My older sister always told me that if I didn't wash my hands with soap after I went to the bathroom, I would die of some pee-related disease. So naturally, I would soap up heavily. Then she tells me that if I didn't get all of the soap off, I would get cancer. Like I didn't have enough to worry about already!

When I was a kid, my cousin told me that if you sat on the toilet for too long at her house before or after you "did your business" a hand would come up and grab onto your butt. I still worry about that happening sometimes. I think it happened in a movie or something.

When I was younger i believed that if you diddn't flush the toilet and close the lid then all the stuff in the toilet would then either go on your hands when you washed them or onto your toothbrush when you cleaned your teeth! My older sister had told me about it for a joke as i always used to forget to flush the toilet.

I used to believe that evil leprechauns lived in the u-bend. I went to the bathroom as fast as I could and close the seat cover before they could come up and bite my butt.

I grew up in the city. I was never afraid of the boogeyman in the woods. Instead, I was afraid of kidnappers.
In kindergarten, it was a long walk down a generally deserted hallway to the bathroom. I believed that if I flushed the toilet, the kidnapper would know what stall I was in. As a result, I never flushed when I peed at school.
I now believe that it's really inconsiderate to not flush a public toilet after using it. I'm glad I've learned something in the last 25 years.

i used to believe if you sat on the toitlet long enough, captin hook from the movie "hook"(w/ robin williams) would come out of the hole and poke me in the butt. i still get scared today.

For no reason I can remember when I was really little I believed Santa lived wherever the pipes in the toilet led to. I tried to write a Christmas list on toilet paper and flushed it to send it to him. I felt very sorry for him.

I used to think if you weren't quick enough getting off the airplane toilet seat, you would be flushed down the toilet and out into the air.

Admittedly my Dad had a part to play in that - telling me the toilet waste flies out into the air like it used to do (true) on train toilets - straight on to the track.

Eww huh?

i used to believe that something would come out of the toilet [preferrably mice] and bite my butt. i still have that problem when i use the bathroom. [and im 20]. lol.

I used to believe…

When I was in first grade, my family took a vacation to Europe. We took a small 14-or-so passenger plane to get from one place to another, and my parents joked that it was child size. This got me thinking that in Europe they were more considerate to small kids. When we got to France, at the hotel there were two sinks. One was normal size, and the other one next to the toilet. I was so excited that they made kid-size sinks.
My parents later told me that it was a bidet, not used for washing hands.

I used to think that the reason you should not flush the toilet when someone was in the shower was because what you flushed would come out of the shower head!

I used to believe that when you flushed to toiley you were letting it drink the water in the toilet, but pee was better tasting. I thought when the toiley got thirsty it would send messages to your mind telling you to come pee.

When I was a kid I used to believe that crocodiles would swim up the toilet and bite my butt - crocodiles live in the sewers!
