When I was little I was afraid of public toilets, esp. the ones at my school. I was terrified that when I flushed the toilet I would get sucked in, so after completing my businessI would have to pull up my pants, take a deep breath, hold the door open partially with one hand, and when I was ready carefully push down the handle and run as fast as possible out of the stall.
