Just fear of heights & fear of inside hospitals...the rest, like public speaking/socialising is more like anxiety related rather than outright fear...I think...

Electricity. Seriously. I get nervous even turning off the bathroom light when I've washed my hands because I'm afraid that the residual water on my hands will conduct electricity (but I know how light switches work and I know that this is highly unlikely)

My car battery was really iffy last winter, and my husband kept trying to tell me to jiggle some cable on it... but I just wouldn't go anywhere because I refused to touch it. He finally gave in and took care of it for me.

Well I have a lot of fears as well..I guess you could call them phobias.
I have a fear of dying, fear of heights, fear of being around people at times, fear of being left alone and no one coming back, fear of hosptials, fear of germs..yeah I guess I have a lot of fears. I also have a major fear of bugs..like spiders and those nasty things! >.<
