A childhood belief about fear of

For some reason, I was incredibly afraid of the urinals in the infants (age 4-7) section of my primary school, particularly the automatic flushing thing they would do. I think I believed that they would flood the place, and it would fill up with water.

For some of my first year there, I refused to go in alone, until I wet myself as a result of that policy. I was still scared of them for a while, though, despite being fine with other urinals - in fact, once in year 5 the junior toilets were being cleaned or something so I had to use the infant ones - even with the knowledge that the urinals were not, in fact, out to get me, I was still somewhat suspicious of them.
