I used to believe that if there was poop in the toilet and i had to poop that if i sat on the toilet without flushing it the poop would come up and bite my butt.

On the bathroom doors in the kindergarden room, there was a poster of a boy (for the boy's room) and a poster of a girl (for the girl's room) on each appropriate door. I used to think that if a girl went to the boy's bathroom (and vis-a-versa) she would change into a boy!

I used to think that if you flushed the toilet, your pee/poop/vomit/toilet water/fishy would go straight to hell.

Up until about 2 years ago (I'm now 18) I always thought that urinal cakes were actually little doughnuts that were a favorite food of plumbers. I didn't know you stuck them in toilets!

I use to fear when I went on the toliet and I was on too long that a hand would come up. Then it would try to flush me down the toliet.

In my house i have only one toilet and whenever i really needed to go my older brother would be there before me doing a poo, he would take so long that i kept on thinking he was just finished but stuck in the hole and couldn't come out. Boy did i have accidents....

When I was younger, I named my toilet, Bernice or something similar to that. And every time I'd use it, I'd think that I was feeding her with my, you know. Heh, kinda nasty

When I was a small child, there was a hole cut out of the wall beside the toilet and a board was placed there so you couldnt see the pipes. I used to think hunderd and hundred of lady bugs lived in there and if I moved the board they would fly up and out and scare me. I was extremely sure of this, even though there was no reason to think it.

I used to think that in the olden that children at school would go to the toilet on round circular benches, that they would just sit down on the bench and go, but I thought that was strange because the benches were flat!

I thought that batman and robin lived in the toilet and might possible see me peeing on them. I had to check the bowl for them before i could go.

When I was little, I was terrified of public toilets, so when my sister was potty trained I decided to give her an amusing idea about them. For about a year of her very young life, she believed that I could flush myself down the toilet to go to my friends' homes. To convince her, I had her wait outside the bathroom so that my "secret method" wouldn't be revealed, and after curling up under the sink, reached out and flushed, closing the door behind me. She came in looking for me, and after a few minutes started to cry. That's not what my intention was, so when she left the bathroom I flushed it again, splashed water on myself and announced my return. Fourteen years later, and it's still an inside joke between us.

My sister is gullible

I used to think that when you flushed the toilet, what you were flushing went to the back part. I was scared to flush if there was a lot in there because it might explode on me and poop would go everywhere. Lol!!

I used to belive that when you would flush a fish down the toilet they would go and live in a world of fish where they could go and do fish things without being tortured becuase they are different, but then i realized, that the fish werent going to a world of fish they were going to a world of sewer mutants that used them as slaves for their own sick purposes. STOP FISH SLAVERY!

I used to believe that the handicapped sign was where you went to the bathroom cause it looks like a person sitting on a toilet

A 'friend' of mine once told me, that if you if you flush the toilet after a number two, it would disappear from your toilet and end up in someone elses.

Naturally, I was nearly laughed out the room when I suggested this to my parents. I didn't get what all the laughing was about, until they explained it.

Naturally, I felt like a complete idiot, and didn't speak to this friend for weeks :P

I used to be so afraid that our house would catch on fire while I was going to the bathroom. So I had this whole system down of preparing the toilet paper while I went to the bathroom as fast as I could, so I wouldn't have to run outside to get away from the fire, with my pants down. I'd count the seconds of how long it took me to go, trying to break records of the longest and shortest time it took me to pee.

Every time we were out I'd get desperate for a wee. I thought Mum was really mean 'cause I'd see signs everywhere and she'd never let me go. Turns out they were To Let signs!

At school the janitor would clean the bathroom and leave the toilet seats up after it, when all the girls would see the seats up, we thought that boys were using our toilets and wouldn't use them.
