At a friend's party when i was really young, his father played us some humpback whale songs - very creepy to a youngster! I said some emboldening thing like "ah, who's afraid of a whale!" the father said, "I am. they can come through the tap into your bathtub!" How I cried!

I used to beleive that bidets were something you washed your feet in I still think it is actually practical to do.

I believed that staying in the bathtub while the water was draining out would cause all the dirt to settle back onto my body.

When I was little I lived in this house and in the bathroom there was a hole in the shower where somebody had removed the shower head. Well, I had just watched Freddy Kruegur and my older sisters told me that he was going to come through the hole and get me. I was scared to death to be in the bathroom by myself and somebody had to always sit with me while I was in there.

when i was around 5 or 6 i believed jabba the slug thing on star wars was down in the drain of the bath tub becasue so much gunk when down in it. so i would lean over the drain and talk to him but i would never put my finger in there i was to scared hed catch me

brandi

when i was 3 i was afriad i would be swept down the bathtub drain when the water was flowing out so i always made her pull me out before she pulled the plug. but then she made me sit down and look at the size of me and the size of the drain and i got the picture.

After watching an advert on telly for a bathroom cleaner when i was younger, i believed that each house had a certain amount of water to it, and that if you used too much it would run out and the sink would fill with green gunge. To this day i always make sure the taps are turned off properly!

When I was three I would yell into the bathtub drain after taking my bath. I was convinced my father could hear me, and i would ask him all sorts of questions.

I used to believe..and it still scares me sort of till this day..that when i got in the bath tub..and stayed in there too long..Jaws(shark) would bust up through the bathtub and eat me. ..lol...the damage of shark movies.

In my downstairs bathroom, there is a boiler with a red light and a green light. Next to the red light were the words "Power On" and next to the green light it said "Demand". I (not being able to spell very good at that age) thought that "demand" said "demon". I thought that when the green light was on the Demon was coming t get me and whenever I used the toilet I used to force it all out quickly and run before the green light came on and the Demon would come and get me. I often ran from the bathroom with my pants still down! *blush*

when i was little, i believed that every night when i went to go to the bathroom before bed, there were kidnappers/robbers/murderers outside the window. every night, i would make weird deals with them in my head ("please don't kill me till after i wash my hands") then after i did that i would run like hell to bed.

I used to believe there was monster (he looked rather like a Yowie) living in the plumbing who would suck out all the water when you pulled the plug, that's why there were all those slurping noises. My sister told me if you sat in the bath while it was draining, he would eat you too!!

I was so scared from the movie IT, I thought a clown would come of of the drain when I was in the shower. So after hearing a little more about the movie from my dad, I found out that the clown was actually some kind of an alien spider. So i would spray bug spray on the drain to keep it away. I was about 11

When I was a child I was convinced whenever I took a bath that Captain Hook would come out of the faucet. I would sit there at the other end of the tub and watch it, waiting for his hook to come down out of it.

I used to believe that when i took a bath there was whales and sharks below me, because our bathroom was over the ocean so we could get water. I was always afraidto take a long bath or shower because i was afriad they'd come up and try to get me!

Camie

I used to think that if I pulled the plug out of the bathtub while I was still in the tub I would be sucked down the drain with all the water. If either of my parents came into the bathroom and pulled the plug, I would jump out screaming.

when i was really small (2) i used to think that if i stepped on red towels that the floor would collapse and that i would fall under the floor and be trapped there forever...
i also used to be afraid of melting cheese...

Until about 6 months ago (I'm 21), I believed a bidet was used to wash your feet in.

Eep!

When I was young I thought everything in the bathroom was alive. The sink, toilet......everything. I was so scared that one day something would decide to speak to me that I talked to the things the whole time. I believed the things were polite and had good manners. They would never interrupt me if I were speaking so I never shut up. My parents say they thought all the bathroom furnishings were my friends. If they only knew....

I used to believe that thing in the sink (I don't know what it's called, it's like this hole halfway up that water drains into if the sink gets too full) had an alien living in it, and if I put my hands in the sink it would pop out and eat my arms.
