i used to believe that behind the automatic flushing toilets in public restrooms that there was a person watching you go...so they knew when to flush for you. im still not convinced that somebody isnt there.

The toilet was an interesting thing to me, I could never figure out where everything went, so I used to think that when you went to the bathroom you were actually feeding a whole community of tiny people underground, so when you made a big poop, they were really happy about it.

in the town I grew up in there was a row of about twenty houses that where divided into two flats for each house. The sign out the front of the estate said ''emergency flats". I believed that these were flats where the toilets where realy close to every room in the house, in case there was an 'emergency'!

when i was younger i imagined that adults filled the toilet to the brim with poop, thats why they were that size and because adults were larger than me.

I used to believe that all the waste from the toilet was stored in the cystern

My sister convinced me that the water in toilets was recycled into drinking water. This was confirmed when some kids at school flushed an ant farm down the toilet. There were ants coming out of the water fountain (for real, I'm not making this up).

I believed everytime the toilet flushed a wave broke on a beach

Once when I was about 5 I wanted to be grown-up lady so I used some of my mum's perfume. Howver, once I'd put loads on, I looked at the bottle and it said eau de toilette, and I thought that I'd used toilet cleaner! I was so scred that I started to cry, and when my mum asked what was wrong I had to lie!

I used to think that 'To Let' signs were for public toilets and someone had either stolen or scrubbed out the i.

My Dad once told me that the toilet at the state Renaissance Festival was just one large cauldron that everyone had to use at once. I never went to the bathroom there until I was at least ten, and discovered they actually had private stalls.
