this is... what gives me goosebumps

It's true, the sound of cutlery scraping together gives me goosebumps! I've had this problem since I was little and when asked (or more often, told) to dry the dishes my mum knew not to expect me to go anywhere near it. To this day I allow cutlery to drip-dry for fear of the scraping sound!

Thanks to Flightless Boyds for this goose-bumpy theme and also to Angela for all the fun of "This is...".

Its a good thing you don't have to work in the hopitality industry. That would be a nightmare!

Eeek! Hope your family doesn't torture you with this!
For me, it's the sound of ice scaping or crunching. My sister was very unkind one year and stuffed all my birthday presents in the freezer, knowing I would have huge troubles getting them out.
Even now my husband turns up the radio or waits till I leave the room before he gets ice from the freezer for his drink :-)
