When I was very little, my mom cleaned the bathroom once, and said that the floor contained poison, so that I wouldn't step on it. After she said that, I believed that if I ever inhaled in the bathroom, I was poisoned. So everythime I had to pee, I held my breath and did everything as quick as possible (i even kept the light out and hte door open!)
