when I was little I was scared of the noise that the toilets made. I thought that they would suck me in &I'd get stuck. Befor I flushed I would unlock my stall door & get as far away from the toilet as I could while still flushing it. Then I would run out of the stall at full speed, offten almost hitting other visters to the restroom. To this day I still unlock the door befor I flush - even if it is kinda silly
