I used to think that a "Freddy" hand would come out of the toilet and kill me. It made going to the restroom a tedious task of getting just close enough but not to close.

When i was younger there was an advert on TV when someone talked on the phone on an aeroplane toilet and then got sucked out into the air. Because of this and my older sister, i was terrified of going to the toilet on planes. i thought that if i did it would suck me out and kill me. I didn't stop to think that i'd been on planes before and nothing had happened!
On the rare occasion we went on a plane, i just rushed to the toilet the minute we got off. The worst time this happened was on a 7 hour flight.

when I was about 6 I saw the movie Steven King's It. So after I saw that movie i was scared to death. So, I would always inspect the shower, sink, toilet and any other place before I peed. When I was peeingi would always stand and watch (even tho im a girl)

I'm not sure where they originated, but when I was little I had a couple fears of the toilet. The first one I think came from partially noticing something playing on tv, but I thought the toilet would wait until I sat down and then suck me in and eat me, with the lid kind of making a mouth.

Another time I was convinced that there was a snake living down the toilet drain that would pop out once I was seated and couldn't see it. Sometimes the snake blended in with the hungry toilet idea and became a kind of tongue.

... Needless to say, I made a habit of going up to my mom and casually asking if she'd used the toilet each day, to make sure it wasn't in a hungry mood and that the snake wasn't around.

I used to believe that if you flushed the toilet, a monster would come up and eat me.
I got in trouble countless times for "forgetting" to flush.
Or I'd stand as far away from the toilet as I could before flushing, and if I made it onto my bed in time, my life would be spared.

When i being potty-trained, my parents told me that if i missed the toilet, a snake would pop up and bite my weiner off. I believed it for about a year till i finally missed the toilet. I was horrified for a few minutes.

The weiner snake

When i was younger, and still sometimes now.
i thought that monsters would come when you finished going to the toilet, like after you flushed.
so id run,

When i was around 6 years old i believed that there was a restruant that served grinch people underneath my toilet. There was always a family with a spoiled little kid sitting down at a table right underneath my toilets pipes.They used to wait for "food" to plop out of the toilet and they'd fill up their cups with "drink".Sometimes if i was having trouble poo-ing i thought the little bratty kid would get impatient and stick his hand up the pipes! Naturally I learned to give them fast service.

When I was very young, I thought that the little red sensors in automatic toilets were cameras taking pictures of people's behinds.

I convinced my brother that when I flushed the toilet all the contents of the toilet would come up into the tub if he didn't hold down the plug....he believed me too!
