when I was very little I thought a monster lived down in the pipes under the toilet. Whenever I finished I had to get out of the bathroom as quickly as I could, because when I flushed all that pee or poop down onto his head he would come out and attack me.

I use to believe alligators lived in pit toilets, like at some state parks. I refused to use the restroom there.

I used to believe that once you pulled the plug in the bath a shark would swim out of the drain and eat you.

Amy

I didn't know the word "massage" (as in rubbing) was spelled like that, but I knew the word "massive" and this looked similar, so I was always put LOTS of conditioner in my hair.

When I was young my older sister told me that if I took a shower the fireman from the brave little toaster would come out and kill me. I took baths for a long time

Cory

I used to have to put the plug in the bath when I was having a shower because I thought spiders would come up through the plughole. I think I'd just seen Arachnophobia on TV or something...

Jen

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.

Silly Butt

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.

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!!!

la china

everynight that I would go to the bathroom I would always open the bathtub curtain cause I used to think there was some creppy person just waiting until I was done using to bathroom to come out

When I was a little boy, I used to think that if you turned the sink faucet on too much that it would come completely unscrewed and water would shoot out.

Mikey

When I was 5 I used to believe that when I flushed the toilet the 'Flushie Monster' would get me so I never used to flush the loo if I could get away with it. My Mum used to tell me off so much that I had to flush, so I would make sure the toilet door was open so that I could run out before the @Flushie Monster' could get me. Even now I cannot go into the toilet nless the light is switched on and Im 33.

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 I had a switch in my bathroom that turned on a fan for ventilation. I used to believe that this fan was meant to let oxygen get into the room, and I would suffocate if I didn't turn it on.

Anon

I used to believe that you had to get out of the bath before the plug was taken out. Otherwise you'd go down the drain, too. And that horrible suction noise was, in fact, the monster at the other end whowas going to eat you

When I was little I always believed that bathtubs had spiders in the drain, because I saw the "legs" in the "whirlpool" of water rushing down the hole. I would always be afraid they would come out when I opened it, so I would open the drain and then quickly jump out of the tub and hope it couldn't climb out of the tub... how stupid. I'm not even scared of spiders anymore.

haha i was so stupid.

in this TV show i saw a snake coming up from the drain so everytime i take a shower i go really fast!

scared person

For some reason, I used to think that there was always a murderer in the tub behind the shower curtain, waiting to kill me as I peed at night. Even now, I still leave the shower curtain pulled back.
