bathrooms

There are usually only one drain in a bathtub - the one in the floor. Well, when I was little, the baths had two drains, the second one built-in above the floor one. So since it was always to dark, I used to believe there were rats living in there. Needless to say, I didn't bathe too close to it.

We have a bathtub that has a drain on the wall that has "wolverine" writen on the top of it. It has 2 bolts on the left and right side that looked like squinting eyes, and a nozzle in the middle that you pull down to drain the water. When I was 3-7 I thought that the thing was a wolverine, but it was sleeping, and if the water got too high, he would jump out of the wall and eat me. It scared the heck out of me when the water did get that high a couple times. I jumped out of the water and ran out of the room as fast as I could.

I used to think if I locked the door in the bathroom while using the toilet, something very terrible will happen and I will die without anyone knowing or helping because the door is locked. I didn't lock the bathroom door until I went to boarding school.

This is actually about my bathtub. When I was 3-7 years old, we had a round lever on our wall that had "wolverine" writen on it because that was its companies name. It had 2 bolts on the sides of it that looked like eyes, with the slit in them to make it look like it was almost closed but sleeping, and a lever in the middle that you pulled down to drain the water. Well I always thought that there was a monster in our wall called wolverine and if the water got too high and reached him, he would wake up, his eyes would open (the bolts), and he would jump out and eat me. So for years I tried not to touch him a at all except to drain the water, which I thought he drank.

I used to believe that when you went into the bathroom, you had to sing the ABC's. At the end when you say "Next time wont you sing with me" I always asked my mom to sing with me because I thought you had to ask someone to sing with you.

When I took my shower, I thought bad spirits could arrive through the evacuation holes. So, I would put a plastic glass on it and put my foot on it. It was very handy to take a shower with on efoot on a plastic glass !!!

i was scared to be left in the tub by myself because i thought sharks would come out of the drain and eat me. and i also didnt want the water to get so dirty that i wouldnt be able to see it. i thought if i could see the drain that it wouldnt come out. finally one day i tryed looking in there when my mom caught me and told me there was nothing in there. i felt so stupid. i was about 5 or 6 when it happened.

My brothers told me and my twin that when we were in the bath that there were lots of monsters in the plug hole waiting to attack uswhen we were in the bath therefore when we went in the bath wed squish up in 1 end if the bath and my mam could never understand why!!

I used to lock myself in the bathroom when small, and mix small amounts of face creams, aftershaves, toothpastes and shower gels together in a plastic pot. I somehow thought I could make a 'wonder potion' that could do everything. I imagined i was creating something important that my mum would love.

I believed that if you stayed in the bathtub while the water was draining down, you would get sucked down the drain.

When I was younger I thought that I would get sucked down the bathtub drain and one night I was having a bath at my grandma's house and my uncle, not know about my fear, unplugged the bathtub drain. I was screaming and screaming...lol

When I was around 5, my nanny used to tell me that the bath water we used came from "Angels peeing from the sky". I thought that was a little odd but I didn't pay any mind.

I used to believe that if a shampoo said it was for 'greasy hair' then it would give you greasy hair. I thought this was what you needed to use if you had dry hair - to make it better

When I was younger I used to believe that something was always hiding behind the shower curtain.So everyday before i went to the bathroom i would take down the shower curtain.but soon my parents started to wonder wat was wrong with me and wen they found out told me that nothing was behind there.....but i inturpreted this as "you better suck it up cause im sick of putting that shower curtain back up"

I used to believe as a kid that cockroaches used to come up out of the hole in the bath and if you didn't get out in time, they'd come up and run all over you.

When I had to use the bathroom at my grandparents house when I was younger I had to bring an offering. You see in the light fixture there was a lot of dead flys and moths. I beleived they were the guardians of the bathroom. If I didn't bring something they would catch me and make me live in the ligt fixture forever!

when i was younger my mum told me a bi-day was where you wash your feet.
she only told me 2 weeks ago that it wasn't true.

I used to believe that there was a monster in the tub drain and if it caught me it would suck me down into the drain.

I used to think that there were aliens living in the bathroom fan that would look down into the room. I think I heard a weird clicking sound one day that sparked this belief.

Don't know what i was thinking
