Its definitely spiders for me. Little tiny ones are fine, I let them crawl over my hands. The ones with small bodies and long thin non-hairy legs are fine too. I actually like those. But the fat hairy ones get something heavy dropped on them lol. And if its bigger than an inch, I'm no longer in the room!

The toe monster that lives under my bed. 
I also fear change. Mostly nickels and dimes, but I get queasy around quarters as well.
Outside of that, and on a more mundane note, I have serious issues with hogs. I do not trust them due to an unfortunate encounter a few years ago on a friends farm

As I stated in DW's thread, my irrational fear is snakes, because one almost fell on me. I grew up with a creek behind my house, my grandfather had it enlarged and made a beach, and we all swam there. I can remember moving out of the way for the occasional water moccasin to swim past and never thinking twice about it. Now, during warm months, I won't even walk back to look at the creek for fear that I will see a snake!!

I like snakes and spiders, but have an irrational fear of people. It's not as bad nowadays, but a few years ago it was quite limiting.

Fire is one of mine. Not like campfire, but like a fire in a car, or a house, that I cant get out of. Mainly a car. I can find a way out of a building, unless its brick, and I could probably still get out then.
Oh, STYROFOAM!! 
@Tony: WD40 and a match might be fn with those spiders . . .

Fear of losing my ID-card/ having my identity stolen (couldn't think of any good reason why you would do that but...).

I fear exploding teeth. Ya know, when you take a sip of hot coffee and bite into an ice-cream cone a second later. When it's hot, it shrinks and when it's cold it expands, I fear that I'll have shrunken my teeth too much and when I go for that coffee, BLAMMO!

I don't have any irrational fears at all. No phobias, nothing I avoid out of fear except things that are actually dangerous, like drugs, polar bears, man eating shark species or riding a bike without a helmet on.
I used to have a mild spider and beetle phobia when I was a kid, but I got rid of it after a I had performed a one-week self-exposure treatment on myself. (Although at the time, I had no idea it was exposure treatment I was doing).

) but anything the size of or larger than an Eisenhower dollar is going to reduce me to a to a jittering wreck. Ones smaller than that that are noticeably hairy or just really dark and solid in build also bother me: I know that's a weird description, but for example the large, spindly Daddy Long-Legs type never bother me no matter how big they are (they look fragile) but the ones like Wolf Spiders just... Euuugh.*quakes* That's not even mentioning the fact that Wolf Spiders are very good jumpers...
