I used to think that the pictures in the handicapped stalls meant that there was a bathroom inside the store. If I needed to use the bathroom when we pulled up to the store I'd think good they have a toilet in there.

At school I always wondered what the boy's toilets looked like I used to believe they had dragons guarding theirs, I used to believe that unicorns guarded the girl's toilets, I did go in to have a look, I was surprised to find it was blue. I was never caught or in trouble.

I used to believe that toilets would open and swallow you up because they got dirty!!

When I was a child, our toilet was at the dark end of the house. For some inexplicable reason I thought that a puppet (Loobie Loo) from a popular children's pupet show - Andie Pandie - would grab me if I hadn't gotten away from the toilet before the flush finished.

When i was 6-10 i use to believe that there was some weird sea monster in the toilet so when i flushed i would run out to the hall way but naked and pull my pants up so the monster wouldn't get me.
I used to believe that a hand would come out of the toilet bowl, grab me and pull me into the toilet--so i would try to go to the bathroom as quickly as possible and check it often.

When I was four my dad and much older brother took me to see Men in Black at the cinemas, and when the shop bloke has his head blown off and grew it back, I became terrified of flushing the toilet incase he grew out of it (I was v.young!). My mum went mad when she realised :D I still get scared flushing the loo now!
I used to believe that flushing the toilet awoke monsters underneath the bathroom sink. Every time I went to the bathroom I would wait until the VERY last second and then quickly flush and run away.
I used to believe, that a devil will get me, when i stay too long on the toilet and he will break through the ground or the wall. so every hair on the surface gave me the creeps, cause I thought that are the first cracks. I still feel a little uncomfortable in toilets with closed doors.

When I was a little girl, my older brother told me that Oscar the Grouch lived in toilets and he would attack at random moments. I tried extra hard to pee without touching the seat for a few years...

after my grandmother let me watch "The Blob," I was convinced that any time I used the bathroom I was in eminent danger. I thought the blob was going to come up through the toilet and get me. I don't remember if anything like this ever happened in the movie, but for years and years I would never sit down completely on the toilet seat, or I would look down into it while going to the bathroom, just to make sure!

When I was very small I really used to belief the airplanes' toilets released the crap in mid air, like pidgeons. Back then I was very afraid of planes overflying me...

I overheard a friend of my grandmothers talking about her hemorrhoids and how horrible and painful they were. Later I asked my grandmother what hemorrhoids were and she said �they happen when you spend too much time on the potty�. For a good three years I was afraid of the toilet.

At the zoo near where I live they had this black widow spider that lived in a closed toilet, I was young but my parents still told me it was poisonous, and I swear to God one time it wasn't there! For months I had to check every time I went to the toilet!
I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet, there was a guy behind the toilet and reached up and grabbed the bowel stuff.... for the longest time as soon as i flushed the toilet I would run out of the bathroom so he couldn't grab me by accident!

A cousin, who was a few years older than me, once informed me that anything flushed down a toilet was stored in the tank on the back, then removed at night by a man who went around to each house and emptied the tanks with a vacuum cleaner. It was important, she warned me, that I should never go to the bathroom at night, lest I be caught there when the toilet man came and have my butt sucked off by the vacuum.
I was not convinced, but I knew that telling her she was wrong wouldn't go over well, so I don't know how long she went on believing that one.

ahhh.. when I was young(probably 3-6), I believed there was a family that lived underground and the sewage lines all went to them or similar families, and that they ate my poop and that's where the poop went. I had long discussions with the son of that family. I also believed they would become enraged if I didn't supply them with fresh poop.

one time when i was 4 there was a roach in the toilet n ever sence i was 7 i would look i nthe toilet before i sit down sumtimes i look now in then u can never be to sure
I used to believe that motion-sensored toilets were in fact live-feed camera that were remotely-controlled by someone. The controller would then remotely flush the toilet when he/she saw that person was done using the toilet. Obviously, I would feel embarrased using a public restroom knowing that someone was watching me as I went to the bathroom.
I used to think that in the bathroom at school if you found a special button in the last stall then you would get to enter this magic place full of candy with a castle and go there every day insted of school.
