at home: bathrooms

I was afraid to have the shower curtain closed. I swore that someone was behind there ready to jump out and kill or hurt Me. I still pull the curtain back before I can use the bathroom..even just to brush my teeth in the bathroom.

I used to believe that there was a whole world inside the spec of light shining from the bathroom light on the chain of the plug in the bath. I used to look into the world carefully, so I didn't block the light.

My cousin said that if u pee in the tub when taking a bath, your skin would be smooth.

When I was about 5 or 6 I believed that an evil Spiderman lived in my bathtub. I would always stand as far away from the shower curtain as possible while still being able to reach it and throw it open to check for him before shutting the door to use the bathroom. I have no idea where that one came from...

I used to believe that if too much water went into the overflow hole in the bathtub, it would fill inside the walls of the bathroom and flood the house.

Like many kids, I was so scared of taking a bath after seeing the movie JAWS. I believed that Jaws could come up through the faucet or that he was waiting for me.

after watching the michael jackson video "THRILLER", i was afraid of taking a shower because i was sure that the "dead" would break through the tile and GET ME!!!

I used to believe that if the plug in the bathtub was pulled out while I was still in it I would go down the drain with all the water.

I used to believe…

ahhhhh theres a spy camera in my shower head

I thought that bullets might shoot out of the shower head when first starting the shower. Being in the shower when it was turned on was a bit like playing Russian Roulette.

When I pulled the plug in the bath, it would make that draining sound: I used to believe that If I didn't shut my ears when the draining sound was happening, Dracula would come and get me.

I thought the Devil lived in the bathtub drain and if I stayed in the tub while the water drained I'd get sucked into Hell.

When we were little our parents put us in the bath together to save on the hot water. We used to stir up the water with bubble bath in it to make more bubbles, which was good fun. However, my big sister convinced me that to play this game I had to have my eyes closed and my mouth open. If I started stirring without closing my eyes and opening my mouth she would say "Remember, Eyes Closed, Mouth Open!" and if I still didn't obey she would do it herself to remind me of my duty. I noticed at the time that while I was doing Eyes Closed, Mouth Open I used to get a lot of water in my mouth, but after all, we were stirring and there was water flying around - that was only to be expected. I didn't learn until I grew up that Eyes Closed, Mouth Open was invented entirely so that she could throw water into my mouth without me seeing.

Also at a country park near our house where we often went there was a miniature railway leading to a model "fairy village". We loved to ride on it, but one day my sister announced "You have to do Eyes Closed, Mouth Open or you won't see the fairies!" And like a fool, I obeyed. I don't think she put anything in my mouth that time, though. :-)

I used to make my mum get me out of the bath tub before she pulled the plug. I thought I would go down with the water!

Years ago, houses had only bath tubs installed. Our house, however, had a shower, but my family never used it, we all took baths.
One day my older sister told me that we didn't use the shower, because when you turned it on, fire came out instead of water.

Grandmother told me if I whistled in the bathroom the devil would come get me because I was whistling for him.
