530.PhobiaAgoraphobia  fear of choice,  –  you may have to live with it.
Claustrophobia fear of being left alone because you’ve successfully alienated everyone around you.
Homophobia  fear of yourself.
Necrophobia  fear that the casket will not close because of your weight.

And a few of my own…

Rowphobia  a Catholic fear that only the front row is available.
Unionphobia  the fear that I’m not getting what other people are.
Righteousphobia  a fear that perhaps other people are not always wrong.
Airportphobia  the fear that you will actually stop and read the pamphlet condemning you to hell.
Cellphonephobia  the fear that everyone around you knows that you’re holding the phone just to show how unimportant and lonely you really are.
Sighphobia  the sigh that you emit during lunch to convince everyone how busy you really aren’t.
