I used to believe that a monster lived in our plumbing, under the bathroom, and ate everything that went down the drains. Sometimes the plumbing would make a sound that sounded like a burp when the bathtub was draining, and I thought it was the monster burping. I thought that if I flushed the toilet when I was still on it, it would reach through the drain and grab me. Even when I was old enough to know better, I still flushed the toilet with my foot from across the room (and then darted out the door) well into adolescence.

I used to believe that a vampire was in the toilet and if you did not get off quick he would bite your but.

when i was little, i was afraid to use the bathroom because my older bro and sis told me that when i had to pee, little green men in the toilet would jump up and bite my "pee pee" and when i had to poo, there was a snake that would jump and bite my butt.

The first nightmare I ever had was when I was about 4. I dreamed that I had cut a hole in the toilet, + all the waste products from the sewers came rushing out + flooded the house, but I managed to solve this problem by feeding it mints + generally being freindly to it.
For many years after this, I believed I had to befreind each toilet I used, otherwise it might overflow. This involved saying 'hello, how are you? Would you like a drink?' before using a public toilet, + I was conviced that some of them replied. (don't ask).
though this did take quite a while, + I would only use public toilets that I'd used before, in case the ones next to it thought I'd gone off them + made freinds with someone else. that would make them very upset, + they'd overflow.
This went on until I was about 9 or 10.

When I was younger I used to think that there was a severed hand in the toilet because I watched this show where these college students stole one from a science class to play a prank on their friend. I still check the inside of the toilet before I sit down just incase.

When I was a kid I always thought that at night if the toilet lid wasn't shut burglars would sneak in to the house through the toilet!

When I was little(around 5),I was supposed to close the bathroom door after I came out of the bathroom so my dog wouldn't drink out of the toilet or anything. But I thought the door had to be closed so that the monster that sucks up the stuff in the toilet wouldn't suck me up too, and when I heard the flushing noise, I thought it was growling at me.

When I was around 6, my Grandmother told us that snakes would come up from the toilet at her house. So, for years I would try to go as fast as I could and sometimes even try to look and make sure one did come up to get me! Still to this day when I am at her house, the thought will cross my mind and I don't know whether to laugh or "finish as fast as I can"!

When I was little I used to believe that if you didn't make it to the living room before the toilet finished flushing something would get me. I still run outta habit though...

Ever since I watched the movie "IT" (The evil clown movie) I was scared to death of using the toilet! I would go as fast as possible because for some reason I thought that the clown would drag me into the toilet! I still rugh my self when I'm in the bathroom! Same thing when I'm taking a shower, I'm terrified of being dragged into the drain!

My Grandson is afraid to flush the toilet because he thinks that his poop will come alive and turn into Mr. Poo from Southpark.

I am totally serious, he is 8 years old and refuses to flush.

I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet, you had to run out of the bathroom and touch the vase that was in the hallway. But it had to be done before the toilet finished flushing, or you would die in your sleep that night. I did this for years. I'm almost 30 now, and I still wait until the last second to flush the toilet so I can leave the room before it finishes.

I watched this X-Files episode in which this really scary white slimy worm-man crawled through the sewers and attacked people. I was ten at the time and for weeks afterwards wouldn't go to the bathroom unless my mom or dad stood by the door. To this day I get a little creeped out when I flush a toilet, especially if I'm alone or at a rest stop.

I remember watching an episode of The Simpsons when I was about 5. In it, a big grey building was demolished: it just blew up and fell into itself. I believed that flushing the tiolet would cause my house to do the same thing, so I would flush and sprint outside. Funny that I never warned my parents or sister, I just ran for my own life.

I used to believe that when you sit down in a porty potty there would be snakes that come and bite your butt. Now, when I use one (Rarely) I believe that someone will come and push it down. (Ever since I watched viva la bam and they pulled that stunt.)

When I was little I used to believe that when I went to the bathroom there were monsters hiding in the shower so before I sat down on the toilet I had to open the shower curtains and make sure there was nothing hiding in there. I also believed if I sang while I was on the toilet it would keep the monsters happy and they wouldnt eat me.

I wouldn't flush the chain until I was about seven and this would really annoy my parents. But I couldn't tell them it was because the sound of the flush was the sign for the monsters who lived behind the water tank on the landing that I was alone upstairs and they could come out and grab me and I would have to live in the world that existed behind the airing cupboard.

I used to believe that when you sat on the toilet, there would be a knife that stabbed your butt if you put to much toiletpaper in it, and if they didn't have a knife, they'd use a shark to bite you, and if they didn't have that, they'd get a clown and it would grab you down the toilet.
