When I went to camp a couple of years back, when I was about 9, there were two bathrooms, and on one of the bathroom doors it had a little sticker that said , "Toilet camera used for research only." So I told the entire cabin that if you didn't hurry up and do your business, the toilet camera would snap a picture of your butt!

When I was a junior school, the girls had 2 rows of cubicles in their toilets, one with high level cisterns (like in the boys) and the other with (what I now know were) close-coupled WC/cisterns. I though that this latter row of cubicles contained the girls urinals, and wondered why they had to hide away to wee when us boys used the urinal in the open.

When I was younger, I was scared of going to the toilet, as I believed that an evil witch (dressed up in the traditional pointy hat and all) wuld rise up from the toilet (even tho I was sitting on it) and poke me in the bum with her wand and then cackle. Therefore, I wuld go as fast as I could and sprint out.

When I was 3 or 4, I thought that everything that was flushed down the toilet was stored in the rectangular tank behind the seat. I used to wonder how they fit all that stuff in there, especially in public restrooms... the pipes by the handle were so small!
I used to believe that if I wasn't at home, I wasn't allowed to go to the toilet unless someone offered, as my mum had told me not to take something at someone's house unless they offered it to you. Consequently, whenever i was at a friend's house, I had "accidents" a lot. Fortunately I grew out of this at 7

When I was little, around 10, I used to think that portable toilets were scary. Because one day I was at one of my little brothers baseball games and I had to go to the bathroom. So on my way to the potty, this boy around 16 or 17 came over and told me that there were snakes that lived in the porta john. He also told me that the snakes would come out and bite you in the butt when you went to pee. So every time after that till I was about 13 or 14 I would check for snakes every time I went to go to the potty in a porta john.

The reason was that I had been watching too much television and believed that flushing the toilet would call the monster from this finnish children's show I loved.I kept imagining this "Hufsa"(as the monster was called) rising out of the toilet and following me around, turning everything on her path into ice. I was really scared.

When I was a toddler my older brothers ruined my potty training. They told me that there was a monkey living in the toilet and that it was going to bite my butt. That scared the heck out of me. I refused to use the toilet for a long time after that!
