I have 2 fears, the first one is lifts, i am terrified of them, i always take the stairs instead, especially at work, the lifts look so much bigger and frightening!
My second fear is fog, i hate being outside in it and was once caught in a really dense fog while driving, i ended up taking refuge at a service station until it lifted.
Your fear of lifts is actually good for you because you get more exercise climbing stairs. It helps you keep fit.

I can see why you're afraid of fog too. You can't see where you're going well enough for safety to be guaranteed in the sense of preventing accidents.

I've got a question. Hippophobia is the fear of horses. What is the name for the fear of hippos?

Slight edit, there are actually 2 names for the fear of horses as I've just found out. Hippophobia from the Greek prefix for horse which is hippo & equinophobia from the name for the equine family of animals.
