fear of

After watching Gremlins as a kid and seeing the part where the Gremlin comes up the Tiolet while a man was sitting on it I have forever since had problems sitting on toilets! I am now 26 and still have horrible thoughts that one will come and bite my ass!

I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet, monsters would chase after you so I would run out of the bathroom as soon as I flushed.

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

I used to have to hover over toilet seats after I saw the movie Gremlins because I thought one was going to bite me.

I used to believe that after flushing the toilet, if I did not run and jump on my bed before the flushing stopped, something bad would happen.

I was TERRIFIED of public toilets. But there is a reason. When I was very young, I had a terrible dream that I went to use a restroom in a Chinese restaurant, and there was a giant toilet that flushed and swallowed me up. Then when I told my parents, my dad thought it was funny and confirmed that toilets will swallow me. I wasn't afraid of the toilets at home, because I knew they had never swallowed anyone, but public restrooms terrified me because they flush so loudly and with great force. I would hold it often until I wet myself. But somehow, I thought the toilet wouldn't swallow me if I was with someone. So in elementary school, I was often escorted to the bathroom.

i used to believe that if you sat on the toilet in a storm the lightning could come up through the pipes and get you. I thought that it was the same as when adults would say don't talk on the phone in a storm. Apparently not.
But i remember being terrified to use the toilet during a storm.

when i was little, i used to think that when i sat down to use the toilet that snakes would come through the sewer lines and bite me in the butt. consequently, i tried to use the toilet as fast as i could!!! ha ha ha

i used to think that when i pulled the chain on the loo a man use to jump out and get me so he could get more poo and wee out of me to eat. hey i was only young!

When I was small, my friend told me there's alligators living in the sewers. I reckoned the alligators must be very small in order to be flushed down the toilets. I have a fear that the tiny alligators will come out of the toliet while i'm doing my business and bite me. I had a hard time doing my business after that. I look down into the toilet everytime I'm doing my business ever since, until 4th grade.

i used to go to the bathroom as quickly as i could because i was afraid that there was a snake just sitting in the toilet pipes, waiting for me to go and that it would come out and bite my butt if i didn't get off quick enough.

this mainly came from my older cousin telling me that snakes could get into a house by any little hole or entering in the wall or pipes. and also that snakes were afraid of the dark.

snake attack....

I used to believe that when the toilet was flushed, ghost came out of it. After I was finished going I would make sure every thing was i place before I flushed so I could run as fast as I could out of the bathroom.
I don't believe in the ghost thing anymore, but flushing the toilet is still the last thing I do. I guess habits die hard.

toilets really scared me when i was little i aways thought when i went to take a wee and i flushed i would go down with it.

Still to this day i cannot go to the toilet with a window open because i think there are people looking in, i have even given these people names Aoife and Jason

When I was little, I heard a news story about someone finding a snake in their toilet. I used to be afraid to use the toilet thinking a snake would come and bite me (ok I still do once in a while, especially porta potties). Hard to forget!

When I was a little kid I always hated going poop. This is because my best friend told me that while sitting on the toilet, a little "butt monster" would come up and jump to bite my butt. Sometimes I still think about it for a good laugh.

Anon

I used to belive that when ever I sat on the toilet And did a big long poo a monster would come up and bite my bum so I quickley did my bussines and flushed and ran off!

Danny

When I was younger, after I went to the bathroom I wouldn't wash my hands, because I thought after you flushed the toilet, it would wake up the monsters that lived under the toilet, and they would come out. So, after I flushed the toilet, I would run out of the bathroom. I must've had bad hygiene...

Laura

when i was little my grandpa told me that an allogator would come out of the tolet when i was sitting on it and would bite my but off!i bleved him until i was about 9! until then i always looked down to c if a allogator was there so i could still have an ass!

When I was a little kid, I used to think that when you flushed the toilet, alligators came up and ate your doo-doo.
