I used to believe if I didn't leave the bathroom before the toilet was done flushing, a giant wolverine would come out of the toilet and murder me. This started when I was six and ended when I was ten. I have no idea where this came from

When i was 5-11, i would be afraid that if i sat down too long, a giant spider-thing would pop me in the head, eat me, and sit me back on the toilet. I had PROBLEMS!

idk y but i still SORTA believe this, that whenever i flush the toilet i have to run out to another room that has a light on in it (and if it doesnt have one theres no use) befor the toilet finishes flushing otherwise somthing rele rele rele bad would happen. who knows wat but it just freaks me out if i dont run out of there fast enough. i try to convince myself that its not true and i know it isnt but its still scccawwwyyy.....:-D

i know im a dork, right?

My friend Aliana told me in 1st grade that a ghost had come out of the toilet in the big stall in the girls bathroom and had written "GET OUT! GO AWAY!" in blood on the mirror, and my friend Beth ( who had moved) had gotten killed and eaten and that's why she wasn't at school anymore. So, then I was scared of the loud noise the toilet flushing made, afraid that the ghost would come out, so since my hands were all pee-y, I'd cover my ears with my elbows and go and and wash my hands, not looking in the mirror, and RUN OUT of the bathroom!! I even did that at home. My parents thought I was weird...

When I was little I used to be afraid of sitting on a toilet because I thought a monster/elf/demon thing would rip my @$$ off when I was twelve I finally got rid of that fear I was a very wierd disturbed child

I used to beleive until I was like 7 that if I didn't hurry and run out of the bathroom after I flushed something would come out of the drains and eat me

When I was little, I wasn't afraid of the dark. No, I was afraid of the alligator living in the toilet. No idea why I thought there was one, but I was always afraid to sit down in case it bit me in the butt.

I saw flies in the bathroom one day at my grandparents house,so i went too the toilet and started watching the carefully so they wouldn't fly down the toilet and touch or tickle me!

i saw a commercial that a roach pops out from the toilet and bites ur ass, ever since then, i always check the toilet before and after i go to the bathroom!

roach-bitting freak

I was up at the lake when I was about 3 years old, and had to use an out house. I had some how gotten it in my head that an alligator lived in the toilet and was waiting to grab me when I sat down. I was so scared of falling in the toilet that I had to get my dad to hold me up (I wouldn't even touch the toilet), and I cried the whole time.

I went to visit a friend as a small child, and while I was there I saw part of a horror movie where a person in a bathtub got turned into a red hand that chased people. I came home so terrified that I didn't want to go anywhere near the bathroom for any reason without my mom with me, I was sure that red hand was going to drag me into the pipes- through the bathtub, down the toilet-

I don't know why I believed this... but when I was being potty-trained, I was terrified of the Toilet Monster. I thought if I didn't go #1 or #2 then he would be hungry and would get mad and eat me! I was so scared of NOT being able to go, that I totally avoided the bathroom. Curses to whomever told me that!

Around the age of five or six i used to beleive that as i was peeing in the toilet a single file of about 7 hooded and stooped monsters kind of like the ones from the film the dark crystal were travelling extremely fast around the world coming to get me and wouldn't stop until i had finished peeing, flushed and got out of the room as fast as i could. To this day it makes me nervous to be in a bathroom whilst the toilet is flushing. what a creepy little guy i was.

I used to be scared that when I flushed the toilet the water would go everywhere instead of where it was supposed to go. I believed this because at school one of the boys said that that happened in the boys' toilets.
