I used to believe that if you flushed the toilet in a public bathroom a monster would jump out from inside it and gobble you up. I think I saw someone come out from a tiolet in a movie once.....

my mom was cleaning the bathroom and i asked her if a friend could come over. she said yea so she called and asked. my friend wasnt allowed she was grounded, i was like 6 not knowing what that ment i thought she said "drowned" so i looked into the toilet thinking her body would float up. i was scared of the toilet for a while until i finally saw my friend.

When i was little my mum used to read the newspaper to me. Well one day she read me some article about sewage, and how rat infested it was. I asked what sewage was, and she said it was what ur poops turned into. From then on i was scared to go to toilet cos i thought rats lived in it, and that they would bite my bum while i was going to toilet. My brothers has to sit in the bathroom with me while I pooed cos i was so sacred of something happening to me! POOR them!

i used to be scared to flush the toilet becaus i thought that a ghost or monster would come out of it. so every time i flushed i would run out of the bathroom.

I used to flush the toilet and jump up and run out and slam the doot because my Dad told me that the "flusher" was the toilet monsters doorbell.

When I was young and in a public toilet, I always had to finsh going, get ready to leave, and open the door before I flushed the toilet. To this day I still don't know why.

When I was younger, I was scared of going to the toilet, as I believed that an evil witch (dressed up in the traditional pointy hat and all) wuld rise up from the toilet (even tho I was sitting on it) and poke me in the bum with her wand and then cackle. Therefore, I wuld go as fast as I could and sprint out.

When I was little, around 10, I used to think that portable toilets were scary. Because one day I was at one of my little brothers baseball games and I had to go to the bathroom. So on my way to the potty, this boy around 16 or 17 came over and told me that there were snakes that lived in the porta john. He also told me that the snakes would come out and bite you in the butt when you went to pee. So every time after that till I was about 13 or 14 I would check for snakes every time I went to go to the potty in a porta john.

wen i was little (n stil a bit now) im scared ov da toliet i wud flush it and run out wivout turnin ov da light lol :D

scared ov toliets n proud

When I was little I always made sure i was completely done using the bathroom before I flushed the toilet so I could run out the second had done it...
The reason was that I had been watching too much television and believed that flushing the toilet would call the monster from this finnish children's show I loved.I kept imagining this "Hufsa"(as the monster was called) rising out of the toilet and following me around, turning everything on her path into ice. I was really scared.

argh!

When I was a toddler my older brothers ruined my potty training. They told me that there was a monkey living in the toilet and that it was going to bite my butt. That scared the heck out of me. I refused to use the toilet for a long time after that!

I used to believe that if you didn't flush right after you pooped,a giant snake would come up and try to bite your butt.I always made sure to flush.

scared shitless

i recall one afternoon i was at the mall with my twin brother and grandma. As it was i was always afraid that the escilator would eat me (this could be because my brother called it the alligator).One time he actually got me to ride it instead of the elivator and that one time it caught my shoe lase and scared me to death. later that night we got home and i walked into the bathroom and was doing my busness when my loving bro came in and turned off the light and told me that the alligater was goin to eat me, butt first. needless to say i sat on the potty screaming till my sister came up to calm me down.

that was nearly 10 years ago and to this day i still cannot walk into any bathroom without the lights on.
