bathrooms

I'm 17 now and, thankfully, have slightly more sense now. When I was 3, I would stay at my grandma's house quite often. She hated bugs and would flush them down the toilet when she found them. One day, I was misbehaving quite badly and Grandma told me she was going to flush me down the toilet like she had done to a cricket earlier that day. This traumatized me and a few weeks later, my parents were trying to wash my hair in the kitchen sink, but couldn't figure out why I would scream and slap at them when I saw the drain. After my grandmother heard about this, she confessed what she had said to me on that terrifying day at her house.

In my downstairs bathroom, there is a boiler with a red light and a green light. Next to the red light were the words "Power On" and next to the green light it said "Demand". I (not being able to spell very good at that age) thought that "demand" said "demon". I thought that when the green light was on the Demon was coming t get me and whenever I used the toilet I used to force it all out quickly and run before the green light came on and the Demon would come and get me. I often ran from the bathroom with my pants still down! *blush*

ok, after taking a bath, when you take the drain plug out, it makes that wierd noise, right? so my little sister and I were sure it was a crocodile that lived under our bath. i'm not sure why, i doesn't even sound like a crocodile, but it never really bothered us.

Until my adolescent years, I believed that if you went into the shower on one side of the curtain, you had to leave on the same side. If you left the shower on the other side, you would be in another evil dimension.

When I was little I use to believe that the middle part where the water comes out from on the shower head was an eye looking at my naked body. So I use to wear shorts in the shower so the eye couldnt see my private parts.
Till this day I still wear shorts in the shower. I'm 34.

Like some children, I used to believe that I would get sucked down the drain in the tub. Do you want to know why I thought that? My sisters, who are 10 and 12 years older than me, hid in closets and used to yell "Help me! Help me! I slipped down the drain!" There I was, running to every drain in every sink and tub in our house, crying "I'll save you! I'll save you!" I should send them the bill for all the therapy I've received over the years!

I used to think that when I flushed the toilet, I had to get out of the bathroom before it finished flushing, or bad guys could come out of it and chase me.

I used to beleive there was this creepy man hiding behind the bathroom door, just ready to kill me when I opened it. So, in the middle of the night, being my spunky self, slowly opened the door and then quickly slammed it to the back, to find out nothing was there. I used to do it every time, thinking he somehow escaped everytime.

I used to beleive if I went to the bathroom at night and went in without turning the lights on the second I got in, this freaky chinese dragon would come and take me away... I was an odd child..

when i was 2nd grade, everytime i take a shower i was so scared that they'll be lava running out of the pipes. I was scared enough i forgot to use shampoo twise.

I used to believe that if I was not out of the tub before all the water ran out, that I would somehow go down the drain as well.

i used to believe that a monster would come out of the showerhead if i closed my eyes but it couldnt hurt me if i touched something white, so i always made sure i was holding on to the tile in the tub to be safe.

I used to believe that in the middle of a hot tub there was a big whirlpool that would suck me in and never let me go if I crossed the hot tub. I think I got this idea from my mom telling me once not to swim in the middle of a hot tub.

In the bathtub there was a dried drop of paint, but I believed it was a porthole to where Peter Rabbit lived. I was always afraid the mean gardener would come through the porthole and see me naked.

Jenny

I used to believe..and it still scares me sort of till this day..that when i got in the bath tub..and stayed in there too long..Jaws(shark) would bust up through the bathtub and eat me. ..lol...the damage of shark movies.

My 4 yr. old daughter has a panic attack if anyone pulls the drain plug out of the drain of the bathtub while she is in it because she believes that she will go down the drain with her bathwater. I used to believe the same thing when I was little and thought it was neat that she did too!

The plumbing in our home used to have a lot of air in it so the water would sputter and spurt as it came out. This made me terrified to take a shower, every time the water would spurt I thought it was the Blob oozing through the pipe to eat me. My mom let me watch scary movies as a child, can you tell?

Jackie

Up until I was in high school I had an irrational fear that a monkey's paw lived in the plumbing in our bathroom. I regularly had nightmares about it attacking me.

I used to believe that if I didnt get out of the tub before all the water went down the drain that I would get sucked down the drain, too. My mother told me this, I guess, because she was in a hurry and wanted me to get out of the tub.
