After seeing 'Look Who's Talking 2' when I was five, I became convinced that all toilets were evil, and especially hated me.
For about two months I wouldn't even go near one without someone with me.

Kirstie Alley ruined my life

I used to think (when I was really young) that as soon as I flushed the toilet, a monster would come out of it and kill me. So I would always run really fast away from the toilet whenever I flushed it so they couldn't get me!

I used to believe (and still kind of do for some weird reason) (i think i watched something on TV) that there are shrunken people in the toilet that watch you so i always try to be as quick as i can.

a couple of years ago i used to believe that there were two little men who lived in your toilet and they would poke you with sticks when you went to the toilet if they didn't like you.

I was so scared of The Ring, when it came out. My friend was telling me about it. And she said something about a toilet that Samara came out of which was actually the well. For awhile i was scared to use the bathroom...

I'm afraid of toilets

I used to believe that a snake was going to come out of my toilet and bite me. It started with some movie my friend saw, she got me scared.

when i moved into this new house with my mom (whitch wasnt the cleanest house ever) i thought that the stuff i keep flushing down would eventually turn into a huge colony of bugs, crawl out of the toilet and eat me alive! scariest thing is that i conqered it only 7 months ago! buh bun buuuuum

Nerdly McDorken-himer

I used to believe that snakes living in the sewage would come into your toilet and bite your backside while you were doing your business. I never spent more than five seconds in the bathroom.

I used to have this irrational fear that a serial killer would crawl through the septic tanks and stab me repeatedly in the butt while I was on the toilet.

When I was really little I used to think if you had something in your mouth while you were using the toilet that it would get sucked down (with your business) once you flushed the toilet.

I used to think that if you flushed the toilet while sitting on it, you would be sucked down. Where to, I could not say.

When i was younger i would beleive if i didnt open the closet door in the bathroom, before i used the toliet that a monster or something would come out and get me! i still open the closet door!

When i was in first grade a boy told me he used to afraid of robbers coming out of the toliet to get him. Since he old me that i was always scared to go to the bathroom and would do it fast and jump up as soon as i could!

When i was younger i was once taken in a public toilet, which had a timer on it, and would spray itself down after the user had left and closed the door again. however, ignoring the sign above the door, instead of waiting for the person before me to close the door, I went straigh in, and closed the door myself. Clearly the toilet thought that the last person had just left the cubicle, and so as i sat down on the seat, I was sprayed with toilet cleaner. To this day I refuse to use public toilets, and when I absolutely have to, i make sure i shut the door and then open it again before I go in

the first one totally reminded me of myself. i did think that a monster would come out. so even to this day, especially if the hallway is dark, (or if the flushing sounds like a cougar), i still go out quick.

When I was in the fourth grade my brother told me there was a monster in the toilet. So, for several months I would take Barbies and leave them on top of the toilet as sacrifices so the toilet monster wouldn't eat me while I was using the restroom. My mom would always follow me afterwards and put the Barbies back in my toybox; so, for a long time I thought the toilet monster was eating my sacrifices.

for a real long time i thought that as soon as i flushed the toilet you had to get out before it stopped or ese a big monster would come out and get you i dont know why i started doing this, no one told me. even now i hurry out

my mom told me that when she was little, he brother told her that there was a genie in the toilet and that when you flush the genie would come out and get you. my mom believed him and would never flush. finally, her mom told her that she had to start flushing the toilet. then, to get away from the genie, she would flush the toilet, then run downstairs as fast as she could so the genie wouldn't get her.
