Could you imagine if you had both naclophobia AND catoptrophobia?
Whenever you enter your bathroom, it's dark, so you get scared, panic, and turn on the
light. Once you turn on the light, you see the bathroom mirror. You're overcome with sheer terror.
You quickly turn the bathroom light off. But then it goes dark again! More terror!
Turn on the light, quick! OMG, it's that ****ing mirror again!
...it must be awful

I must admit that I don't see the connection between naclophobia and catoptrophobila.
I could see some problem with both suffering from aibohphobia and catoptrophobila; they may have the same underlaying cause.

Not really a phobia, but I have developed an associative disorder over the last decade or so...uncontrollable swearing triggered by my cellphone ringtone/notification alert. 
It's always someone needing something...or a bored, retired, broke brother-in-law for a daily therapy session.

What is the term for that? It could be phonophobia. Maybe telephobia?
I wonder if there is a phobia where you're terrified of your brain. What would that be called?

The closest may be agoraphobia or fear of loud noises, though it's not fear, but dread!

No, it's real, and the voices in my head hold a regular vote on our sanity (majority passes so far).
When I was little, being around large things like electrical towers and tall bridges was terrifying. We visited Natural Bridge State Park[^] and it was all I could do to walk across the middle, staring down at my feet. I think it might be related to acrophobia (fear of heights). Neither of them are debilitating for me now. In my case calling them a phobia probably isn't valid from a clinical point of view.

Oh, wow. Now I understand what it would be like. That's really interesting. Perceptions of the world at a time when you're very young put these phobias into better perspective. I'm still not fond of forklifts, but when I was 5, forklifts scared me.

Fear of other people’s code?

Holy cow. As I had guessed, there is an actual term used to describe
the fear of Christmas trees.
It's called Christougenniatiko dentrophobia.

I guess there must be different terms for fear of artificial plastic trees and natural trees from the forest

Ah, I think I've found a phobia that has no term!
When I was in kindergarten, I had a fear of dog food.
Yes, dog food itself was what frightened me.
I think I may have had a transient fear of dogs themselves,
but it's the dog food that I remember being
afraid of. As to why? I have no explanation.
OK, so we need to think up a term for this phobia.
I can't find anything using Google. Not even close to it.
I'm thinking of the term "cibus", which is Latin for the
word food is a good fit.
The term "canis" is Latin for the word, dog.
Let's see. How about Caniscibusophobia?
Yeah, I like that one.
I can now say that I am a proud survivor of caniscibusophobia.

No, you don't. To be a valid phobia it must be described in pig Latin or Greek.
