When I was young I had phobias about everything, but especially when it came to flushing the toilet. I believed that flushing the toilet sent a signal to a witch who knew that you were alone in the bathroom and could come and snatch you up. Well, the bathroom on the first floor of our house was HUGE and it was quite a distance from the toilet to the door. More often that not, I wouldn't flush and just ran out. My brother and I fought over that for years, because he thought I was just gross and didn't understand I was terrified of the bathroom witch!!!
