toilets

I used to believe…

my mom told me my grandma had a pot belly. I thought it was from her laying on the toilet and flushing it, and the suction pulled her stomach out and it got stuck that way.

When I was around seven or eight, I used to believe that if I stayed in the toilet for too long after I'd flushed, piranhas would come out of the toilet bowl and eat me. I think this idea came from a dream, which I remember clearly - I was in a boat with two strange men and a woman, none of whom I knew. Piranhas were swimming around under the boat, wearing pink bows on their heads and wellies on their fins. We dropped a cow in the water, and the piranhas ate it in two seconds. Then one of the men fell in the water and the piranhas ate him.
After this dream, I had a system worked out - the piranhas would come out from a reservoir, up the river, up a pipe and would eat me. I also believed that a dead cow would come out of the toilet bowl when the piranhas were having a day off, and kill me to avenge itself.
I still don't like to stay in the bathroom for too long.
xDD

I had two bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. One of the bathroom upstairs is directly above the one downstairs. Than I had the most brilliant idea ever!!! I ran upstairs into the bathroom and flushed the toilet. In, let's say, "mid-flush", I screamed nonsense words into the toilet. Than I sprinted down stairs and down the hall into the downstairs bathroom. I sat there, leaning over the toilet with the lid wide open, staring into the water. Waiting. For my voice.

I used to think that the sound of the toilet flushing was actually monsters roaring, ready to come get me because I did my business on their heads. To this day I still block my ears while I flush.

I used to believe that if I didn't get out of the bathroom before the toilet stoped flushing, that a wicth would pop up, and stare at me untill I left the room. I dunnpo why.

not my belief, but my little cousins. he's about 4 years old and the other day he asked his father if motorcycles were hatched. so apparently, he thinks that motorcycles are born in some way. haha

I used to believe…

when i was little i only went to the bathroom at home and never at school cuz at school the toilets would automatically flush and i thought i would flush down with my poo. i was small and idk, up until 2nd grade, i really had to go and i was at school. i had to have a friend stand outside the door. when the toilet flushed, i RAN out of the stalls.

when i was little, i believed that after i went to the bathroom, i had to run out of the room before it was done flushing, so the toilet monster wouldn't get me and pull me down the drain.

I used to believe that aeroplanes had an entire toilet block on them (with normal toilets, not vacuum toilets)!

I used to wait until the toilet tank was done filling entirely before I washed my hands because for some reason I thought that if I didn't, the contents of the toilet would come through the sink faucet and get my hands dirty.

I used to believe that you should never ever turn on the faucet in the bathroom sink right after flushing the toilet -- because the water going down the toilet would come out of the faucet! A similar belief held for drinking fountains located right outside of public restrooms.

When I was little, and my mom was trying to potty train me, my grandad and my uncles (who weren't much older than me) told me that there was a potty monster and if I sat on the toilet, it would come and get me.

I used to think that every time someone whent #2, it would go to a giant underground lad, where a bunch of sciantists would sit around analysing the poo. They analized it to find out what the person was thinking while they were on the toilet. I would always try to think clean, pure thoughts while I was going to the bathroom, so that I wouldn't be arrested.

i used to believe that after you flushed the toilet you had to get out of the bathroom as fast as you could or a man would crawl out of it and pull you in with him. until i moved into a new house (and i'm not sure why this is when it stopped) i had to wash my hands in the kitchen sink because i was too scared to stay in the bathroom for too long.

When I was a kid, my older brother told me that in Japan, they don't have toilet paper. Instead, they have a whole in the wall. You would wipe with your hand, and then stick your hand in the wall only for someone employed on the other side to hit your hand with a brick. This would make you stick the hamd in your mouth - all clean!

I believed this until I was about 12 when I was watching a travel show, showing a motel in Japan - with NORMAL toilets!! haha

I used to believe that if you flushed something down the upstairs toilet it would come out the one downstairs. instead, i just clogged the toilet with a toy elephant.
