There are some pretty odd phobias out there.
Like Barophobia (the fear of gravity) and Cibophobia (the fear of food).
My favorite has to be Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, which is the fear of long words.

phobialist.com/There's an entire list of them here. Quite a few odd one. Logizomechanophobia- Fear of computers and Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - Fear of the number 666. I think sometimes they just shove a bunch of words together and add phobia to the end.

Same here, but they are still amusing to read. Then again, there might actually be somebody who is afraid of long words.
