Ooh! Just remembered one!
Out for a beer with a mate, and at one point a young lady joined our table to wait for her 'friend'. She seemed like a good laugh, so imagine my disappointment when her stupid but unarguably good-looking (the bastard) 'friend' arrived. The best bit was when he said 'See, a light year is like a normal year, but it's a lot longer...' and she nodded like she didn't know he was talking arse: a beautiful moment, and I just about managed not to choke on my pint.

Carrot Tax
I can't take the credit for this one, but a friend managed to convince another mutual friend that if you want to post any fruit or vegetables in the UK, then you have to pay "Carrot Tax".
I did manage to (briefly) convince the same chap that guinea pigs used to travel in packs in the wild & could devour a cow in two minutes, though, which helps.

One of our subcontractors at work
is called Emerson Tacoma.
He's Canadian.
I want to steal his name and keep it all for myself.

Oh god, I just remembered this...
People wearing a monk's habit. With the hood up.
Thing is, I know *exactly* why this used to terrify me (I seem to be over it now): it was a spooky episode of Bergerac featuring the aforementioned Chap in Hooded Habit, and one of those books of 'real' ghost pictures including ghostly images of the same. This might be why I only watched 'The Name of the Rose' recently...

I have the same static problem as shinysun
although it only happened after I bought my cheap and nasty new work shoes; the stupid thing is that I keep forgetting about it, so every metal surface is now a potential deathtrap.
OK, so it's not a fear yet, but it's getting that way - otherwise I'm completely well adjusted; oh, except that I find old people and children unsettling. But that's it.
edit: And walking on wet seaweed. And biting wool. And that's all - nothing else.
