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!
when i was about 5, i thought that if you stayed in the bathroom long enough, a ghost would come to get you through the shower curtain! so when i was done, i would run like hell out of the bathroom! i still run out of there today!
when I was a child, I used to believe rats could come of the sewers by the toilets and live in my home, came in my room so I was scared when I went to the toilets.
When I was old enough to see out the bathroom window while taking a shower, I noticed that the streetlamp would make an interesting diaper-shaped pattern on the privacy glass. For some reason, I thought that this pattern was God, and I would talk to it during every shower. I felt bad, though, since I was always naked when I talked to God. Everytime I opened the window, God disappeared, and all I could see was a streetlight. I believed this longer than I care to admit.
My mom told me that when she was a kid she was always scared that if she'll get too thin and be inside the bathtub, she'll be sucked down the drain. She went to therapy for that later. Seriously

I used to believe that I would be sucked down the drain when my mother would unplug the bath to let the water out.
When I was little I used to believe that when I took a bath and I was still in the tub when I pulled the drian I would be sucked down the drain and noone would ever be able to find me.
While visiting family in Italy at age 6, I asked my mom what the bowl next to the toilet was for. She told me it was a water fountain. When I proceeded to lean over to take a drink, she about tackled me. It wasn't until many years later that I discovered it was a bidet for washing your privates.

when i was younger my mum told me a bi-day was where you wash your feet.
she only told me 2 weeks ago that it wasn't true.
when i was young well um maybe i was 10
i used to think that there was a camera behide the mirror in the bathroom so when i got out of the shower i made shore that i had my towel on and got out of the way of the mirror so no-one could see me naked LOL im 12 now and think that what i thought was stupid ! ! ! !
When I was young I believed razors were little vaccum cleaners that sucked the beard off. I remember trying it after my father shaved and consequently had a bloody cheek.

When I was little, I thought the banging noise coming from the pipes in my bathroom were little men cleaning them out.

As a child I thought that to drown in the bathtub meant that somehow you would go down the drain. Didn't really see how that was possible.
My dad used to tease me and say that if you took the plug out of the bath tub while you were still in it, that you would get sucked in with the water.
I can't remember the number of times he had me in frantic tears trying to pull him outa the bath when he pulled the plug out in order to wind me up! Fun now maybe, but back then I thought he'd be sucked up and eaten!!! Very traumatising if you think of it!
When I was little, I believed that any water that went down the drain without any soap in it, was recycled and came back through the faucet.
I used to believe that a werewolf lived down the plughole of the bath! When I used to go to the toilet- I had to peer down the plughole to check it wasn't going to come up and bite me while I relieved myself. It was ok whilst using the bathtub though, as the plug blocked the werewolf down so it couldn't eat me
This is not a toilet beleif, but similar. I used to refuse to let the bathwater out of the tub because I was conviced that the drain was a tube that ran straight down and ended in a room and the water poured out on a lion's head and woke him up. I thought one day he would stop roaring at me and just break through the bottom of the tub and eat me.
I used to think that there was a guy working behind the shower and whenever I turned the heat on I would say "Hurry up!" if I thought the guy was taking too long to turn the hot water on.
When I was yuoung I thought that a "stroke" was when you fell down in the shower.
