i used to go to the bathroom as quickly as i could because i was afraid that there was a snake just sitting in the toilet pipes, waiting for me to go and that it would come out and bite my butt if i didn't get off quick enough.
this mainly came from my older cousin telling me that snakes could get into a house by any little hole or entering in the wall or pipes. and also that snakes were afraid of the dark.

When I was young I believed that after flushing the toilet a witch would come out and get me. I could stop this from happening by running to my room and standing under the light until the sound stopped. The bright coloured blobs caused by looking directly into the light bulb kept me safe. I am now 30 years old and have recently stopped this habit.

When I was small, I was always afraid that a snake would come up out of the toilet while I was on it. Well, in my early twenties, a boyfriend at the time had a snake that he kept at my house. He put it in the bathroom and shut the door while we went out one day. When we came back it was gone. Guess where it had went. It was my childhood nightmare come true!
I used to believe that there were two monsters in the toilet, a smart, mean one that was the boss and a dumb one that was his henchman. When you were sat on the toilet I they would be plotting how to get you once you flushed the toilet (that was the only time they could get you). I always used to open the toilet door before flushing so that I could jump out of the room before they got me. The dumb monster always used to trip up and the nasty monster would yell at him for missing me. The nasty monster was the deep noise that comes first when you flush and the hissing of the cistern filling up again was the dumb monster's whiney voice!

My father had a poster (I'm sur eyou've all seen it) Of a giant ape climbing out of a toilet. Well my brother beleived that if he sat on the toilet too long an ape would come out and eat you. I beleived that if you fell in the toilet (we had big ones and it was very easy to do this when your 3) you would turn into an ape. Imagine my terror when my other brother who was about 10 tried to flush me down.
