    Pet Peeve - people who chomp gum, people who I can smell their perfume across the room

    Phobia - don't have any. I don't like heights, but they don't terrify me

    Oddities - I cannot look down out of a window at night. Just will not do it

    Pet Peeve: People who are late.
    Phobia: Snakes, spiders and "slow" heights; I can jump out of an airplane or go zip lining but ferris wheels scare the crap out of me!
    Oddities: (superstition?) The pillow on the ambulance cot has to be opening down or there will be a cardiac arrest that day. (Believe, it happens every damn time!)

    My pet peeve is noisy eaters: slurpers, open mouth eaters, people that talk with their mouthful, loud chewers. God it's revolting.

    I am arachnophobic. Absolutely lose control around spiders. I was pretty pleased with myself yesterday, stood very close to a red knee tarantula on the handlers hand at London Zoo :)

    Pet peeve: Rude people really bother me. There is no call for it. I don't care how ****ty your day has been. We all have crap to deal with.

    Phobia: Nothing really. Not particularly scared of anything. Don't really like spiders. Used to be terrified of sharks but I don't meet them that often so I've kinda outgrown that one.

    Oddities: I'm not that fond of cardboard. I don't mind touching it or carrying a box but when I have to break it down and put it in the bin the sound of it scraping against my nails gives me shivers. Like nails on a chalkboard. Is that weird?

    Peeve: people being all about themselves! People who can't drive! (How did some of them get their license???)

    Pet Peeve: People walking slowly while blocking the whole sidewalk.
    Phobia: So many. Some of the weirder ones are space and saliva.
    Oddities: I have OCD so I have a bunch. I NEED ice cubes in my drink, but only if it's the right type (ice goes in chocolate milk but never in plain milk) and I spin on the landing of stairs to keep myself from making a full turn so that I stay in the same rotation.

    Peeve: disrespectful, abusive or demeaning behavior (imagine the chicks on Bridezillas) :angry:

    Phobia: emetophobia - intense irrational fear of nausea and vomiting (feeling nausea can cause me to panic for fear that I might have to vomit - which is strangely traumatic for me.) It's not just uncomfortable for me, it's terrifying. :sick:

    Oddity: being emetophobic :frown:

    Peeve: OMG I hate when people yawn (around me) I give them warnings if your yawning around me

    2. I'm boring you (so get from around me)
    3. Your rude (because I have warned you)

    Phobia: Mice (rodents in general) I don't even like squirrels.

    Oddity: Something wet if I don't know why its wet and wear it came from, Like a wet seat would freak me out.

    Pet peeves: rude service staff, people who complain about things in their lives but don't make any changes to improve what's wrong,

    Phobias: turbulence on planes, large spiders, saliva

    Oddity: I can't touch brick or terracotta without wanting to vomit. It's something about the texture

    Words fail me. I cannot even begin to describe how ridiculous this is.
