I was helping my daughter go potty in a public restroom and my 2 year old son was also with us...he wandered off and when I caught him he was holding the 'sanitary cake' from a urinal...about to take a bite! He thought it was a big candy.

true story - I was helping my 3 year old just-potty-trained son go pee and when done he wanted me to turn on the sink faucet before flushing the toilet so he could "see the water from the toilet come out the sink"
I had a roommate that believed (when she was a child) that there were people that worked in the "poopie factory" and they would clean the water. She thought they lived under the ground below the toliet, so she would flush letters and candy to them so they would not get lonely. She said the toilet was constantly clogged and her Dad always wondered why.

I used to believe that if you didn't flush right after you pooped,a giant snake would come up and try to bite your butt.I always made sure to flush.
i recall one afternoon i was at the mall with my twin brother and grandma. As it was i was always afraid that the escilator would eat me (this could be because my brother called it the alligator).One time he actually got me to ride it instead of the elivator and that one time it caught my shoe lase and scared me to death. later that night we got home and i walked into the bathroom and was doing my busness when my loving bro came in and turned off the light and told me that the alligater was goin to eat me, butt first. needless to say i sat on the potty screaming till my sister came up to calm me down.
that was nearly 10 years ago and to this day i still cannot walk into any bathroom without the lights on.

When I was little I used to think that a restroom was a place where you would sit down and rest. I imagined a luxurious room full of coutches, pillows, and blankets.
One time on a family trip to Disneyland, my mom asked us if anyone needed to go to the restroom. I was very tired- we had been walking around all day- so I said that i needed to go. I was very confused when my mom took me into the grungy bathroom and wondered where all the coutches were.

One day we were driving from Fairbanks, Alaska to Anchorage and on the way there aren't very many gas stations so they have lots of portal potties along they way. When I was going to use it my brother told me that I should be careful because the raccoons might jump up and slash my behind so I have never used a portal potty since.

When I was about 5, this sudden notion came over me that when I flushed, the toilet was going to overflow, so I would therefore have to go and ask someone (usually my mom and dad) if it was okay to flush the toilet.
I think this came from one time when the neighbor girl was over, and she would use unusually large wads of toilet paper even when she peed. One of her wads probably plugged up the toilet and it overflowed.
