My principal at our Elementary School used to say to us not to play around in the bathroom, so of course that made us play around more like this one girl showed her buttcrack and I think I janitor was in there and she reported the incident to the principal so the next day he announced he had just installed camera's in the bathrooms and he made a special request to someone not to show their buttcrack again and so everyday the girl would come in the restroom with a very small umbrella and sit it over her stall, do her buisness and come out. Very stupid. We all thought he was watching us from the camera so we would all bring umbrellas from then on until he announced he has had complaints from parents about the camera thing so he said there never were any but we were still afraid there were so we still carried umbrella's just in case.
i used to think that when i sat down on the toilet a snake would come up from the hole and bite me in the butt. so i would always check before i sat down, and sometimes take a peek while i was sitting down. of course one never came, thank god!
I always go to the bathroom before I take a shower. WHen I was little, I was afraid that while I was climbing into the tub (the toilet was right nnext to the shower) that the devil would jump out and grab my but, or some evil turds would jump out and grab my but, so I would get in the shower as fast as I could. Sometimes I would fall, but that darn devil, or evil turd never got me. I was proud of that.
