I think it's interesting how narrow some phobias can be. Like, I have a fear of needles, and don't like shots, IVs, or even having my finger pricked for a blood sample. But at the same time, I don't think I have any phobia of getting a tattoo (although I've never gotten one, so who knows). Same thing with heights. I have no interest whatsoever in sky diving or bungee jumping, but I'd have no problem paragliding, and love going out on high bridges, ledges, and rooftops. Really, it's more a fear of free-falling than a fear of heights.
Oh, and I hate hate hate large fold-out wooden tables, but that's not a phobia. That's from when I got my finger stuck in one, had all the skin pinched off of the end, and was in excruciating pain for hours. I think I've earned that fear and don't consider it irrational.
