My sister told me once of a rat coming out of someone's toilet (dunno if it was true) but then I was afraid of a sewer rat coming out of the toilet and biting my butt when I was on the toilet. I also though that I wasn't safe from the rat until I was out of the bathroom and down the hall before the flush was completed. I was a weird little cretin.
