I believed that snakes that lived in the water system could come out through the toilet bowl
when I peed. In order to prevent them from surfacing I filled the bowl with toilet paper. Once I filled the bowl so much that I caused a flooding when I flushed. Boy, was daddy mad or what.

i used to believe that if you sat on the toilet for too long you would fall in and you would have to live in the toilet forever my older brothers girlfriend told me this i used to be petrifeid of toilets.

I thought if I left the door open too long, a dog would come from the cupboard in the washroom and eat me

I've always been afraid that Hannibal the Cannibal was in the sewers, and that he would eat your butt if you sat on the toilet too long. This is partly due to seeing The Silence of the Lambs and cartoons where alligators were in the sewers at a young age and getting them confused.

I used to think that whenever I flushed the toilet it turned evil or released a monter or something.
after I'd used the toilet, I'd go unlock the door and open it so I could get out quickly and then I'd stand as far away from the toilet as I could while I quickly flushed it. Then I'd run from the bathroom as fast I could. I carried on with this routine until I was about 10.

When I was little I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet (ONLY THE ONE AT MY COUSINS HOUSE) this vampire-like monster would come up out of it and attack you... if you're not out of the bathroom by the time its done. So I would always hurry up and use the toilet, wash my hands, and THEN flush. One time my cousin caught me running out of the bathroom and she asked me what I was doing, and I told her that if I didn't, then the vampire-thing would eat me. She said she'd always believed the same thing. From then on, I knew I wasn't crazy, or alone in my fear of U-bend dwelling vampire-like creatures.

Then I realized that SHE was also crazy and that we both needed to grow up. (We were both only like 7.)

Don't let the vampires get you.

When I was little I didn't like the toilets at parks and campgrounds that didn't have plumbing and didn't flush. I thought that there were dead birds inside the toilet and that they were nasty. I still hate those toliets. I call them dead bird toilets.

When I was like 4 me and my grandmother were in a bathroom at Kmart and when I flushed the toliet it overflowed and there was water all over the floor. Until I was like 10 I was scared to flush the toliet. ha

i remember .. when i was 4 years old my brother had told me that there was a blue water person hiding in the toilet just to make sure i asked my older sister(who is older than him) and she said it was true, they had planned it all along
i use the get my older sister to come with me and watch me because i got scared so much that the water person would grab my behind and pull me into the toilet

momo

i use to believe that if i flushed the toilet when i was still on it would suck me down to who knows where

Anon

up until i was about 10 i was afraid to flush the toilet
i was CONVINCED there was a monster that would pop out the second i flushed it and grab me and pull me back in with him
that roaring noise you hear when the water is sucked down..that's him growling on his way to come and get you
so i used to wash my hands BEFORE flushing the toilet.
flush it and run like hell to my room before he could get me

I used to think a giant kraken would come out of my toilet when I flushed and would drag me into the sewer so I ran out all the time.

i used to be afraid that every time i used an outhouse, a spider would crawl up through the hole and bite me on the butt. i was also afraid of getting bitten on the butt by a snake whenever i had to pee in the woods.

emma the toilet monster

when i was little i only went to the bathroom at home and never at school cuz at school the toilets would automatically flush and i thought i would flush down with my poo. i was small and idk, up until 2nd grade, i really had to go and i was at school. i had to have a friend stand outside the door. when the toilet flushed, i RAN out of the stalls.

Anon

I used to believe that there were red and black spiders underneath the table in the toilet.

Phil

When I was a boy I used to have to get halfway down the stairs to the middle landing before the toiilet stopped flushing or the monsters would get me.

Malc

That the "Childcatcher" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang would come up the toilet + catch me while I was on it.

Kat

I used to believe that the big, bad wolf lived in the toilet and he'd bite me if I was still on when I flushed it

I used to believe that a Freddy Kreuger type serial killer would come and get me through the toilet and tear me into little bits. As a consequence I used to barely perch on the loo and would run from the bathroom the very second I had pulled the chain. Nobody ever did launch themselves at me from the around the u-bend so I eventually forgot this fear until, when I was 15, I happened to watch an episode of the X-Files where a serial killer called Eugene attempts to do exactly this to a nice lady. Subsequently, I never linger in bathrooms.

When I was little, my older cousin told me that there was a "Potty Monster" that lived in the toilet and would grab your bum if you flushed the toilet while you were still sitting on it.
