When I was 3 my cousin (she was like 22) took me to Subway, where her boyfriend worked. He was really nice, and offered me a cookie and some lemonade. I gladly took the offerings, and after gobbling them down, I had to use the restroom. Well, after I had flushed, and was beginning to was my hands, I realised the toilet was overflowing! I was freaked out, I thought I was going to drown, so I ran to the door. Unfortunatly, the door was jammed, and wouldn't open, so, I began to frantically beat it yelling "AMY.. AMY IT'S GONNA GET ME, AMY HELP!!!" She came running, but the door wouldn't open for her. She worked at it, and it opened, I jumped into her arms murmuring "Amy it was going to get me". -It is now 11 years later, and I am still afraid. I never shut the bathroom door completely, and I always run out of the bathroom at top speed, to return after the toilet is done running and wash my hands.
It was the most terrifying moment of my life.
