When I was young, in the early sixties, I used to believe that snakes lived in the outhouse at my aunt's house. I even had the heebie jeebies if I thought about it while sitting on a flush toilet since I had lived in Florida when I was 6-8 and had heard the alligator in the sewer stories. I never could quite convince myself they weren't true.

I used to beleive that a vampire lived in my toilet.

For some reason, the sound of a flushing toilet always scared me more at night than in the daytime, so when I had to go to the bathroom at night, I'd either go without flushing, and promise myself I'd do it first thing in the morning, or flush it and run as fast as I could to my room!

I used to believe that when the toilet was flushed, the loud noise was a monster growling at me. I would run as fast as I could to my bedroom and hide under the bedclothes until the noise stopped.

Bradley

i used to believe that toilets came to life at night

When I was about six or seven, I used to believe that if I sat on the toilet while it flushed it would suck me in. So every time, I would finish doing my business, then stand about three feet away from the toilet. The moment I flushed the toilet, I would run as fast as I could out of the bathroom. I only found out about a year later from my mom who reassured me that it was physically impossible for the toilet to suck me in.

i used to think that lobsters would come out and pinch your butt if you weren't careful while you went to the bathroom.

When I was 5 our toilet once got clogged and it made a loud noise. When it was fixed I was so scared to use the toilet the next day because I believed that it would explode and kill me when I flushed it.

when i was little i always went to the shitter with my teddy. one day when i was watching my waste go down the toilet i accidentaly dropped teddy into the bowl. i screamed as i watched teddy go round and round and finally disappear. i was so afriaid that next time i flushed id fall too and be sucked down the hole that i held my bodily functions for a week. lets just sat there were a few "accident" and by few i mean alot. my mom though i had memory loss and forgot toilet training.

I often would watch (and still do) horror movies as a kid. They would scare the hell out of me and I hated going to the toilet in the middle of the night in case a werewolf/Freddy Krueger/Rex Harrison's character in Midnight Lace would get me.

When I was really small I thought that unless you put ya fingers in ya ears when you flushed, you'd be sucked down b/c the toilet would know you were listening. So I used to flush with my elbow, keep my fingers in my ears and then run as far away from the loo as poss until the flushing stopped so i could wash my hands.

I don't quite know when it started, but I was scared that lobsters would bite my butt. I'm 23 now, and sometimes, if I'm using the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I'm half-asleep, I'll get really nervous and scared and think that lobsters are in the toilet bowl, and they're going to bite my butt.

Cheryl

I thought that there was a snake in the toilet

My grandfather was fastidious about keeping the toilet seat down (yeah, I know...odd for a guy...) and would give us a hard time if we left the lid up. He said it was 'cause rats come up out of the toilet and get into the house. I'm still not sure about that one? Anyone wannna confirm that??? I kept the lid down from then on, however.

I used to get really scared when the toilet filled right up with water when too much toilet paper was in it, so much so, that I would run out and leave it like that for some unsuspecting bursting member of my family. To this day, when the toilet does that i really do "crap" myself (Pardon the Pun)

Aidan

When I was about 4 or 5 I saw a Tv show where was sucked into the toilet and ended up in a mad scientist's lab. Of course, after that I was terrified of going to the bathroom and the few times that I didn't wet my pants I would go and then run out of the room screaming without even flushing.

Anon

When i was younger i use to believe that everytime you flush the toliet a ghost would come out so everytime i flush the toliet i hurried and ran out of the bathroom!!
