Not OP but I have the same phobia of earthworms and hanging green caterpillars (and millipedes to a lesser extent) - I just involuntarily feel that lines that squiggle on their own are creepy. Now if those lines had distinguishable eyes then I'm not as creeped out (i.e. snakes)

I also don't like broken rubber bands (the red and yellow kinds)
