I was always afraid of toilets, for two reasons. The first reason was that toilets often go stopped up when I used them, and when I flushed the water would rise up to the top. I was always afraid that the toilet would just spray me with nasty water some time. I was also afraid that something would touch me if I stayed on the toilet too long.
I still open the door when I flush the toilet so that I can run in case it splashes.
