Putting air in tires. I imagine the tire blowing up and tearing me to shreds, allowing me to bleed out while in intense pain on my driveway floor.

I know this is irrational fears, but the tire thing...watch a few youtube videos of tires being seated on their bead. It's a hell of a lot more pressure than you adding some in your garage. They can take a huge amount of stress and don't blow up. I've mounted thousands of tires on rims, never had one incident, though they still scare the crap outa me half the time they POP on.
