at home: bathrooms

Becuase I was told not to flush the toliet while someone was in the shower I thought that it was because the water (and the other stuff) that was just in the toliet would come out from the shower head.I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO grossed out!!!

I used to think that when you ran the water in the sink or shower that once it went down the drain it went through a pipe and came back out the nozel again like a circle

I have a brother a year older than me who would always tell me creepy stuff... He told me that if I went under water in the bath tub that Puritans would come up and suck me into the drain and make me practice their religion and if i didnt i would get killed......i took showers ever since

when i was 3 i saw the part of the movie "IT" where pennywise came out of the shower drain and until i was 7 i stared at the drain without looking away the whole time whenever i washed.

When my brother and I were children, my mom used to bathe us together. When she would leave us in the tub, we would lie down and pretend we were french fries frying in oil. LOL!!

I got afraid that characters from movies, would break into my bathroom while I was in the shower, and kill me. So I showered with the curtain half open. Every morning I'd have to clean up all the water on the floor.

I used to wash my hands with Palmolive soap, interpreting the brand name as "Palm-o-live", assuming that their somewhat dubious marketing angle was that the soap would make your palms feel more "alive".

When I watched a movie it had purple gozze coming out of the focet and for about three years I would turn on the the water and run out of the room for 5 minutes and then come back in and check it of corse it was always ok so i'd go headed and take a bath.

I used to believe that aliens were in the bathub and they could get me at any time.

When I was little I lived in this house and in the bathroom there was a hole in the shower where somebody had removed the shower head. Well, I had just watched Freddy Kruegur and my older sisters told me that he was going to come through the hole and get me. I was scared to death to be in the bathroom by myself and somebody had to always sit with me while I was in there.

When I was a young gal, I thought that people could see into the bathroom, by looking into the crack by the ground. I was so scared that people could see me, that I would take towels and push them into the crack.

I used to believe…

to this day, im still afraid of the shower if it has curtians. I wont even go into the bathroom if the shower's curtain is closed. And i wont open it...someone else has to...even if i have to go outside to ask some one to open it for me...thank you physo, for freaking me out about shower crutains for the rest of my life.

When I was little (5-6) I asked my grandfather where the water went in over flow holes in the bathroom sink, surely joking he told me that it went to poor people. Weeks later, my mother caught me in the bathroom repeatedly filling up a paper cup and pouring in down the holes. Boy did she have it out with him when the water bill came!!!

I use to think monsters lived in the drain in my shower.
(C'mon I was little)

When I was young and impressionable, I asked my dad what that loud rumbling noise was when you took out the bath plug to drain the water. He told me that it was the bath monster growling cos he didn't like getting wet. He said that if I didn't get out of the bathroom as quick as I could, the bath monster would come out of the plughole and eat me. For years I was absolutely terrified of the bath monster and up until the age of about 13 whenever I had a bath I used to remove the plug and immediately race out of the bathroom fearing for my life.

You know, I don't think parents fully understand what effect their lies have on small children...

When I was a young girl of about the age of 4-5, I was told by my grandparents that if you wore a bathing suit into the bath tub while washing, potatoes would grow out of your ears and clog them up so you couldn't hear.

I don't know where in this world they got that idea from, but it was a good white lie to keep me from "swimming" in the bath tub.
