when i was about 7 i saw this weird programme about snakes and for some reason i associated it with toilets so for years afterwards i used to be petrified of the toilet flush thinking the noise would attract the snakes to come up from inside the toilet and bite my backside or something so id flush the loo and run out the toilet as fast as i could to escape -it wasnt till i was about 9 when i realised how ridiculous i was being so i decided to face my fear and one day i stayed next to the loo as i flushed it - it was really loud and as i didnt see any snakes i thought i must have scared them off with my new sense of bravery *sigh* they were the good old days...
