I could never deal with Missedeadlinephobia Nov 28, 2017

I guess I could handle any of the aforementioned phobias, but... missing a deadline SERIOUSLY affects my professional reputation, my state of mind, my soul and my mental health!

Definitely Missedeadlinephobia Nov 28, 2017

I fully agree with you, Romina, I cannot think of anything worse! I'm surprised so few people voted for it

And, invariably, they start with that super-friendly opener of all openers - "Hi, translator".
Makes you feel like Baskin-Robbins' Flavor of the Month, right?

In a true Grinch-like spirit, I sometimes use the receipt of such greetings as an occasion to ask the agency in question to remove me from their database.

No client Dec 5, 2017

Actually Nojobophobia, although we have plenty of regular clients.

A big phobia not mentioned in the list: Concealedreviserphobia - your translation is submitted to a reviser but you never see the undue changes they made. Yous beautiful job is sent to the client full of undue changes, and you are the one blamed for it.
