bathrooms

When i was little i watched this movie and this hand cam out of the drains and would kill people so whenever i went to the bathorom i would leave the door open and once i flushed i would run with my pants still down till i was safely with my mom, now i am 16 and i still run ( with my pants up) when

I was convinced that if I was still in the bath when the water finished going down the plughole, that a monster called the 'squirly worm' would come up through the drain and get me

I still get a bit stressed out about it

When I was little my parents told me if i didn't wash my ears, potatos would start to grow on them... And I believed it!

I used to believe that the gurggling noise the bath drain makes after u pull out the plug was a monster trying to suck you in so i always made sure i was out of the bath before pulling the plug and blocked my ears or ran out of the bathroom

When I was little I used to believe that after I had a bath and pulled the plug, there was a monster in the the drain and it would suck me into the drain. I was about 5 at the time.

i used to think that before i took a bath, i had to pull away the curtains to see if there were any monsters in the tub.

When I was a little boy, I used to believe that when I take my shower there were ghosts looking at me.
Somedays I didn't want to take a shower because it was an embarrassing situation.
But one day, my friends told me that ghost didn't exist and now fortunatly I can take my shower normally !

I used to beleive that if sat near the drain in the bathtub, there was a good
chance you were going to get sucked down
the drain by the DRAIN MONSTER, when the water was let out of the tub.

I used to believe that if I stayed in the bath tub for too long I would get sucked down the drain!
from then on I hated baths!!!

When I was younger I was scared to go to the bathroom because I believed that a wolf lived inside my mother's hamper and that if he heard me walk by, he would sprint towards me and eat me. To this day, unfortunately, I'm still deathly afraid of wolves.

For a couple of years when I was about 7, we had to live in the outback (I'm Australian) so my Dad could get work with the local mining company. We rented an old 'house' (more like a shed really), with little by way of indoor plumbing. We had two working taps and what is called a 'long drop' toilet. This basically consisted of an outdoors shed, with half an oil drum (with a toilet seat on it) on some loosly placed planks which rested on top of an abandoned Opal mine shaft. As a kid I was terrified of going to the toilet because (among other things) I believed the mine shaft was actually a portal to Hell and that if I 'went' at the wrong time, the devil would look up, see my butt and drag me down there with all the poo-demons. As I grew older, this developed into a more simple and realistic fear of the planks collapsing and me falling down the mine shaft-'O-Crap and drowning horribly. For years I only went to the toilet at school - and on weekends, I went to my friends houses to 'visit'. To this day whenever I use a modern toilet, in a moment of reflection, I quietly give thanks...

When I watched a movie it had purple gozze coming out of the focet and for about three years I would turn on the the water and run out of the room for 5 minutes and then come back in and check it of corse it was always ok so i'd go headed and take a bath.

I used to believe that if you stayed in the bath after all the water had drained out, you'd either be sucked down into the drain, or some hand would pull you down it. This led to me leaping out the bath the instant I pulled the plug out :P

My brothers told me and my twin that when we were in the bath that there were lots of monsters in the plug hole waiting to attack uswhen we were in the bath therefore when we went in the bath wed squish up in 1 end if the bath and my mam could never understand why!!

i was scared to be left in the tub by myself because i thought sharks would come out of the drain and eat me. and i also didnt want the water to get so dirty that i wouldnt be able to see it. i thought if i could see the drain that it wouldnt come out. finally one day i tryed looking in there when my mom caught me and told me there was nothing in there. i felt so stupid. i was about 5 or 6 when it happened.

There are usually only one drain in a bathtub - the one in the floor. Well, when I was little, the baths had two drains, the second one built-in above the floor one. So since it was always to dark, I used to believe there were rats living in there. Needless to say, I didn't bathe too close to it.

I used to believe that if I was not out of the tub before all the water ran out, that I would somehow go down the drain as well.

Shaun

I don't know why, but i used to believe that, under all the bathroom drains, there was a room. And there was a bum in the room with a pot who caught all the water in the pot when any water went down the drains ...

I used to believe that the skeleton that lived in my toilet got angry at me if I stayed to long in there, so he'd make the door move. And that when someone had closed the door he was hanging from the ceiling dancing.

When I was little, I belived that if I stayed in the bathtub when I pulled the drain, I could get sucked down into the sewers.
(I also pretended to myself there were sewer monsters that would eat feces and everything. Strangely enough that was inspired by a picture of the "boogie man" in a pango's pizza place.)

I also belived that on plane toliets I would get sucked down, or my organs would get sucked down. ...I went on a plane when I was little, too. I think I ended up peeing in the sink because I was so afraid!
