fear of

I used to believe that if I was too close to the toilet when flushing it, I would get sucked in. I would typically get as far away from the toilet as possilbe after flushing.

Up untill i was 10 years old i was fearfull of toilets. i thought that when you flushed, the water would suck you down along with...you know. So one day in my 4th grade class there was a new girl, Mellony. (i later found that she had the same fear as me) so she and i went into the girls bathroom, and there was a stall that we thought was haunted. My new friend dared me to go to the bathroom inside of the "haunted" stall. even though i was afraid, i was known for being a dare devil and taking risks (yeah, right) so with fear i slowly eased into the stall. little did i know that Mellony was not so nice she shut the door and leened against it so i couldnt get out! She said that once i flushed it i could get back out, just i she was saying this i screetched so loud that three teachers rushed into the bathroom two of which were male. they asked why my friend was leening against the door, she later was taken to the principals office for scaring a child (ewwww she in trouble now, she leened agaisnt a bathroom door, GASP) i was let free and still remained fearful of toilets untill i was 11.

when i was about four my brother told me that a monster would bite your butt of when you went to the bathroom after four in the afternoon, because of him i would always rush to the bathroom before then.

I used to believe that there was a troll in the toilet, and so I look before I pooed, and I would get up every five seconds to check!

I used to believe a snake was going to come out of the toilet and bite my butt. So i would get off the toilet as fast as possible to not get bit.

My cousins and I and my thirteen year old aunt would hang out together all the time. We lived with each other for a while. Once we were at my grand-pa's while he was at work. My aunt had just seen the Leprechaun movie and was scared to go into the bathroom. So she actually went outside and took a poo in the bush. My grand-pa had to clean it up.

I had to be back in bed before the toilet finished flushing, or a hand would come out, grab me and pull me down.

it was like two weeks before we sold our house. i was five and my brother was three. we had a problem with our upstairs toilet. it would work fine except for the fact that an air bubble would form and it would make a huge POP. so one morning me and my mom and i were in the living room and my brother woke up and used the bathroom. we hear the flush and the POP. all of a sudden, we hear my brother scream AAHHH THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE POTTY!!!!! (he apparently forgot the problem my dad had explained the other night) so he tries to come downstairs with my mom and me where we are watching . my mom was afraid that one of her kids would end up being a sleep walker and sense our bedrooms were on the top floor she had this saftey gate at the top of the stairs. it was really hard to get open. well my brother is so afraid that he forgets how to open the gate so he flings himself over it and he rolls head over heels doing somersaults down the stairs. he wouldnt use the upstairs toilet untill we mooved into our new house in fear of the monster in the potty.

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!

When I was little, I thought that there were snakes in the toilet and everytime I went to the bathroom I would look to make sure. Well I still have a habit of looking before I sit down and I am twenty years old!!

A lot of people seem to have had the belief that if you didn't run out of the bathroom before the toilet was done flushing, a ghost/monster/vampire would appear. I did, too. I wonder where this sort of belief comes from?

i used to believe that there is a shark in the toilet that would bite me if I sat to long on the toilet.Then I read on the one toilet and it sed Shires Cobra and then I thought there was an Cobra also in the toilet.

When I was young, I used to run out of the bathroom whenever I flushed the toilet. But I was only scared of the school toilets. I always ran out of the bathroom whenever I flushed. But once when I was running out of the bathroom, I ran into an older girl. She asked me if I was running from the vampire that lived in the toilet, and I screamed no and sprinted back to my classroom. After that I was afraid that an evil vampire lived in the school toilets. But I didnt want to have to run out of the bathrooms again, so I never went to the bathroom in school ever again. But I wouold have to run home from the bus stop because I had to go so badly. To this day, if I am in a school, I dont go to the bathroom in there.

I used to think that I would be sucked into the toilet. Mostly a fear of airplane toilets because those type run on suction. I figure ones at home were the same.

What I remember is that...when I was little, my sister told me scary stories of things set in a bathroom. There was one story about this huge evil mouth coming out of the toilet. SO when I had to potty, I pottied as fast as I can. Then I ran out of the bathroom.

I used to think that at skool, when someone flushed the toilet, if you took a drink from the drinking fountain than you were drinking their wastes.

I like the yellow water

I had the wierdest fear of flushing toilets in public bathrooms. There was no reason really.. but the noise scared me so I would flush and then try to run out by the sink where it was "safe" before the flushing noise gt really loud.
