I used to be really scared of toilets because i thought that the sewage led to a place where there were lots of snakes and rats as well as waste and snakes would swim up the pipes to bite peoples butts.
I was also the one who loved the whirlpool when the tub drained but didn't stay in the tub because i thought i'd be drained down with the water.
I and thought boys lifted the toilet seat up because they had bigger butts.

When I was little I remember seeing something on TV about a snake being in a woman's toilet. Ever since then I used to think that if you took too long to poop, a snake would come out of the hole at the bottom where everything flushes down. I used to periodically look and see if anything was down there before I was done, I'd sometimes leave the bathroom with my heart racing.

It wasn't till I got a little older I realized that it's pretty much impossible for snakes to get through the pipes.

I used to believe there was a witch living in my toilet and if someone went to the bathroom and didn't wipe then she'd wave her wand and they'd get a rash. I was also terrified that one day she'd reach her hand out of the tube and claw my butt.

Like a lot of children, I was scared of toilets flushing for some reason. One night I had somehow blocked up the toilet (I don't remember how, maybe I dropped an empty toilet roll in it). Anyway, my Mum was slightly annoyed & sent me on my way to bed while she unblocked it. I was terrified she would get sucked down & die so I went to my room & cried for half an hour.

I used to believe monsters lived in our toilet, among them the aliens from Alien, Chewbacca, and E.T. The only thing that made it okay for me to go to the bathroom was to believge that Glinda the Good Witch lived down there too to protect me.

when I was 4 or 5 my sister told me that when you flush the toilet the gurgling noise was the boogeyman getting mad at you and was gonna eat you if you didnt get out before it stopped flushing he would get you. she ended up scaring herself (and me) and for around a year my parents would see us wash our hands, flush the toilet, and run like hell out of the bathroom

When I was little, I used to think that when you flushed the toilet, you were allowing the dead spirits to come after you. (The pets flushed down the toilet.) Every time I flushed, I would run out. And one day I tripped and started crying and screaming. When my grandma came and asked what was wrong, I told her, "The spirits are after me!"

They're comin 2 get me!

When I used to go the bathroom I was afraid to poop b/c I though a hand was going grab me and pull me in and when I flushed it I would cover my ears.

I don't know why.

i used to believe that every time i flushed the toilet then something scary would pop out of it if i didnt leave the bathroom in time. so i would flush the toilet and storm out of the bathroom.

I used to think that I would be sucked into the toilet. Mostly a fear of airplane toilets because those type run on suction. I figure ones at home were the same.

When I was little my mom told me that if I sat on the toilet too long I would get hemeroids!

I thought that when you sat on the toilet a snake would bite me.

When I was about 5 or 6 I believed that if you were not out of the bathroom before the toilet was coompletely done flushing, a bomb will go off and you would die.

When I was little my older brother believed an evil hand lived in the wall behind the toilet. He was convinced that when he was by himself and had to sit on the tolet seat that a tile on the wall would open like a door and the hand would come out and grab his privates. So whenever he had to do #2 he would take my brother and I with him and make us sit in the dark laundry hamper with all the stinky, dirty clothes. As long as he had someone with him the hand would never come out.

I used to believe when you flushed the toliet and didn't run out fast enough,a red monster would eat you.

I was weird when I was little!

I was about 6 years old when the movie Jaws came out. I was so terrified of sharks after seeing it, that I thought if I sat on the hopper too long, a shark would bite my butt. This went on for years, but gradually the fear faded........until I saw Orca!

Arachnaphobia - fear of spiders - always struck me most in the bathrooms. I was afraid to sit down without check under the seat to make sure there were no spiders coming up.
Of course, when camping in public camp sites, this is still my concern :-)

I used to be afraid of toilets, and I would run out of the bathroom right when I flushed my toilet, because I thought that when you flush your toilet, a monster comes out of it and eats you.
