I think a lot of these things aren't actually phobias. A phobia is an irrational fear, whilst most of the things people are posting are rational (eg deep water, pain, snakes).

There are phobias of snakes, deep water, etc. What make phobia different from a fear is that it is irrational like you said, but that means the length people go to to avoid certain things.

Definitions:

fear P Pronunciation Key (fîr)
n.
A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger.
A state or condition marked by this feeling: living in fear.
A feeling of disquiet or apprehension: a fear of looking foolish.
Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power.
A reason for dread or apprehension: Being alone is my greatest fear.

pho·bi·a P Pronunciation Key (fb-)
n.
A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.
A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.

Hopefully that helpd...
