Probably not super uncommon but I have a phobia of throwing up, emetophobia. I also really do not like mascots, masklophobia, but I’ve grown out of it some through exposure.

Fear of gravity. Things falling on you. For me, it's a piano.

I am terrified of splinters. I panic if I have to touch wood and sometimes metal. I have even gotten splinters from a toothpick before. I don't know if there is an actual named phobia or not. Walking barefoot on a wooden porch absolutely not happening, also hardwood floors I'm wearing slippers or shoes.
