Aside from the rather boring fear of spiders and pretty much any kind of insect (including butterflies), I am also terrified of peel-open cans, like someboy else said here, and getting my finger-/toenails harmed. A bit of my fingernail broke off the other day, leading to about one drop of blood and a tiny scratch, and I started shaking and freaking out - it was pretty ridiculous, considering that I have no problem with larger injuries on some other body part. Also, I'm not hugely afraid of it, but I don't really touch my own eye, and I hate watching people put in or take out their contact lenses. In a hotel room, I never choose the bed/side closer to the door, and if I do, I can't sleep with my back to it. Last but not least, I hate knowing that something that will make me jump (and I'm very jumpy) is going to happen in a moment, for example, when you walk up the stairs and you know someone else is there, or you know someone might come into your room any second, or a car might drive by outside in the middle of the night, or when you watch a scary movie (which I hardly ever do). If I anticipate that, I make sure that my feet are off the ground, because for some reason, that feels safer than having them on the ground (e.g. while watching a scary movie).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
