For some reason at the school i went to growing up, we told all these scary stories about things that went on in the bathroom, not just the bloody mary urban myth, but looking back im pretty sure we made up alot on our own. There was so many of these scary stories that all my friends and i became terrified of being in the bathroom... as if you went in a certain stall or something that you would be brutally murdered by some guy that apparently "hid" in there. we all bought every story too. well, all of us sub-conciously decided (on our own) that when you flushed the toilet that was the peak of your vulnerability. (who knows? dont ask.) so i would always wash my hands first and then flush the toilet, and then sprint out of the bathroom. i wasnt the only one either.. some of my friends would have to go with other people and open the stall door before they flushed. who knows how we came up with this!?!?
