When I was about six or seven, I used to believe that if I sat on the toilet while it flushed it would suck me in. So every time, I would finish doing my business, then stand about three feet away from the toilet. The moment I flushed the toilet, I would run as fast as I could out of the bathroom. I only found out about a year later from my mom who reassured me that it was physically impossible for the toilet to suck me in.

i used to think that lobsters would come out and pinch your butt if you weren't careful while you went to the bathroom.
I used to believe that when I peed, if I could fill up the entire toilet bowl with bubbles I was protecting my family for 1 more day from burglars. To this day, I'm VERY effective at making bubbles :)

When I was 5 our toilet once got clogged and it made a loud noise. When it was fixed I was so scared to use the toilet the next day because I believed that it would explode and kill me when I flushed it.

I often would watch (and still do) horror movies as a kid. They would scare the hell out of me and I hated going to the toilet in the middle of the night in case a werewolf/Freddy Krueger/Rex Harrison's character in Midnight Lace would get me.
I used to believe…
When I was really small I thought that unless you put ya fingers in ya ears when you flushed, you'd be sucked down b/c the toilet would know you were listening. So I used to flush with my elbow, keep my fingers in my ears and then run as far away from the loo as poss until the flushing stopped so i could wash my hands.
I don't quite know when it started, but I was scared that lobsters would bite my butt. I'm 23 now, and sometimes, if I'm using the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I'm half-asleep, I'll get really nervous and scared and think that lobsters are in the toilet bowl, and they're going to bite my butt.

When I was little, I used to believe that one could use a toilet as a trash can, so I would dig stuff out of the bathroom trash (e.g., Band-Aid wrappers, dental floss, etc.) and flush it down the toilet. Eventually, my mom had to call a plumber to get said trash out of there. Boy was she mad.

Because as I child, everything you use is 'child-sized' or 'kid-friendly' ... I used to believe that the toilet seat was another 'kid-friendly' device, built to fit kid-sized bums.
Because mom and dad had larger bums than I did, I figured that they didn't use the toilet seat but had to sit on the cold-hard porcelin bowl.

my neighbour told me to keep the lid of the toilet down because at night time if it was up rats would come up the pipes from the sewer and into your house

Quite a wild imagination i had.

While going to the bathroom I accidentaly dropped my favorite Matchbox toy truck into the toilet. I believed that I could flush away the yellow water before I put my hand into the bowl to get the toy out. I was shocked when my beloved red truck disappeared down the drain.

My grandfather was fastidious about keeping the toilet seat down (yeah, I know...odd for a guy...) and would give us a hard time if we left the lid up. He said it was 'cause rats come up out of the toilet and get into the house. I'm still not sure about that one? Anyone wannna confirm that??? I kept the lid down from then on, however.
I use to believe that went you went poop in the toliet the poop monster would eat it , and he would give youu a present by washing your butt off with water thats why when you went poop you would get wet with water!!
I used to get really scared when the toilet filled right up with water when too much toilet paper was in it, so much so, that I would run out and leave it like that for some unsuspecting bursting member of my family. To this day, when the toilet does that i really do "crap" myself (Pardon the Pun)

When I was about 4 or 5 I saw a Tv show where was sucked into the toilet and ended up in a mad scientist's lab. Of course, after that I was terrified of going to the bathroom and the few times that I didn't wet my pants I would go and then run out of the room screaming without even flushing.
