When I was very young, about 4 or 5, we used to spend a lot of time at my grandparents' farm house. Now at the time, they weren't that well off, so the bathroom was just a step up from an outhouse. It was a bucket with a toilet lid in the basement corner. Well basements are already creepy enough for a child, let alone a little girl. There used to be all these spiders with really long legs, and my mom would explain to me that they were daddy long legs. This really bothered me, and I never wanted to use the bathroom and would fight with my mom. She finally asked why and I said that daddy long leg spiders had to be boys and I didn't want boys to watch me pee. My grandparents still get a good chuckle over that one.
Spiders watch me pee!
I used to believe that if I got soap in my eyes I would go blind, because all of the labels said keep out of contact with eyes. I didn't realise that it's because it stings.

I used to think that if you go into a shower nothing can hurt you because you're protected by water

The fan in our bathroom when I was younger was really loud. The switch was right by the one for the light and my mum taught me not to press the fan. I think she was just trying to teach me how to turn on the light but for a few years later, I believed that the fan switch woke up a monster and that was the noise.
Scared of switches :)
whem i was 10 i was faraid of the toilet because of the noise.i dont know why but loud noises scare me .so i would always wah my hands BEFORE i flushed the toilet and then flush the toilet and run.so one day i told my dad and he wanted to show me there was nothing to be afraid of he said to come to the bathroom with him so he could show me i said no so he carried me to the bathroom i started kicking and sceaming he flushed the toilet and i started BALLING AND SCEAMING BLOODY MURDER.and that`s that.[by the way im 11 now]

That, if I took a shower and closed my eyes that someone might kill me or eat me. I still sorta believe, that might happen.

When I was 8 I thought a spider lived in the toilet and would bite me if I sat on it.

Trough ages 4-9 i used to think that there were monster in my bathroom and if i accidentally turned on the fan when i turned on the lights it would summon them.
when i was 10 i used to believe that there was some sort of ghost or zombie or something behind the shower curtain so i always had to check behind it or open it before i used the bathroom! i still get scared sometimes!
i only indulged in sitting on our bathroom floor once to play with my bathing toys because my mom warned me to keep my eyes open for earthworms. she said they tend to crawl out of the spaces between the tiles and enter one's body through his/her holes (you know). i feared bathroom floors since then. now that i'm grown up, i dropped the fear, but i still keep off any tile, even on walls.

My step-dad made me believe that if you put a baby wipe in the toilet it would explode, and one day (i think i was 5) I accidentally dropped on in and I screamed, running to my mom with my pants all the way down. And I was at my Aunt's house so it was more humiliating.

When I was, like, 4 or something, I thought there were sleeping monsters behind the shower curtain, and when you flushed the toilet, the would wake up and get you. I'm still creeped out, and occaisionally, I'll run out of the bathroom.

When I was about four, my Mom stopped helping me take a bath so when I was done with my bath, I would just throw my towl on the floor in my perants room and my Mom would yell at me and say "Its going to grow mold!" So when I brushed my teeth, I wouldnt let my Mom put water on my toothbrush before I brushed my teeth because I was worried my mouth would grow mold : (

When I was younger, I thought the shower water was pumped from the drain back up into the shower head, so I was afraid that if I peed in the shower, it would come raining back down on me and that grossed me out. Of course, I found it wasn't true, but even still, I won't pee in the shower.

You know those scrubbing bubble commercials where the bubbles came out of the bottle and cleaned the bathtub? As a kid, I would pour that stuff in the tub and sit and wait for those bubbles to come out and clean everything.

That there was a zombie living behind the bathtub in the upstairs bathroom.
When i was little at my house,outside the bathroom was kind of a crack where the carpet and the tile met.After i went 2 the bathroom as the toilet was flushing i had to jump over the crack.If my foot touched it or i didnt make it across in time i really beleived something bad would happen.I took it really seriously and truly beleived it.My mom would always look concerned when she saw me runnin out of the bathroom(LOL).
Jake
My brother told me that a woman and her husband had drowned in our bathtub and lived beneath the bath waiting to come out and get me.
Needless to say, after that episode I was a fairly unhygienic child.
