I used to believe…
For years my brother simply refused to use the toilet and no-one knew why. Whenever we went on trips he would say he didn't need to go and then Mum would find him sqatting in a park garden! It was only when he was about nineteen that we finally discovered that it was our Aunt's fault - at my grandparents house there was a frog in the toilet and she had warned him that it might jump up and bite his bum, thus instilling a crippling fear of toilets in my young, trusting brother.
hall of fame
I used to think that a snake would come out from the tiolet and bite me. So before I'd sit down I would take a little glance inside.
i used to think when you go to the toilet and your still sat on the toilet if you flush the chain when you are still sat down you would get flushed away

i have no idea why but i used to believe that if you flushed the toilet and stood there the toilet would flush out part of your soul so every time i flushed the toilet i would run away :)

I used to believe…
My aunt had me convinced for years that there was a toilet monster that would bite my ass and pull me through the toilet if i took to long to go. I was the fastest pee-er, especially at night. I don't think even she knows how long I was nervous about getting my ass bitten.

After watching Gremlins as a kid and seeing the part where the Gremlin comes up the Tiolet while a man was sitting on it I have forever since had problems sitting on toilets! I am now 26 and still have horrible thoughts that one will come and bite my ass!

I used to belive that if you sat on the toilet to long, and then flushed it,right after you flushed a mermaid would flip ot of your toilet and flip back in.
I used to believe that when you went to the bathroom there was a man waiting in the toilet with a gun waiting to soot your butt. If you didn't hurry up and pee he would shoot you! He Hated pee so after you peed you had 10 sec. to get out or else your dead!
To this day I hate to admit sometimes I'm still freaked out.
I used to believe…
When I was 4 or 5 I thought Gargamel (evil guy on the Smurfs) lived under my toilet...
I used to believe…
When I was like 5 or 7 i thought that in public bathrooms while you went to the bathroom ghosts would surround your stall, and when you flushed it they would rush up and take you away (i'm not sure where). So always used to unlock the stall door before i flushed, not flush, or (rarely) not lock the door!
hall of fame
I used to believe that if I lingered too long in an outhouse or public toilet that a snake would come out of the toilet and coil up on my bottom.
I used to believe that if I stayed in the same room with a flushing toilet, that it would take my soul to the nether world, just like it did with pets. It didn't effect grown ups, because they were already soulless, which is what I would tell my mom when she told me she didn't believe me after I explained why I ran from the bathroom after flushing the toilet.
I used to believe…
When I was little, I used to believe that when I flushed the toilet a snake or a monster would crawl up in my p.p. and I'd die. I would run everytime I'd flush the toilet or not even flush it at all. Now, I'm 13 and still a little freaked...
I used to believe…
After I watched Jaws for the first time, I was horrified to take a bath or go to the bathroom because I thought that Jaws would come through the toilet and bite my butt or he would break through the tile in the bath tub and eat me.
I used to believe…
when i was little i thought that little alligators would come out of the toilet after flushing it. Every time i used the bathroom i would run out immediately after flushing!
hall of fame
I used to believe that if I flushed the toilet before I showered, I would take a shower in dirty toilet water.
I used to believe that whenever I flushed a poo, it would go down this series of pipes till most of the water ran off, at which point it would plop onto the round table of a little meeting room of ''poo'' monsters - little guys made of poo, who ate our poo to survive. :) I wasn't afraid of them, I thought they were doing us an (albeit disgusting) service, kinda like the garbage men.
i used to belive that when i flushed a bug (dead or alive) down the toilet, the next time i went to the bathroom it would be there waiting for me to sit down and then it would crawl up and bite my butt.
so now everytime i kill a bug i stomp on it really hard and trow it out. but now im scared that if it doesn't die when i stomp on it it will crawl out of the garbage and come up to my room.
So, i just make my little sister kill the bugs now. She either throws it outside or she puts it in the next door neighbors garbage = )
I used to believe…
When I was little the hissing noise the toilet made when you flush it scared me. In all the movies I watched the ghosts made hissing noises when they came up behind you, so me, being so little, thought that a ghost came out of the toilet when you flushed and ran as fast as I could from the bathroom after I flushed, turning off the light so the ghost couldn't see.
I used to belive that aligators lived in the sewer, so your poop and pee went to the sewer, so when you go to the bathroom an alligator would swim up the toilet and bite your buttt....i was scared to go to the bathroom for a looooong time lol
