When I was little I saw the episode of The X Files where this weird man like creature lived in the sewers living off of people's feces so I was afraid to go to the bathroom until my mom told me it wasn't real.

When I was little I was afraid to flush the toilet because I thought that it would suck me in.

I used to believe that if you sat on the toilet for too long, your poop would turn into a giant poop ant and eat you. I also thought you would live forever inside that ant...

That monsters inhabited the toilet. After flushing I would sprint from the bathroom

when i was about 5 my brother told me that there were twin brother alligators called Tweedle-dee and Tweedl-dum living in the sewers. he said there were friendly and some times come up form the toilet to visit people. let's just say i was terrified of sitting on toilets. i thought an alligator would bite me, so i would try to be as fast as i could. (this didn't help at all because i was already afaid of getting flushed so i would hit the flush lever thing and jump back as far away as i could)

my dad had me convinced for the longest time that there were such things as jackalopes (a dangers mosners that is a cross between a jack rabbit and an antalope) he even had a picture of one.

When I was in Kindergarten I never ever went to the bathroom. For some reason I thought that the door to the bathroom would open up to some huge place where everyone in the world needed to go to the bathroom. Needless to say I was very afraid that would get lost or run over or something!

Imagine my surprise when I couldn't hold it anymore one day and all that was there was a little room with 1 toilet!

I used to believe that after i flushed a toilet a witch would come chasing after me. so i would always run after i was done using the bath room.

my friend and i are 14 and saw a scarey movie with like 8 friends. we got scared and went upstairs and she complained she had to pee. but before she went into the bathroom i had to chack the shower, toilet, cupboards for bad guys, then close the window and wait outside the bathroom door and talk so she didnt think i had left or worse...died. she is an odd child :P how can a bad guy fit in a toilet???

I used to believe that if I dropped something down the floor vent while someone was going to the bathroom, they would turn into a monster and eat me...

when I was younger i was very paranoid at being shot. So when I'd go up the stairs into the dark I'd hold a pillow infront of my chest (like that'd help) and I was terrified of sitting on a toilet because I thought a man would shove his arm up the pipe and shoot my bum :P, man was I ever paranoid.

When I was 4 I was terriblily afraid of the sound of the toilet flushing I used to scream extremely loud, cover my ears and start singing or humming to myself so I wouldn't here it. The problem was eventually solved when my mom made me list to something called the "sounds of the toilet".
I'm better now but at the time it creep the crap out of me!

When I had nightmares, I was afraid to go to the toilet - because I meant the monster/evil thing was in there. I meant it would drag me down and drown me.
I was afraid of the nightmares in a couple of days, before I forgot them. It was scary!

Silje

I use to believe that an evil bunny that was gray, had red eyes, and sharp teeth would come up the toilet and try to bite my butt... lol wow i was weird

Weirdo

I used to believe that if you ate while going to the restroom, you would die.

When I was younger i always thought that there would be spiders in the toilet that would come up and bite my butt.(only in my upstairs brother's bathroom) I would avoid that toilet at all costs and when I had to use it i would just squat and not sit!!!~~!!!

it was like two weeks before we sold our house. i was five and my brother was three. we had a problem with our upstairs toilet. it would work fine except for the fact that an air bubble would form and it would make a huge POP. so one morning me and my mom and i were in the living room and my brother woke up and used the bathroom. we hear the flush and the POP. all of a sudden, we hear my brother scream AAHHH THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE POTTY!!!!! (he apparently forgot the problem my dad had explained the other night) so he tries to come downstairs with my mom and me where we are watching . my mom was afraid that one of her kids would end up being a sleep walker and sense our bedrooms were on the top floor she had this saftey gate at the top of the stairs. it was really hard to get open. well my brother is so afraid that he forgets how to open the gate so he flings himself over it and he rolls head over heels doing somersaults down the stairs. he wouldnt use the upstairs toilet untill we mooved into our new house in fear of the monster in the potty.

When I was about ten I was afraid to use the
tiolets at school because I thought that there was
a bomb on the tiolet seat and that the bomb would go off if I sat on the tiolet. so I would have to hold in my pee all day at school.

when i was in preschool i had no problem using toilets until one day i used one and it was clogged up. i screamed b/c i never saw that before and my teacher came in and picked me up. i told her the water woudnt go down and i was crying and she said it wasnt anything to be afraid of. then she kept flushing it and flushing it and it traumatized me for life lol. since that day, i would never use public bathrooms all the way up to age 15 for fear that they would overflow on me. After age 15 id use public restrooms, but only regular ones that dont have the automatic flush on them... to this day! if i absolutly have to use one, then i go into the large handicapt one where i can jump to the side when it flushes automatically! lol Dont want to be stuck in a bathroom and have nasty germy toilet water getting on me.. guess i never got over my fear completely
