When I was younger I use to think that if i sat on the toilet, a giant alligator would bite my rump. It was quite embarassing when I got into my teens and was still afraid to sit on the tiolet.

I used to think that there was some kind of toliet creature in the toliet, and everytime you sat down on the toliet you were at risk of getting your butt bitten off, i'm still scared of the toliet monster when i'm going to the bathroom at a really run-down place

when i was probably like, 4, my babysitter told me about the "toilet monster" who lived in the toilet and came out whenever you flushed the toilet. i never flushed the toilet for years.

When I was a small girl, I believed when I sat on the toilet, someone would grab my butt from underneath. try going to the toilet watching "down there" so you knew for sure nothing would "get you there"

One day we were driving from Fairbanks, Alaska to Anchorage and on the way there aren't very many gas stations so they have lots of portal potties along they way. When I was going to use it my brother told me that I should be careful because the raccoons might jump up and slash my behind so I have never used a portal potty since.

Scared stupid

When I was about 5, this sudden notion came over me that when I flushed, the toilet was going to overflow, so I would therefore have to go and ask someone (usually my mom and dad) if it was okay to flush the toilet.

I think this came from one time when the neighbor girl was over, and she would use unusually large wads of toilet paper even when she peed. One of her wads probably plugged up the toilet and it overflowed.

for a buncha years...i thought that when you flushed the toilet ghosts would fly out...hahaha..so id wash my hands and then id flush it and RUN TO MY ROOM!!! and close the door and be scared for hours!! then i'd come out and avoid the bathroom at all costs..
(difficult times i had then..)

shimmy!

I thought Doc Croc from "Round the Bend" was going to pop up out of the toilet.

Spacey

i used to believe that if i didn't get out of the bathroom by the time the toilet was done flushing then a big spooky green hand would reach out of the toilet and eat me all up. gobble gobble. No wonder my hands were always dirty. ;)

I was afraid that a snake, or a rat would pop up because I'd heard that in a book from school. The following afternoon, I peed on the floor.

I believed that a toilet had someone living in it when I was very little.
