Here are a few obscure and somewhat minor things that occasionally come to mind and worry me.
1. That there will be someone hiding in the bathtub behind the shower curtain
2. That my hair will catch on fire, probably while using the stove
3. That somehow one of my favorite shirts will get ruined.

This is more of a thing I wonder about: will I someday be watching Intervention (as I am now, writing this during a commercial break) and see someone I know on the show? Nobody plans on becoming a drug addict. It's possible. I do wonder.
Here is something that I doubt the person in question worries about, but if they knew that I think it would be interesting to dye their very real pale blonde hair a bright unnatural color, I think they would worry about it. That someone (me in particular) will dye their hair when they're not expecting it.
I also wonder if I will become a drug addict.
Edit: I just thought of a new thing that I have worried about in the past that would fit well on this list. I was watching a documentary on PTSD and I remembered thinking in the past that I worry if there will for some reason (which, let's be honest, is perhaps more likely in the current political climate) be another draft and I will have to be in the military. I don't want to be in the military. I don't want to end up like a female version of that poor translator character in Saving Private Ryan. Eek. I believe this is a (relevant) quote from Full Metal Jacket: "War is hell" and therefore I would not like to experience it firsthand as a solider. Maybe as a journalist, but certainly not as a member of the military. I will end this with another quote that I find rather memorable: "Signing up to get killed doesn't sound like much fun." Guess who said that! [Incidentally, the person who said it originally said it just about exactly 2 years ago to this day! Imagine that! 2 years ago we had a discussion about the military which included that quote. And me speculating on what compels people to join the military: "I think perhaps part of it is because men want to feel tough and macho and stuff and they think the army is a good embodiment of those qualities. And/or they're patriotic and want to fight for their country. Or, in other circumstances, they got drafted."]
