when i was little, i used to be terrified of the toilet. I was told if you sit there for too long, you get hemmrhoids. I wasnt sure what they were, so i imagined a long arm reaching out of the tolet and grabbing you and sucking you under, and leaving lots of tiny dots on your butt. I also thought that if you werent out of the bathroom by the time the toilet finished flushing something would come out of the filter part and yell at you, and you would never be able to go to the bathroom again.
