When we was younger me and my brother always got moaned at for not pulling the chain. When my brother was about 14/15 the area we were living in had bad weather and we had a powecut. My brother went to bathroom, did his thing came out and came back dowon stairs. " I didn't hear the chain go" my mum said, my brother replied with "It won't work duh" My mum looked puzzled "well the powers off". He thought that the chain ran of electricity! Me and mum still annoy him with it.
I used to belive that the little black hole inside the toilet was a camera. so when i use the toilet i look at the toilet bowl and say "this isn't gonna be very preety so either turn off that camera or you asked for it!" unfortunately i still say that today...(even in public bathrooms)
I used to believe that there was something in the bathroom and would be scared to go toilet by myself. If i was alone in the bathroom, i would start singing to myself to take my mind off the "thing" in there. Once i flushed the toilet i'd run straight out of the bathroom!

When I was about 6 or 7 I used to belive that if I sat on the toilet to long a gremlin would come out of the toilet and bite my butt, so when I was alone I would always flush the toilet and run as fast as I could into my bedroom. I would hide under my bed covers just to make sure the gremlins wouldn't capture me and eat me.

when my sisters and i were younger we were all afraid to flush the toilet. we all thought we were going to be flushed down too! mama if the toilet isn't flushed, it wasn't me!
i was in the toilets in the shopping centre the other day, when a mother and two lttle kids came in, and went into the stall. Obviously one kid had done his business and had gone to flush, and the mother had asked him to wait till his sister had done her business before he flushed. The kid asked why, and the mother replied, "because every time you flush the toilet, a fishie dies, and every time you use too much toilet paper a tree dies." I was somewhat traumatised, sitting in the next cubicle!!

when I was younger I believed my "you know what in the tub" would come to life and bite me in the bum.
I always beilieved when I was young that every time you would do your buisness it would go down the pipes and add to a giant monster made of poop and pee. Somtimes my mom would have to take me to the docter cause I had held my poop in for days..... If the toilet would ever flood that ment that the poop monster was big enough to come and get me. But when the plunger was pulled out i thought I was safe because I thought thhey were the only things that could fight it. Occasionally I would drag the dirty plunger around the house just to feel safe.
i believed that if you sat on the toilet to long a monster would jump out and eat you, this came as a shock to my mum when i ran out of the bathroom tryin to pull my trousers up shouting 'it's goin to eat me, ah.'
i used to believe that if i fell in the toilet i would turn into a goldfish and someone would flush me down the toilet. so i used to make my mom hold my hand whenver i went...in fear i would fall in

When i was young we had a toilet that didn't flush very well and my mum always told me to take a saucepan up there with me when I complained about it not working.
She meant that I should fill it with water and throw the water in the pan as I flushed to help. I didn't know this and for years used the handle to mash my number twos round the u-bend before returning the saucepan to the kitchen cupboard ready for dinner . . .
Nowadays there is always an empty vase in the bathroom to avoid any mis-understanding.

When I was little I used to think I should only go to the loo when I was really ready and not sit on the loo for too long as I thought a witch would come up the toilet and tickle my bum with her long nails if I sat for too long!
I used to be afraid of the bottle of Vanish toilet cleaner my babysitter kept in her bathroom. I thought it was some sort of magic solution that would make anything Vanish, even me if I accidentally got some on myself.

The film arachnophobia had a lasting effect on me. Up until the age of about 12 I would check behind the toilet every time I went in case there was a big spider there waiting to bite my bum.

For a few years, I think from about -10years old, I was always scared that there was a skeleton down my toilet. Disgustingly, if my wee or poo were big r smelly enough it wouldn't come up and touch/bite my bum. This always made sure I closed the lid and flushed the toilet though, lol.
