my mum grew up on a farm with a long-drop (ie no plumbing) toilet. a guy would come each week to replace the bucket that held all the toilet waste. anyway, my mum always thought the guy just came with a huge wooden spoon to scoop out all the poo etc and never changed the bucket. she thus thought this was the most disgusting job of all.

My Dad told me that the Queen of England had a solid gold toilet and a special servant to wipe her backside.

I used to pretend that the bathroom was a time machine and as soon as I sat on the toilet I would be transported to another place in time.
Kristin
I used to believe that there was a time limit whilst using the loo.
Helen
I used to believe that 'to let' signs were advertising near by toilets!
chris
I used to believe that the signs which said 'To let' were signs for toilets that had been mis-spelt!

The huge signs displayed around cities saying 'To Let' were, I thought considerate people telling you that that there was a toilet very near by. I would look around the area for the toilet, just out of interest, but wondered why I couldn't find the toilet.

I used to believe that my dead gran was in my toilet, just beyond the u bend. This was because when she died I was told that she had gone where my goldfish had, and I'd seen them flushed down the loo. I would sometimes sit with my head down the pan telling my gran what was going on!

I remember the first time I used the urinals at infant school - when I went to wash my hands and turned the tap on, the urinal "showers" came on at the very same moment. I spent several break-times trying to convince other kids that they could wash in the urinal by turning the tap on. Needless to say, it never did work a second time.

I used to believe that a little boy lived under my house and ate all the poop 'cuz he had nothing else to eat.

When I was at kindergarten we used to get a day a year where they hired clowns to entertain the kids. One night I had a bad dream, in which one of said clowns drowned in a toilet. On recounting this to my kindergarten teacher, she told me that there was a monster in every toilet that only eats clowns. I believed every word of it and to this day I associate clowns with lavatorial drowning. The woman scarred me for life!

I used to think the suction of an aeroplane toilet was large enough to suck your kidneys and spleen out.

I used to think that when i flushed the toilet, the waste water would eventually come back to the fawcett that fed our bath tub. Therefore, every time I had a bath I checked first before getting in the tub to make sure there weren't any turds floating around.

When I was a KID (5 OR 6yo) I thought the reason we had to use the toliet was to feed the fish that we flushed.

When I was little I thought that when you flush the toilet it would come out of other bathroom pipes if they were turned on. I would never start to brush my teeth until after the toilet stopped making noise. To this day I can't brush my teeth or take a drink of water from the bathroom sink if I have just flushed the toilet.

My primary school had normal sized loos for the infants and kids sized ones in the juniors. I thought that they had bigger loos in the infants as infants tend to chuck up more.

I had always seen the "Rest Room" sign on a door in Burger King, and I imagined that some sort of sleepy paradise was behind it: wonderful beds everywhere, lots of pillows, folks catching a nap during a hard day . . .

My brother,Myles Kidd, being Scottish and having recently learnt to read, once went into a Ladies loo, believing the sign to read "Laddies"!

I thought that toilet seats were covers to stop men splashing etc and to keep the seat clean and that you sat on the cold bit. I continued to use toilets in this way until my late teens disgusted at the way other people failed to use the cover properly.

When my dad first told me about chemical toilets, I thought that the chemicals will dissolve the wee, poo and loo paper. How wrong I was as the only thing it dissolves is my sense of taste and smell.
