I used to believe that there was a monster in the tub drain and if it caught me it would suck me down into the drain.

ok, after taking a bath, when you take the drain plug out, it makes that wierd noise, right? so my little sister and I were sure it was a crocodile that lived under our bath. i'm not sure why, i doesn't even sound like a crocodile, but it never really bothered us.

When I was about 7 years old, I thought that there were goldfish in the tub watching me. I always had bubble baths so I couldn't "see" them, but I thought the see-through bubbles were fish eyes and the large ones were piranha eyes. I was frightened of bubble baths for 3 years.

The Greatest Person Ever

I used to think that there was an octopus living underneath my bathtub and if I touched the drain, it would come up and drag me down with it.

I used to believe that bidets were little toilets for babies or midgets. It made sense to me at the time though...

I used to think everything in the bathroom came to life when I wasn't looking and "stood still" when I was.
Sometimes I would turn around really fast to try and "catch them" walking around.

I heard of a legend of a woman covered in blood coming out of a puddle of water if you were near and kill you if you disrespected your parents. I was sort of the obnoxious child, and our shower mat covered the drain so as I took showers there would always be a puddle. I worried that this woman would come out of the puddle and get me, so I'd always glance at the toilet water every few seconds from behind the shower curtain, and I'd hurry up in showers always thinking to myself, "I love my parents we're best friends!" thinking she can hear my thoughts and she'd believe me.

I used to think that conditioner was to wash the shapoo out

Whenever I would use a sink or any form of running water I always had to keep a body part or something else in the stream. I had this belief that there was a little man who lived under our house (and every other house) and he looked at all the water passing out of your house through a transparent pipe. He could always tell if the water was being used for something or if it was just going down the drain untouched.

I always believed that if he ever caught you wasting water something bad would happen and that he would be ok withunused water for a moment or two when you first turn on the tap or before you turn it off, but nothing more was allowed.

I still don't know what would happen if he caught you, but i never wanted to find out.

I used to think that if you flushed the toilet and then turned on the tap, the sewage water would come out of the tap.

I was always scared of the noise that the bath drain made when the water was draining out and believed that it would suck anyone in the room into the drain so I would run out of the bathroom screaming as soon as the plug was removed! I also would never like to be in the bath when the tap was on filling it up, and hated when there were bath toys floating in the water...i was a weird child

When i was little at my house,outside the bathroom was kind of a crack where the carpet and the tile met.After i went 2 the bathroom as the toilet was flushing i had to jump over the crack.If my foot touched it or i didnt make it across in time i really beleived something bad would happen.I took it really seriously and truly beleived it.My mom would always look concerned when she saw me runnin out of the bathroom(LOL).

Jake

everytime i walked in the bathroom when i was little i used to think a monster was hiding behind the shower curtain thats why i used to be scared to take a shower!

BAM-BAM

When I was 5 or 6 I thought if you eat to much u would have to sit on the toilet for atleast 5 days that's why I was a skinny child until my mum explaind that its pretty much immpossible to sit on the toilet for more than 5 days. :) x

I used to beleive that you couldn't drink water from the bathroom, be it the sink or the shower, because after all, it WAS from the BATHROOM....

Katt

I used to believe I would go down the drain of the bathtub and be forever stuck if my Mom pulled the plug while I was still in the tub. I still wait to pull the plug till after I get out of the tub even to this day.

Steffie

how many us believed you would go down the drain with the bath water? I did!

Amy

when i was at my nans house when i was about 4 or 5, i would have a bath, then when my nan wrapped me in a towel and pulled out the plug i'd shout, 'NOOO!' and run down the stairs as fast as i could. It's because the sucking sound of my nans plughole would scare me so much, it sounded like a monster in the drains.

I used to believe that water from the drain in the bathtub all went to China. I've subsequentialy installed that belief in my own son and only today considered whether Chinese parents tell their children that water from the bathtub all flows to America.... hehehe

boB

I used to believe that sharks swam up the plug hole when the plug was pulled outand would eat you if you did not get out of the bath before all the water went down the plug hole. It certainly made me jump out!!
