fear of

When I was a little 5 or 6 year old, I wouldn't flush the toilet because I thought a monster would come up. When I got over that, I just used to flush and run away.

I was told that there was a half man half women creature called the Pinky Winky. and when u pissed in the urinal it would come cut off your penis. I have pissed in the toilet ever since

Scared Pissless

Once, when i was younger, i saw a show on TV where a snake got in the plumbing of an apartment building and came out the toilet while some kid was in the bathroom. I took the fastest poo's I could for awhile and I still think about it every once and awhile.

I watched an episode of Blue Peter at my Grandparents' house, and on it was a supposed "mummified mermaid."
It scared the heck out of me, and from then on, whenever I used the toilet I would be terrified that one of these demonic-looking mermaids would rise out of the toilet bowl and bite me on the bum.
I had to look down all the time, and be ready to jump up at any given moment, in case one apeared.

It took a long time to get over that.

My mum told me that if you eat while you're on the toilet, you're feeding the devil!

Whenever I flushed the toilet, particularly at night, I used to believe that a scary monster would come crawling out from the u-bend and chase after me and kill me, or something.

So consequently, I used to run like the wind as soon as I'd flushed the toilet and got back into my bed and pulled the covers over.

I used to believe that a Freddy Kreuger type serial killer would come and get me through the toilet and tear me into little bits. As a consequence I used to barely perch on the loo and would run from the bathroom the very second I had pulled the chain. Nobody ever did launch themselves at me from the around the u-bend so I eventually forgot this fear until, when I was 15, I happened to watch an episode of the X-Files where a serial killer called Eugene attempts to do exactly this to a nice lady. Subsequently, I never linger in bathrooms.

My dad told me that if I didn't flush the toilet after taking a dump, then the turd
would come alive and kill me while I slept.

Trey

My sister told me that if you had sweetcorn in your poo, you had six months to live! I cried for weeks

Billy

I was sure there were mosters lurking in our toilet...

Up until I was about 7 or 8 I used to believe that when you went to the loo at night after all the family were asleep tigers would rush out of the bowl and try to eat you as soon as you flushed it. Used to drive my dad mad when he'd find a full bowl as he prepared for work.

When I was about 5, a teenage babysitter allowed me to watch The Hunchback of Nore Dame and then terified me by telling me that i would grow a hunchback if I sat slouched too long on the toilet.For ages afterwards I was traumatised by every answer to nature's call.

I used to believe that the big, bad wolf lived in the toilet and he'd bite me if I was still on when I flushed it

Ralf Wenniks

I used to believe that if I went to our outside loo alone the Daleks would get me. My big brother would wait until I was mid pee then run off.

Rachel

That the "Childcatcher" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang would come up the toilet + catch me while I was on it.

Kat

When I was little, I believed that wolf is watching me from the window when I'm in the loo (toilet).

When I was a boy I used to have to get halfway down the stairs to the middle landing before the toiilet stopped flushing or the monsters would get me.
