When I was younger i believed that if you diddn't flush the toilet and close the lid then all the stuff in the toilet would then either go on your hands when you washed them or onto your toothbrush when you cleaned your teeth! My older sister had told me about it for a joke as i always used to forget to flush the toilet.
