mine is sorta like kes but rather there was a really skinny man in the toilet who i called the U-bend man who would reach up and drag me down to replace him... i know he doesn't exist but whenever i remember that, i get really nervous about using the bathroom even though i'm in my older teens

My sister told me once of a rat coming out of someone's toilet (dunno if it was true) but then I was afraid of a sewer rat coming out of the toilet and biting my butt when I was on the toilet. I also though that I wasn't safe from the rat until I was out of the bathroom and down the hall before the flush was completed. I was a weird little cretin.

When I was 5-6, I saw the cover of a horror movie where a goblin was sitting on top of the toilet. From then on i could never flush the toilet because I was scared the goblin was going to come out once I flushed it so I would run out of the bathroom right after I was done.

When i started school i went to the toilet and the i flushed it and it was really loud and i thought it was a dinosarer roaring so i never flush the toilet till i was in the 5th grade

I used to worry that when i was on the toilet, a little submarine periscope would pop up and look at my bum! I'm still nervous about that sometimes and i'm 18!

i remember .. when i was 4 years old my brother had told me that there was a blue water person hiding in the toilet just to make sure i asked my older sister(who is older than him) and she said it was true, they had planned it all along
i use the get my older sister to come with me and watch me because i got scared so much that the water person would grab my behind and pull me into the toilet

When I was a kid, my cousin told me that if you sat on the toilet for too long at her house before or after you "did your business" a hand would come up and grab onto your butt. I still worry about that happening sometimes. I think it happened in a movie or something.

I used to believe that evil leprechauns lived in the u-bend. I went to the bathroom as fast as I could and close the seat cover before they could come up and bite my butt.

I grew up in the city. I was never afraid of the boogeyman in the woods. Instead, I was afraid of kidnappers.
In kindergarten, it was a long walk down a generally deserted hallway to the bathroom. I believed that if I flushed the toilet, the kidnapper would know what stall I was in. As a result, I never flushed when I peed at school.
I now believe that it's really inconsiderate to not flush a public toilet after using it. I'm glad I've learned something in the last 25 years.

i used to believe if you sat on the toitlet long enough, captin hook from the movie "hook"(w/ robin williams) would come out of the hole and poke me in the butt. i still get scared today.

up until i was about 4 or 5 i apparently used to believe that a monster lived down the toilet. This, i think, ame from my brother, telling me that if i sat on the toilet for ages something would bite my bum...so i assumed that there was a monster down there.....It must have been hard for my mum to cope with it really.....

When I was little my sister told me that if you sit in the toilet at midnight a hand would come up and grab your butt and pull you down the s bend. Needless to say I always waited until morning to pee.

When I was like 4 me and my grandmother were in a bathroom at Kmart and when I flushed the toliet it overflowed and there was water all over the floor. Until I was like 10 I was scared to flush the toliet. ha

When I was a kid I used to believe that crocodiles would swim up the toilet and bite my butt - crocodiles live in the sewers!

When i was younger, i had a constant fear that there was this big scary man in the bottom of the earth that like to drink the urine that went down the toilet, and if you didn't urinate enough he would fly up the pipes when you flushed the toilet and grab you and make you live underground. So therefore I never flushed the toilet.

I had a bit of an odd childhood, didn't I?

I used to always look into the toilet before using it because I thought hat if I didn't look, a spider(a big, furry one) would come crawling out from the toilet and would bite me while I was on it. I don't know how I thought it lived in the water. lol

In grade 2 or so my teacher told us about in some other country there were snakes that would go up the suer pipes and end up in peoples toilets, i was worried it happened here in Canada too, I didnt want a big poisonous snake to bite my butt and kill me! for weeks i wouldnt sit directly on the toilet, id just crouch over it.

When I was little, I was convinced Darth Vader lived in my Nan's toilet. Someone had to stand outside the door while I went in case he come out and 'Got me'.

Daft eh?
