fear of

When i was little my dad would tell me that if i flushed the toilet i would kill all the fish in our fishtank, because the two were connected. I beleived this for a longt ime until my mom made my father tell me he was joking, i was still scared to flush so everytime i did i got a package of M&M's

I used to always belived that my toilet had bombs in it because of the sounds that I heard after I flushed it. After I flushed, I'd always run to the room I was in before to get away from the explosion.

When I first sat on the toilet, I thought that i felt myself slip and I thought i was going to fall into the toilet and drown so i grabbed the toilet seat. I always made sure to grab the toilet seat when i went to the bathroom. it became a habit so i still did it even after i didn't believe that anymore. i finally stopped in the fourth grade.

When I was little, I used to believe that some creepy octopus would pop out of the toilet whenever I flushed it. So whenever I had to pee, I would flush the toilet ,and run out of the bathroom and into my room, jump onto my bed, and hide under the covers.

I used to be terrified of using the bathroom at night, because I believed that there was a witch lady in the mirror and if you looked at her she would find a way of killing you by morning. Also, if you sit completely on the toilet seat with no air gaps no matter how small you will get sucked down into the toilet and drown.

i used to think that toilets had a claw in them and if i stayed on for too long the claw would grab my butt or something else..so i never pooped in the toliet...instead i pooped in the bath tub. keep in mind i was a young child, not a grown adult

i had a terrible fear of flushing the toilet of the airplane becuz of the loud suction sound. i believed it was strong enough to suck me in and throw me out of the plane! i know it won't now, but i still hate the sound!

when i was about 6 i saw aligators in the sewear(sp?) in cartoons and my mom would tell me that its connected to every toilet and so she said if i dont hurry up from using the bathroom the aligators would try to drag me down threw the hole thing by biting my butt.

i used to think anytime you took a dump at night that the turd would turn into some kind of monster and shove crap in your mouth until you turned into a turd yourself haunting anyone who dared to take a dump in the middle of the night.thats corrupted i was as a young child.

When I was little and until I was about 11 I always thought in hte toilets at K-Mart a dog or somehting was gonna eat me when I flushed so as soon as I hit the lever I ran as fast as I could I got alot of weird look and I also thought that at Wal-Mart I actually ran into hte wall a few times. I also belived at home if you used the toilet during a storm your butt would get electracuted or a monster or some odd creature would jump out and hurt me.

Umm too embarrased to say

When I was a small boy, I used to believe there were spiders in the toilets.

I used to believe a snake would come out the hole in toilets. I watched before sitting.

When my sister was 3 I told her that whenever she flushed the toilet, the sound that it made was from a giant water monster that would suck everything down the bowl, and if she was too close it would suck her down too.

The revenge for this of course was that for the next 8 years she didn't flush the toilet. She's now 16 and still needs to open the door run to the tank press the button and sprint out of the room.

i thought the gurgling toilets made(when flushed) was a monster sucking up the water, and if that didn't make him full, he would jump out and eat me!!!

for some reason i still belive this......how stupid is that!?!?

When i was little i used to belive that when you flushed a toliet in a public place that a vampire would come out and kidnap you and take you back with him into the toilet. i belive that till i was about 8.

I used to believe that if i sat on the toilet for too long, this witch that lived in the drain would come up and scratch me on the bum

I used to think that if I stayed around and waited for the toilet to finish flushing then a monster would come out and chase me so i would have to run into my room before the toilet got done flushing! I also had to check behind the shower curtains so there was no murderer behind them!
