I used to think when i was in pre-k that there was a monster named Warda that lived in the toilets and that he would try to pull me down if i tried to poop. Obvioulsy i tried to avoid this fate, so i would often go days without pooping.

I used to squat over the toilet because I thought a rat would crawl up from the sewage and bite my but and I would get rabies.

When I was 5, my family moved to Paris, France for a year. In Paris, there are these coin-operated porto-potties on the sidewalk (I don't remember the specifics of where or how many). My mom told me something about having to be finished in under a few minutes, but I interpreted it as that if we didn't use them in under a minute, the toilet would self-clean (hot water and soap would spray out of the walls) and we'd be killed. But that doesn't really make sense now...

When I was little, I used to think that there were pirates in the toilet (don't ask me why!). I was so scared that when I went to the toilet, I would allways pretend to be a pirate so that the pirates wouldn't eat me. I kept bringing my plastic sword & eyepatch to the toilet with me until I was about five!!!

I used to believe that in the toilet lives a toilet god.. haha thats why i never ever dared to dirty the toilet when i was young, for fear that i may get punished for doing sooo... hahahaha!!!

when i was a lil child my bro thought it was fun to scare his lil sister (me) so he told me to watch out at night when i go to the loo cause there's this toilet monster that will grab you when you sit down and it'll pull you into the bowl and flush you down with it... and make this joyful squeal as you both spin together down the bowl. i so SO SOOOOO believe him... so i'd try my best not to pee at night... but if i really REALLY had to go, i would pee real quick and rush off with my pants still down... hehee... ofcourse i would flush.. but straight after that i'd flee!!!! FLEE FROM THE TOILET MONSTA! :) Big bro can be a bully... but i still love him very much (though don't tell him that!) *grins* Incase you're wondering whether i still run from the toilet monster... i don't... because a time comes when you realise that all the things you are told may not necessarily be true... and you learn to discern fantasy from reality... though there are times that i still dream... but my fear of the toilet monster is finally conquered~ hurrah! :)

When I was little my grandfather would take my family camping on the 1000 Islands. One night when I was 5 he told us a scary story about the click-click-slide monster, a deformed woman with really long fingernails that she drags herself around on. From that point on, i got that thought that she lived in the outhouses on the island and she would reach her finger nails up and grap you if you sat down. That thought was probably put in my head by my grandfather, actually....

Up until i was around 6 i would watch inside the toilet while sitting on it because my sisters would tell me to hurry up and get out of the bathroom ( and i didnt listen to them) so they would tell me that when i set on the toilet a troll was going to come through it and pull me under..

WQhen I was younger, I would always get off the toilet before I flushed, because i was afraid that it would suck me down. After I flushed, I would run out of the bathroom, just to be safe.

***I used to believe that when you where going to the bathroom there was little tiny men and if you did a certain thing, like take a certain amount of toilet paper, then the little men would scare you or hurt you.
(stupid?yes i kno)

When I was little, I thought that there was a monster either in my toilet or near it that got angry when I flushed. I would stand as close to the door as possible and flush with my toes so I could run before the monster got me.

Why are so many people are afraid of toilets?

Jessy

I used to and still think that a snake could come up the toliet and bite me!

I was always afraid of toilets, like every other kid was. I thought that the louder the flush, the more likely I'd get sucked down into the toilet. Automatic toilets are the worst. I'd take some paper and cover the sensor with my hand so it'd think I was still there when I got up. Airplane toilets were soooo loud and had that horrible flushing that I'd cover my ears every time.

Odd thing is, no one really instilled that fear into me. I'm sixteen and I still covered my ears three days ago when I had to use the toilet in the airplane. I absolutely refuse to go to the bathroom if the toilets are automatic. And if there's a bar next to me for the handicapped people, i grab onto it with one hand so tight that my hand turns white.

Danielle

After watching an episode of Goosebumps or something of the sort when I was younger, I was always afraid that a big bloody gross monster would come out of the drains or toilets and eat me.

after i watched the movie gremlins...i always thought that there was a gremlin living in the toilet and that if u were there too long it would come up and bite ure butt lol

Anon

I used to think that after I flushed the toilet I had to run as fast as I could out of the bathroom, praying, because if I didn't the Devil would be able to come up thorough the pipes.

Mallory

When I was little, I used to believe that there was a little girl that lived inside the toilet that would come out and get you and suck you into the toilet and bite your butt when you flushed.

Anon

I used to think that whenever I flushed the toilet, I had to run and jump up onto a couch or a chair because if I didn't, a monster would crawl out and follow my feet and attack me.
