When I was little, I used to think that the bathtub rested on the back of a great white shark and that when I unplugged the drain, it could swim away, drop me into the ocean, and eat me. Therefore, I always made sure to get out of the bath BEFORE I unplugged it...and I actually still do today.
When I was little, probably 4 or 5, after I took a bath my mom would pull the plug. The sound of the water going down the drain made a sort of screaming sound. [It was an old house.] One day I asked my mom what it was and she told me that is was a ghost that lived in my drain and drank all the water. I made my mom stay in the bathroom the whole time I took a bath until I was about 8...
We were always told not to go into the water for at least an hour after eating but never told why. I thought that also applied to a bath or shower as well as swimming. My older sister (1 year older) told me if you go into the water to soon, you will shrink up and fall down the drain. While I longed to shrink up enough to live in my doll house, I was afraid no one would get me out in time and I would fall down the drain. This fear kept me safe and somewhat unwashed.
When I was young I thought everything in the bathroom was alive. The sink, toilet......everything. I was so scared that one day something would decide to speak to me that I talked to the things the whole time. I believed the things were polite and had good manners. They would never interrupt me if I were speaking so I never shut up. My parents say they thought all the bathroom furnishings were my friends. If they only knew....
I used to believe that thing in the sink (I don't know what it's called, it's like this hole halfway up that water drains into if the sink gets too full) had an alien living in it, and if I put my hands in the sink it would pop out and eat my arms.
I used to believe that every time i stepped out of my toilet, ( FYI-as soon as you step out, there is a door on the ceiling leading to the attic) a big monster was going to drop something on me and flatten me on purpose (sp?) to teach his son what to do when he got older. so, when i flushed the chain, i would run out of there!
i always imagined that the monster had juusstt missed me and i would shout HAHA! you lose again! to him.
True Story.
As you can see i had a vivid imagination.
I used to believe that every time I use the bath room at school, the teacher puts on the tv and there's a camera in the bathroom because every time I can back from the bathroom everyone stared at me! That was a few years back though :D
When I was about 5 I saw the movie 'Piranha,' and then refused to take a bath because I believed they would come out of the faucet. My older brother confirmed my fear.
I thought that little creatures lived down the bathroom sink, and that I'd have to pour water and put chopped-up soap down the drain occasionally because that was how they ate and drank.
when i was little i used to believe that there were people in the walls of my bathroom so when you poop you had to talk to them or they would kill you. i also used to think that if you didnt treat your toys right they would kill you in your sleep.
I used to think that the sewers were a big pipe that is open on the top so you can see inside and there were these men in orange suits on each side of the tube who would sort the poop and pee from each other and they would go seperate ways!
when i was really little i believed that drain people would pull me through the drain. so once my mom puled the plug i ran through the house screaming!!!!!!!!!!
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 think if i sang into the drain/hole thing at the top of the bath, people would hear me out of the pipes sticking outside on the wall of our house and listen to me
When I was a child I was convinced whenever I took a bath that Captain Hook would come out of the faucet. I would sit there at the other end of the tub and watch it, waiting for his hook to come down out of it.
I always check the shower if I go to the bathroom during the night because you KNOW those two little girls from the Shining are going to pop out and go "Come play with me Katey...." I saw that movie when I was twelve and I thought, oh, that would be cool, I'd play with them, up until the part when I saw them all dead! I freaked out. I am now 14.
When I was little and I sat on the toilet I always thought that Snap, Krackle and Pop(the rice krispy guys) were in the shower, so I would always hurry out of the bathroom before they peeked out at me.
You know how if you twirl your finger around really fast in water it will make a "tornado"? I used to think that if I kept doing it, the "tornado" might get big enough to take over the entire tub and suck me up inside of it and disintegrate me.
When I was little, when I would take a bath, I used to scream frantically at any random moment. Later my mom found out that she had left the window open, and that I was afraid the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz were going to come in and take me from my family.
when i was really small i would lap up the water from the shower while bathing... and so my mum told me that any water that came from a tap and wasn't boiled was "germ-water" and would kill me eventually... i grew up believing this until i was, like, seven...! even when i'd play house i'd kill off my 'husband' by saying.. "oh he died by drinking germ-water"... thanks, mum.
