When I was just learning to use the toilet, I would flush it while I sitting on it watching the water go down through my legs. Once I leand back to far and fell in, while the toilet was flushing. I got sucked down it (not all the way of course). My small little arms couldn't pull myself up. I was so scared of the toilet from then on I would use the floor as a toilet.
I remember when I was little- every time I flushed the toilet I would run like mad into my room before a hand came from it and grabed me. Then, after I got over the and thing, I used to think the girl from the Exorcist would appear in the toilet bowl- So I was always afraid to keep the lid up!
I used to believe that if you flushed the toilet when you were still on it your internal organs would get sucked out. The most distressing part of it all was not because that would hurt a whole lot but because they'd have to take you to the hospital sitting on the can and turn you upside-down so everything would slide back in!

my mum grew up on a farm with a long-drop (ie no plumbing) toilet. a guy would come each week to replace the bucket that held all the toilet waste. anyway, my mum always thought the guy just came with a huge wooden spoon to scoop out all the poo etc and never changed the bucket. she thus thought this was the most disgusting job of all.
I used to believe (I was 6-7) that when you flushed the toilet you had to run out of the bathroom, spin around three times, look at a corner in the room and be very quiet because a tiny demon who lived in the toilet would otherwise get you for disturbing his sleep... I still can remember the expressions on my parents' faces :)
i used to think that when i pulled the chain on the loo a man use to jump out and get me so he could get more poo and wee out of me to eat. hey i was only young!

When i was little i shared a room with my older twins sisters.
They used to tell me that there was a creature that lived in the toilet called "murd the turd" who would come from the toilet and kiss me if i didn't go to sleep straight away.
To scare me they used to dangle a brown stocking filled with newspaper, with legs, wobbly eyes and lips from the top bunk when i was sleeping on the bottom.
To prove that he really did exist and did visit me when i only pretended to go to sleep they would put a trail of toilet paper from the toilet to my bed head before bed time. In the morning there would be little brown footprints on the paper and a brown smear on my cheek - brown lipstick thankfully!

When I was a little whipper snapper I used to beleive that if you fell into the toilet whilst sat on it, it would suck you up into a firery underworld never to return! So as you can imagine I used to cling onto the sink really, REALLY tight!
