Petrophobia

Fear of rocks. Commonly triggered by Minecraft builds, which use cheap blocks like stone, cobblestone, etc. (anything stone related/grey). The grey hue of rocks makes buildings look dull, unattractive, depressing, cheap and lazy. Usually the viewer suffers from this disorder, not the builder themselves. The stone dominant builds are common in survival medieval builds.

Alternative spelling: Petraphobia/Pietraphobia
"I can't believe in this day and age, people still think that cobblestone is the only building material there is" -"Dude, why do you have to be so petrophobic?"

Patient:"I don't know what's wrong doc. Whenever I see my kids play Minecraft I get sad"
Doctor: "Ok, I will schedule you for a petrophobia test"

Pactophobia

The persistent fear or anxiety of not securing the absolute best possible deal, price, bargain, or agreement in a purchase, negotiation, or transaction. This often manifests as obsessive comparison shopping, decision paralysis, regret after buying, or an inability to commit even when a good offer is available, driven by the dread of "missing out" on something better.
"Her pactophobia is out of control — she spent two hours on Black Friday refreshing pages because she was terrified of not getting the best deal on those headphones."
