I used to be scared of toilets that had black or brown seats, "half-seats" or, even worse, no seats at all. One time I was in the car coming back from a holiday with my step sisters and we all needed to get out and go to the toilet so we stopped at a caravan park, but I refused to go in to the toilets because I was scared of the colour of the seats. Another time I wet my pants at school because the toilets there had black seats.
