When I was little, I believed in something I called 'the bathroom genie'. He looked like the little blue dude from Aladdin, but he lived right at the bottom of the toilet (rather than, say, the bottom of a lamp). If you didn't get off the toilet immediately after going to the bathroom, he would come out and eat you. This troubled me in the hygiene department for a few years.
