Reader request | Mini-phobias, anyone? We'd like to hear about them

We know a woman who won't touch cotton balls because she can't stand the feel of them. And, when one of our co-workers eats a Popsicle, she melts it in a microwave and enjoys it like soup, to avoid touching the stick. How about you: Do you have a similar mini-phobia or quirky habit? If you don't mind sharing, send us the details.
