Up until I was in high school I had an irrational fear that a monkey's paw lived in the plumbing in our bathroom. I regularly had nightmares about it attacking me.

I used to believe that if you turned a bathtub to maximum temperture it would turn all the water into fire and burn you, and if you took it to mininum tempurture it would turn all the water into ice and turn you into "Frozen Nude sitting in tub" I was horrified to have any one besides mum adjust the tempeture

When I first started going to pre-school everything was very strange and new. The bathroom had one of those sinks that is basically a big tub with streams that fan out in a semi-circle. You would turn it on by stepping on a bar that was on the floor. I had never experienced this type of sink before. The teacher would tell us to go wash our hands before our snack. All the kids would run in and crowd around this sink. There would always be kids there before me to press on the bar. So I never understood how the sink turned on. I didn't see any handles or knobs. I thought of lots of differant solutions. Maybe the bathroom had a motion camera like the doors at the super market. I also thought that maybe the teacher would press a button that would turn the sink on and off. It wasn't until i started grade school when there wasn't kids always crowded around it that i discovered the bar on the floor.

When I was younger, I thought the shower water was pumped from the drain back up into the shower head, so I was afraid that if I peed in the shower, it would come raining back down on me and that grossed me out. Of course, I found it wasn't true, but even still, I won't pee in the shower.

Because of Hey Aranold, I thought that there was a little person and he was so poor the had to live under the toilet so I would flush my Dads money

Between the ages of 4 and 12 I would think that everytime I flushed the toilet a small red dianosaur would come out and chase me from the toilet...
Most the time I didnt flush and if I did I would blot out of there

I used to believe that Once you pulled the plug in the Tub after your done that you would get sucked down the drain..

When I was a young gal, I thought that people could see into the bathroom, by looking into the crack by the ground. I was so scared that people could see me, that I would take towels and push them into the crack.

My Grandmother used to dry her nylon stockings on a rack in her bathtub. When the shower door was closed I could see them faintly through it. I was terrified of the vague shadowy shapes even though I wasn't sure what they were. But I knew they were bad. I would try to be as silent as possible when using the bathroom. And when I flushed, I ran out as quickly as possible.

when i was 5, i had some mino's left over from a fishing trip. my dad said i could keep them as pets. i had no fish tank, so i put them in the toilet. the water looked dirty, so i put some vanish in the toilet, it made the water blue, and the fish happy. it looked like they where dancing. until my dad flushed the toilet.

When i was little i thought that if i stayed in the bathtub too long it would grow teeth and fold in half and turn into a shark and eat me.

Chloe

I used to lock myself in the bathroom when small, and mix small amounts of face creams, aftershaves, toothpastes and shower gels together in a plastic pot. I somehow thought I could make a 'wonder potion' that could do everything. I imagined i was creating something important that my mum would love.

Lilly

When I was little, I thought that if I pulled the drain while I was still taking a bath, I would get sucked down with the water and have to live in the sewers, where the evil mole people would find me and eat me.

Fuzzie

I used to think the three blind mice from the nursery rhyme lived in the overflow drain hole in the sink, and I would stuff cheese and pour water down there so the poor things wouldn't starve!

michelle

I used to believe that every time I washed my hands that I had got rid of another load of dirt down the plughole and that eventually I would rid the world of it. This meant that eventually washing would become unnecessary

Jim Clarke

I used to believe there was a tony ballerina under the drain of the tub that made the water spin when it drained.

Hilary

There were spiders under the water in the bath, and if you didn't get out before the water drained away well ... they'd be all wriggly (and stuff).

Len

I used to believe that there was a very flat white monster, a bit like a plaice, lying in the bottom of the bath. This is why I thought that an adult had to run a bath for me, because they were big enough to scare it away.

Anon

When I was young I was told that I should have some clothes on when I had a bath.
My mother said, if I didn't my guardian angel would run away.

My sister told me that jellyfish came out of the shower and sting you to death.
