When I was little my grandfather would take my family camping on the 1000 Islands. One night when I was 5 he told us a scary story about the click-click-slide monster, a deformed woman with really long fingernails that she drags herself around on. From that point on, i got that thought that she lived in the outhouses on the island and she would reach her finger nails up and grap you if you sat down. That thought was probably put in my head by my grandfather, actually....

when i was young i would strategically hover above the toilet seat while using the loo (so as not to get sucked down by the 'toilet monster') also when i flushed the loo i would leg-it out of the bathroom when flushing the loo so as not to get sucked into the toilet and would wait until the gurgling stopped before i washed my hands

I used to believe that when you didnt look down while you were pooping, Michael Jackson's head waould appear in the toilet underneath you.

When we were little (I was 6 and my sister was 5) if I wanted to make my little sister do something she didnt want to do (e.g. do my work, give me her ice cream, let me play with her toys etc), I would storm off to the bathroom, hang my foot just above the toilet and say "if you dont do this, I'm gonna flush myself down the toilet, die and go away forever!"

The poor thing would believe that I would actually die and in her love for me, would do anything I asked her to...

Yeah I know it was mean...but still pretty brilliant for a 6 year old dont you think? I mean it did work didnt it???

I used to believe that the "things" do not go anywhere when I flush and they wait there to become a huge hand!!It would wait to be huge enough to come out and pull me into the toilet..!!However,I was always brave enough to flush :)

In the 70s, there were lots of reports of snakes and alligators in the sewers of New York. Yet, living in the Midwest, figured "why coulnd't it happen here?" I always had to get off the toilets quick so a snake wouldn't 'swim' up and bit me in the bottom.

When I was little, about 3 or so because I had to have been potty trained. I would not sit on black toilet seats in public restrooms. My mother would have to put her hands down on the seat and I would sit on her hands to go pee. To this day I don't know what was up with the black seat fear!!!!!

When i was little my twin brother once turned the light off( i was afraid to be in the dark by my self) and locked me in there with no T.P. Then yelled through the door the the sewer aligators are going to come up and eat me bottom first. the best part is... i still cannot go to the restroom in the dark!!! Thanks Bro!!!!!!!

When I was watching some show on the discovery channel about a little boy that had just gotten potty trained he woke up one morning and there was a snake in the toliet!!!! It had escaped from the zoo! So now whenever I use the bathroom a snake is gonna bit my butt!!

I used to be afraid of standing too near the toilet when I flushed it. I thought it could suck me down with the water.

When I was little I thought when i flushed the toilet if i didn't put the lid down before the water came back up the toilet would eat me, I also thought the toilet could talk.

When I was little I used to believe that lobsters lived in the toilet, and that one day I would have to go to the bathroom and there would be a lobster ready to pinch my butt.

I used to always look into the toilet before using it because I thought hat if I didn't look, a spider(a big, furry one) would come crawling out from the toilet and would bite me while I was on it. I don't know how I thought it lived in the water. lol
