When I was young, i believed my brother's tale of the gremlins in the toilet. He used to tell me that if i didnt put the toilet lid down BEFORE i flushed the toilet, that the gremlin would jump up and bite my tush. I still find myself lowering the lid, and for a very long time, i would run after flushing the toilet in public restrooms.
