bathrooms

I thought the Devil lived in the bathtub drain and if I stayed in the tub while the water drained I'd get sucked into Hell.

My older Brother told me when i was 5 or 6 that if I stayed in the bathroom too long dracula would come up the drain to eat me.

i used to belief that if i went into the bathroom in the dark and looked into the mirror, a man in black clothes would appear behind my shower curtain and attack me. i was scared of bathrooms for years.

when i was 12 my dad said i didn't do such a great job cleaning the bathroom, and next time i should use some elbow grease
from that point on i would search high and low for the elbow grease in our cabinets, but never did find it
when i finally asked him to buy some more, he of coarse had a look on his face of disbelief, and in that i was never assigned that job again

I used to beleive if I went to the bathroom at night and went in without turning the lights on the second I got in, this freaky chinese dragon would come and take me away... I was an odd child..

When i was about 8, whenever i took a bath I always though a shark or pirana would come out of the drain! I was so scared since i could never see the drain when i used the bubbles, i laugh about that still.

At my grandmas house, and onlly at my grandma's house, I check behing the shower curtain before I go to make sure that there is nobody bad behind there.

I was always scared to take a shower because I thought a shark lived just below the drain. I could never close my eyes, I would watch for movement througth the holes in the drain, waiting for the shark to burst through.

I used to be terrified of taking baths because I was afraid that a giant shark would come up the drain and eat me.

In my childhood I used to believe that the correct order for washing my hands was before taking the pee.

I used to believe that when my mom said that I could "drown" in the bathtub, it meant that I would go down the drain.

I used to believe (like when I was 6 or so)that you had to wait 5 minutes before rinsing the conditioner from your hair in the shower, so whenever I'd have a shower, when I put the conditioner in, I'd wait for a while, then I'd call down to my mom, "IS IT TIME TO RINSE YET??" she had no idea what I was talking about, because I never told her I was having a shower or anything...

When I had to use the bathroom at my grandparents house when I was younger I had to bring an offering. You see in the light fixture there was a lot of dead flys and moths. I beleived they were the guardians of the bathroom. If I didn't bring something they would catch me and make me live in the ligt fixture forever!

When I was a kid, I believed that the way to get to the attic was through the bathroom sink drain. I would stare at the sink for hours trying to figure out how this worked. I finally asked my dad. His response: Counter-clockwise, of course.

i used to believe that a monster would come out of the showerhead if i closed my eyes but it couldnt hurt me if i touched something white, so i always made sure i was holding on to the tile in the tub to be safe.

when i was small, i used to think that the popular boys in my class had hidden cameras in the bathrooms of every girl to see which ones were the prettiest ones. That's why i had to undress very "sexily". Imagine a nine year old doing that...

when i was younger i thought that the restroom was a place where people went to lay down and rest. also, i belived that kindergarten was a garden for people to plant flowers and drink tea

I would think that if i was alone in the bathroom without a light on, i would get dragged away from a ghost from the underworld.

I have a serious case of arachnophobia, so whenever I took a shower, I was always afraid that giant spiders would crawl up out of the drain and eat me alive. Even now, I still stare at the drain and stand as far away from it as I possibly can.
