My father used to say playing the lottery was just flushing your money down the toilet. I actually thought there were people who went to toilets, threw their money in and flushed! I never understood why people wanted to do this until I was about 10.
i used to be terrified of the toilet suddenly flushing while i was on it and pull me into it in the process. i thought it would grab my by my shirt tail so i decided the simplest solution was to go to the bathroom in the nude. i also for some reason felt the need for someone else to wipe me. this resulted in a casual night at a restaurant when all of a sudden a naked boy came running out of the bathroom, naked, screaming "mommy i need you to wipe me". yeah, i thankfully got over this one...

I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet, a pipe would come out of the side of the house, dumping your waste in the garden.

When I was 4 or five, I believed that the toilet was a portal to hell. When you flushed, it opened up the gates allowing the devil to come up and get you. I thought the devil was so mad because we dumped all our crap in his house.

Alright when i was little i went to the bathroom wierd. I saw that movie abotu the little ball creatures that come out of the toilet and decided that if I HAD to use the water closet, I would do it safely. I basically squatted, yes with my feet on the seat. Like i was doin squat excercises. Needless to say, aiming was hard, but I think I had relatively good aim. I remembered this cause somehwo someone aquirred a picture of me in my "ritual".

Not mine, but this came from my 3-yr-old daughter yesterday.
She refused to go potty anymore, and when I asked the reason, she pointed out that the toilet water was now blue, after dropping in a Ty-D-Bol disk in the tank.
Her reasoning was that the water was now too pretty to urinate in.
Have you ever tried to remove a soggy toilet disk with a BBQ tong..?

When I was little, I used to think that when you went into public restrooms, there were people hiding behind the mirrors who could see everything that went on in the bathroom. I used to glare at the mirrors as I washed my hands and tell the people (by talking to mirror) that I wasn't going to go to the bathroom because I knew they were there.

When I was very young we had a vacation cabin in the middle of nowhere. No electricity, no running water, and an awfully smelly outhouse. My mother once told me not to sit too long or I might get hemmorhoids. For many years after I thought hemmorhoids were little animals that would jump out of the "hole" and bite my behind!

When I was a little kid I saw a movie where a guy was in the electric chair and I thought the toilet was a sort of elctric chair cause it had a handle too, and so when I flushed i would run screaming in fear of being electrocuted, one day my mom was on the toilet and I came in and she flushed while she was on it and I screamed 'MOMMMY your gonna be shocked run for your life!!!!! auuuggggghhhhh"
I first remember when I was 5, my parents would take us every summer to campgrounds. You know those outhouse toilets with the HUGE hole in the seat? Well, I was so scared to sit on it I started crying, because I really believed I was gonna fall in (I was very small) and drown in the sewer, or that a monster would grab my butt and pull me in it. Then I would never be found!
I'm still afraid I'll fall in after 25 yrs... :(

When I was small, my friend told me there's alligators living in the sewers. I reckoned the alligators must be very small in order to be flushed down the toilets. I have a fear that the tiny alligators will come out of the toliet while i'm doing my business and bite me. I had a hard time doing my business after that. I look down into the toilet everytime I'm doing my business ever since, until 4th grade.

When I was three or so, I believed that toilet fairies would come up out of the toilet late at night to get a drink in our bathroom. After my bath, I always insisted on leaving them a saucepan full of my bathwater, thinking they would appreciate the offering.

when I was little I thought I was the only person who pooed, and my parents payed all the stores and resturants to install toilets just for me.

I used to think that if you went to the "bathroom" you peed and if you went to the "restroom" you just sat down and rested. . .

When I was about 7 or 8, my grandfather visited a farm. I had to use the restroom, and two doors said "pointers" and "setters." Well, I didn't have a clue, so I just guessed "pointers." Oops!

When I was a kid I overheard my Mom talking on the phone to her cousin. The cousin's husband apparently had to have hemorrhoid surgery, and I heard my Mom say it was caused by "staying on the toilet too long." The only thing I could figure out was that the poo made poison fumes that wafted up to his bottom and made a disease on it.
