's the same way, so I'm not totally crazy.
This is way, way too easy for my neurotic little self, so I'll stop here. But I sort of feel you on the teeth/concrete thing.
