I used to think that if the toliet overflowed that the water would creep down the hall and into my bedroom and swallow me up. Because of this, I would always flush and then run as fast as I could into the living room.
To this day, every now and then when I flush the toliet I feel my heart start to race and my old fear creeping up on me!
