i always thought that the noise the toilet made was the sounds of a gorilla coming out of the toilet, so i would run out as fast as i could when i flushed. even after i knew that it wasn't, i still played the game.

Once, I went to an aquarium and saw one of those eels that pokes out of holes in the rock. From then on, I was absolutely terrified of using the bog, for fear of eels swimming up the pipe, into me and eating me from the inside out! 0_o

I used to belief that if I went to the bathroom at night, a long hand would reach upp through the plumbing and pull me into the sewer!

tirp

When I was little I beleived if you flush the toilet it would swallow you down with the water. So whenever I got done using the bathroom, I never flushed the toilet because I was scared!!!!!

Casey

1day i was at camp and i went to one of thoes portal potties (like the one that are deep like dugenos) and my friend was with me because i was scared becasue it was dark. She had said "get out" and i asked why and she said that there was a man living down there and he eats the poop and drinks the pee.
so from now on i would never have used thoes

When I was about 6 ot 7 I used to think that there was a snake behind the toilet and I would always do my business with my legs up...

Britt

When i was 5 i was afraid of sitting on the toilet because snakes will come out of there and will bite my ass

when i was just done getting potty trained my brother told me that if i sit on the toilet too long a "toilet alien" would come up and grab my butt. (i didnt go for 3 days)

You know how people some times call the toilet a throne.

Well I used to think there was a whole villige that lived under the toilet and I was there queen and they wanted me back. So every time I'd flush the toilet I would run away so they couldn't get me.

m.r. toilet fearer

when i was like 4 or 5, im 13 now, i used to be scared of the toilet after i saw the movie "IT". i thought blood would come out and turn into the evil clown thing

Joe

I used to be afraid to flush toilets. I have no idea why..I think it was the noise..but I was scared to death of auto-matic flush toilets because I thought I might get flushed o_O

Amanda

When I was younger, I never flushed the toilet while sitting down. Because I thought that I'd be pulled into it. The "automatic" flushers really scared me! I had to keep my hand over the sensor while I stood, then I let them flush after.

Anon

i used to be afraid to drink water from water fountains that were anywhere near a toilet because i thought that the toilet water/urine was somehow "cleaned" and recycled through the drinking fountain.

SETH

I used to believe that there was a giant, snake-like monster with huge teeth in the sewer. when he heard th toilet flush, he would come slithering from wherever he was to try to eat you. I would always jump off the toilet as soon as i was done. but I was always afraid the monster would kill my dad, because he flushed two or three times every time he went!

claire

When I was younger I some how got the idea in my head that there was a ghost living upstairs somewhere, I never really figured out where, but whenever I flushed the toilet I would imagine it running down the stairs coming to get me. May be it was because our toilet was extremely loud and I thought it upset the ghost. But anyhow I would run into the kitchen, only about 8 feet away, Several times I slid on the floor and crashed into chairs, but once I was in the kitchen I knew I was safe from that ghost.

jen

i always used to think that the toilets that flush automatically at the mall would flush when i wasnt ready and suck me in.

after watching 'The Little Mermaid' (a Disney film) i was traumatised by Ursula (the big scary half witch half octopus thing) and i used to believe (dont ask me why) that when I was at home, after I flused the loo one of her long tenticled arms would come and chase me and try to take me away from home to her secret underground cavern. I would wash my hands and sprint out of the bathroom terrified everytime. As I got older, the monster changed from Ursula to the Phantom (from Phantom of the Opera).
I still don't like spending more time than in neccessary in the bathroom..
