when i was wee, the toilet in our old house was really loud when you flushed it. i used to think every time you flushed it, witches and crocodiles and vampires and spooky stuff like that would come out and eat you. this meant that everytime i flushed the toilet, i had to run down stairs really fast. one day i fell down the stairs after flushing the toilet, and i assumed a crocodile had tripped me up, because i hadnt ran fast enough. i believed this until i was 8.

In our childhood home, the bathroom door was located directly across from the basement door. When I was 6 years old, my sister (9) told me that when I flushed the toilet a killer whale would come out and eat me, but if i didnt flush it the pee-pee monster that lived in the basement would be waiting for me at the top of the stairs to take me away. However, the pee-pee monster was scared of the light so he wouldnt come out if we laid a flashlight at the bathroom door pointing at the basement. My only hope, according to her, was to point the light at him, flush the toilet, and run away from the killer whale as fast as I could. The funny thing was...she wasn't being mean to me, she honestly believed it herself and was only attempting to protect her lil bro from the "bad things" lol

Our toilet sometimes makes this noise that sounds like water running so when I was little and I'd hear that noise I thought a ghost was peeing in our toilet.

Not me, but my cousin used to think wrinkle cream gave you wrinkles.

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".

My mom had told me since I was little not to flush the toilet while someone was in the shower. It was because when you did, it made the shower water cold. When I was 5, I accidentally flushed it because I forgot that my brother was in the shower. I started crying and my mom ran in the bathroom and asked me what was wrong. I told her that I flushed the toilet, and now all the pee was going to shower down on my brother. She set me straight, and I'm glad!

One bathtime when I was 4 there must have been rust in the pipes or something because the water came out slightly reddish-brown. I assumed we were getting ginger ale to bathe in.

after i was finished with my bath and the water was draining out, the drain would make a sound which, to me, sounded exactly like a cow moo-ing. i was completely convinced that a farmer had previously lived in our house and after bathing his cow accidentally let it get sucked down the drain.
to this day i wont let any part of my body touch touch the drain if there's water in the tub.

Since I was 7 years old, I used to beleive that the drain in our shower as evil and sucked women in because, whenever my a woman took a bath there (Sister, Mother etc.)There was a Cluster of hair forming at the bottom of the bath, I beleived that if you don't cover the drain at the bottom you will get sucked in.But, If you cover the drain too long the room will explode because the monster is sucking too hard on you.Ever since then I covered the drain with anything I got my hands on.

When I was nine I watched part of a movie on TV where some poltergeist reached up through a puddle of oil on a garage floor and pulled the little girl of the movie through to him. After that, I was convinced that he was real and could do the same thing in the bathtub, because our drain was slow and there was always a small pool of water at the bottom. I got so scared that I eventually started standing on washclothes in the shower, believing they would act as a barrier and protect me from the poltergeist.

When I was little, whenever I went to the bathroom at my grandma's house, I always thought there was a dead person in the tub. Every now and then I still check the bathtub before doing my business!

I always hated taking baths when I was younger, because I believed the reflections and the light rays in the tub meant that there were sharks around waiting to eat me.

After Sept 11 (i was in 4th grade at the time) i couldnt use the bathroom for a week because i was positive that osama bin laden was living in my bathroom sink cabinet and would kill me if he saw me because i was american.

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.

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 :)

when i was younger i used to think that when you flushed the toilet, if you wern't downstairs or in bed or doing whatever you were doing before using it before the sound of the flushing stopped, the sound would drag you back to the toilet in slow motion and you'd get sucked into the sewers with everyone else that hadn't been fast enough.

I used to believe there was a guy living under our sink holding a bucket that he would use to catch all our water that went down the drain.

I was always certain that there was either an alligator or a shark in the plumbing of my bathtub. I used to tell them stories while I was taking a bath to make sure they didn't eat me. I think I was in my late teens before I stopped worrying about it.
