For years I thought that 'TO LET' signs on buidings were actually advertising
toilets to use & used to get annoyed at the fact no-one could spell properly.

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.

I used to think if you weren't quick enough getting off the airplane toilet seat, you would be flushed down the toilet and out into the air.

Admittedly my Dad had a part to play in that - telling me the toilet waste flies out into the air like it used to do (true) on train toilets - straight on to the track.

Eww huh?

when i was younger i imagined that adults filled the toilet to the brim with poop, thats why they were that size and because adults were larger than me.

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 young I used to believe that to let signs were signs telling you that a toilet was nearby. I always wondered why they had forgotten the i until I was about 12 when I found out that to let meant that the place was available for renting.

My toilet when I was little was the kind with one big hole and one small one. I used to think that the big one was for poo and the small one was for pee.

I used to think that all the pee pee and poo poo and the water that carried it went to a place where they cleaned it and that was what came out of our faucets. I used it as my excuse to not have to drink water.

I used to believe that when I flushed the toilet in Fort Worth, TX, its contents went off to a warehouse in Dallas.

I used to believe the sound of a flushing toilet was nearly identical to the 90210 theme.

There was a song I heard when I was about 7. It had the line about a ship sailing away '..on the last day of September'.

This bothered me. I took this to mean that the last day of September was the last day EVER and that the world would end. It upset me somewhat that nobody seemed all that bothered. I think it was August at the time, surely people should be doing something about this!!!

I used to belive that when I would poop I was feeding all the fishies that got flushed downthe toilet!

I used to believe that when you used the washroom then flushed the toilet, there was a man that lived in the toilet and would have to swallow everything soo fast!! it's gross now that i think about it

When I was little riding on an airplane I used to think that the toilets would literally suck the waste out and drop it onto the land or water below! I also worried about the toilet sucking me or my mom out of the plane too. That's why I always hated flushing the toilet in the plane.

i used to think that building with a TO LET board outside was a public toilet.. but the person who put the board up jus couldnt spell...

I used to believe that monsters lived in my toilet and they ate my poop and urine when i flushed the toilet.

When I was a junior school, the girls had 2 rows of cubicles in their toilets, one with high level cisterns (like in the boys) and the other with (what I now know were) close-coupled WC/cisterns. I though that this latter row of cubicles contained the girls urinals, and wondered why they had to hide away to wee when us boys used the urinal in the open.
