I had the same fear of toilets that (apparently) many people had; that is, I thought they were an embodiment of evil.

But I have an excuse. When I was about four, I had this really painful ear infection; thus, my ears were really sensitive, and everything sounded like it was about 5 times louder than it should be. Cue me using a toilet on an airplane for the first time. Now, for those of you who haven't flown on an airplane, when the toilet flushes, it creates suction to get rid of the... matter. Otherwise, if there's turbulence... well, you do the math. However, this suction makes a rather loud noise; to my sensitive ears, it felt like my head was going to explode. Thus my irrational fear of AIRPLANE toilets; I'm cool with the normal kind.

To this day, I make sure to wash my hands, unlock the door, etc., so I can come bursting out of the door the moment I flush the toilet.

When i was little i was deathly afraid of the noise our toilet would make. So i always ran out of the bathroom as fast as i could because i thought a fish would come out of our toilet. Well im not afraid of our toilet anymore but i do open the door before i flush any toilet.

I used to think that the Devil lived in the toilet and would be afraid to go to the bathroom, and when I finally would go I would constantly look down in the toilet bowl to see if the Devil was there ready to grab me and drag me down to Hell.

I used to believe that if I stayed on the toilet too long, the toilet witch would come and pull me down the toilet by the bottom. That got me off the loo lickity-split!

I used to believe if you flushed but still sat on the toilet for a while or didn't get up quick enough a hand would reach out and grab me. So after I was done I would run out the door screaming...my mom thought I was crazy!

When i wuz little i believed that when u flushed the toilet, it let ghosts out, and for the longest time i used to either not flush, or flush and run away frantically. But finally i came to the conclusion that there had to be some way to keep the ghosts in. and u kno those fans u turn on in bathrooms that like filter the air or somn?
Well, i thot that if i turnd it on while i flushed the toilet, it wood suck all the ghosts up. stupid, i know.

and the sad thing is i still turn on the fan wen i walk into the bathroom. i guess it jus became a habit. lol

When I was a little girl I always was afraid of people watching me. I was so afraid of going to the bathroom because I believed that the people in the sewer would swim up into the toilet and see me pooping/peeing on them.

i always thought that the noise the toilet made was the sounds of a gorilla coming out of the toilet, so i would run out as fast as i could when i flushed. even after i knew that it wasn't, i still played the game.

Once, I went to an aquarium and saw one of those eels that pokes out of holes in the rock. From then on, I was absolutely terrified of using the bog, for fear of eels swimming up the pipe, into me and eating me from the inside out! 0_o

When I was little I beleived if you flush the toilet it would swallow you down with the water. So whenever I got done using the bathroom, I never flushed the toilet because I was scared!!!!!
