i only indulged in sitting on our bathroom floor once to play with my bathing toys because my mom warned me to keep my eyes open for earthworms. she said they tend to crawl out of the spaces between the tiles and enter one's body through his/her holes (you know). i feared bathroom floors since then. now that i'm grown up, i dropped the fear, but i still keep off any tile, even on walls.
