My brother told me that when you flushed the toilet, a hand came out and grabbed you. In a catalouge, there was a toy toilet, and if you pressed a button, a hand would come out. I was really scared of that (but my brother teased me about it) and I didn't flush the toilet for ages. Even now, I still run out of the toilet room really quickly when I flush the toilet (I am only 12, though)
