I used to belive that an alien lived in my toilet. And I was a hero. Everytime I had to pee/poo it was my superpowers telling me to fight the aliens. And when I would pee/poo I would be poisoning the aliens (knocking then out) Then flushing the toilet would send the aliens back to the sewer. And the gap in between pees/poos would be them making a new plan of trying to take over the world, and crawl up my toilet. Yes, I was amazingly weird.

When I was little, I somehow got it in my head that if you used the bathroom during a thunderstorm, you would be electrocuted by the lightning. I guess that was because my mom always told me not to go near water when there was lightning because I'd get electrocuted, and there was water in the toilet.

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 small and just starting to use a proper toilet, I had a terrible fear of falling down it in case I got flushed away!

I don't know how this happened, but somehow, in my life, Pokemon and toilets combined.

I used to think that when you flushed a toilet, if you didn't get away from it fast enough, a Gyrados would rise from it, and bite you in half.

Maybe this is why I rarely wash my hands at home...

I wasn't potty trinaed until I was 4. I have reason to believe this is because my older brother (he was 10 at the time) told me that I would fall in the toilet and drown. Well, believeing this, I refused to use the potty. That is up until one day I was doing the pee-pee dance and whining and my father grabbed me up by the armpits and said "GO USE THE POTTY!" very loudly. I'm quite surprised I didn't go right there. I managed to get to the bathroom and use the potty....crying the whole time.

Apparently I was more scared of my father's yell than I was the potty.

My girlfriend used to believe that if she used the toilet downstairs in her house that rats would come up and bite her bum! A belief that eventually spread to all downstairs toilets.
Even to this day she will avoid using toliets that are downstairs.

Before flushing the toilet when i was a kid, i used to open the door and get ready to run as soon as i had flushed it. For some reason i thought a gorilla was going to come out of the toilet, roaring at me. As i got older, i realised it wouldnt be able to get out of such a small space.

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 being potty-trained, my parents told me that if i missed the toilet, a snake would pop up and bite my weiner off. I believed it for about a year till i finally missed the toilet. I was horrified for a few minutes.

The weiner snake

i was scared of flushing the toilet when i was young because i thought water would shoot out and that i'd drown in the water

When i was 6-10 i use to believe that there was some weird sea monster in the toilet so when i flushed i would run out to the hall way but naked and pull my pants up so the monster wouldn't get me.

I used to think when you went the bathroom the toilet would suck you down. I would do my business then shut the lid, stand on the toliet and flush it. I also thought farts were actually green and people could see when you fart.

When I was young my best friend and next door neighbor told me that when you flush the toilet an evil witch comes out and sucks you down. I believed this for a really long time, longer than i'd like to say. Even now, if I'm alone in the house and go to the bathroom I leave the door open so i can run out faster. I'm 20.

I used to believe that when you went to the toilet at night you were in danger of turtles jumping up and biting your bum..

Up until I was about 7 or 8 I used to believe that when you went to the loo at night after all the family were asleep tigers would rush out of the bowl and try to eat you as soon as you flushed it. Used to drive my dad mad when he'd find a full bowl as he prepared for work.

chris

I used to believe there was a giant slime-covered hand down the toilet which would grab you and pull you down it if you sat there too long.

Foz

I used to believe that if you tripped and fell into a toilet bowl while it flushes, you get sucked into hell. You have any idea how big those things looked when you are 5?

when i was about 7 or 8,we used to live in a 4 story house.on the bottom floor was the kitchen,bathroom and celler.i would never use the toilet at night as i thought the noise would wake up the monsters in the celler

jj

When I was little i used to think that there was this big green hand that lived in the toilet bowl. And so every time that i went to the bathroom i would go as fast as i could, flush and book it out of the bathroom!!
