I used to believe that every time i stepped out of my toilet, ( FYI-as soon as you step out, there is a door on the ceiling leading to the attic) a big monster was going to drop something on me and flatten me on purpose (sp?) to teach his son what to do when he got older. so, when i flushed the chain, i would run out of there!
i always imagined that the monster had juusstt missed me and i would shout HAHA! you lose again! to him.
True Story.
As you can see i had a vivid imagination.

I used to believe that every time I use the bath room at school, the teacher puts on the tv and there's a camera in the bathroom because every time I can back from the bathroom everyone stared at me! That was a few years back though :D

My best friend and I used to believe that there was a little green man who lived inside the toilet and would eat your poop! My fear of him was so great that I would sit backwards on the toilet so I could watch and make sure he wasn't there. I stopped that when I was maybe 10. I still retain a fear of the loud flushing sound a toilet makes- I make sure flushing is the last thing I do before I leave the bathroom... though I don't generally admit it.

When I was younger there was always a bidet in my bathroom and for years i thought it was a broken toilet. Then came the times where my mom made me wash my feet in it and i would think to myself, "why am i washing my feet in a broken toilet"

that bathroom tap water was recycled "potty" water from the toliet.

When emptying the bath, I had to be out of the bathroom before the whirlpool started making that slurping noise. I figured something would get me if I lingered, so I raced to dry myself and escape.

I could buy some time by splashing the water to break up the whirlpool temporarily.

I used to believe that hairspray was made of grapes! =) Does't it smell grapey to you? XD

When we were little I told my sister that if you pulled the plug out of the drain in the bathtub and you were still in there you would go down too. Then I would pull the plug to hear her scream!

Once when I was about 5 I had to pee but my dad was in the shower. My mum let me in the bathroom to use the toilet, but warned me not to flush (because that would affect the temp of the shower) That led to me believing that the pipes in the house were connected so that if you flushed the toilet while someone was in the shower, then toilet water would rain down on them!

One day when I was 6 I learned that the toilet was NOT a water cooler. :/

I was afraid to have the shower curtain closed. I swore that someone was behind there ready to jump out and kill or hurt Me. I still pull the curtain back before I can use the bathroom..even just to brush my teeth in the bathroom.

you know that little silver thing in the bath tub that starts to drain water if the baths to full ,well when i was a kid i though that it was a camera and i was a news reporter ,reporting from a flood in africa .simples minds yes!

Ever since I was little, I would always look over my shoulder coming from the bathroom because I didn't kow if someone was behind me. I would make to sure to get to my bedroom as fast as I could. I would also open & close the door to my bedroom just enough so that I would be the only person to be able to fit in my room. I am 18 and sometimes I still feel that thing were you know someone is looking at you. Very scary....

When I was young, I was convinced that if I didn't get downstairs again before the toilet stopped flushing, something terrible would happen. It did a couple of times when I slipped and fell downstairs!

After watching a skit about a drain monster on the old Nickelodeon show 'You Can't Do That On TV' I was scared to death to take a shower. I still took them but i made sure that i was as far away from the drain as possible so the 'drain monster' couldn't attack me. This belief haunted me until the age of 10! I was absolutely horrified!

As a child, my mum used to give me a bath before bedtime, and I would try to stay in there as long as possible, even after mum had pulled the plug out and the water had started to drain away, all so that I could stay up that little bit later. Well, mum decided that to get me out of the bath quicker, it would be a good idea to tell me that once the plug had been pulled out of the bath, crocodiles would escape out of the plughole and eat me up if I was still in the bath! To this day, I cannot stay in a bath once the plug has been pulled out! (Not that I believe her anymore, but I think psychologically the fear of the plughole has stayed with me!!).

NidNad

I used to think that the curved pipe under the sink led directly back up to the faucet, so I wouldn't use water to brush my teeth.

Jules

After watching the movie, 'The Blob'. I thought whenever you went to the bathroom or washed your hands, the blob would suck you down the drain and eat you.

I used to think that when I was in the bath I shark lived under the bath and that ig might come up and bite me

I used to babysit two little girls, ages 4 and 5. One night they were brushing their teeth, and after spitting toothpaste in the sink the younger one looked up at me and said, "Is that bird poop?"
