When I was little I remember seeing something on TV about a snake being in a woman's toilet. Ever since then I used to think that if you took too long to poop, a snake would come out of the hole at the bottom where everything flushes down. I used to periodically look and see if anything was down there before I was done, I'd sometimes leave the bathroom with my heart racing.
It wasn't till I got a little older I realized that it's pretty much impossible for snakes to get through the pipes.
