For me, it’s handling wet yarn – taking wet sweaters or afghans out of the washer, for instance. The texture “squeaks” in the most horrid way and gives me a creepy feeling in, of all places, the back of my jaw. \<shudder\>

OTOH, I gleefully run my fingernails down blackboards to torture others. Heh heh.

Thank you, Narile–glad I wasn’t the only one.

Anybody ever know a kid that could turn his eyelids INSIDE OUT? You know, and get those little pink half-moons of flesh to stick down over his eyeballs. Never could watch that all the way thru.
