Until i was about 6, i always was afriad the toilet would over flow when i flushed it. So i never would. Until my parents started to yell at me for it. So eachtime before I flushed it, I would close the lid, stand on it, and hope for the best. At times I would remain standing on the toilet lid for up to 10 minutes, just to make sure.
