I used to believe that there was a vampire living in the S-bend of our toilet. He was only ever awake when I had to get up in the night to go to the loo (of course). He'd hear me come into the bathroom and poke his head up into the bowl. To get rid of him, I weed on him.

I used to believe that toilets were actually for washing your feet, until I climbed in to do so and got stuck! When I tried to get out I kept hitting the flush handle and the water rose up to my armpits! My brothers heard me screaming and decided it was more fun to watch me struggle in the bowl than to take me out.
I used to have to hover over toilet seats after I saw the movie Gremlins because I thought one was going to bite me.

Once when I was about 5 I wanted to be grown-up lady so I used some of my mum's perfume.

I was so scred that I started to cry, and when my mum asked what was wrong I had to lie!

Once, when i was younger, i saw a show on TV where a snake got in the plumbing of an apartment building and came out the toilet while some kid was in the bathroom. I took the fastest poo's I could for awhile and I still think about it every once and awhile.
I watched an episode of Blue Peter at my Grandparents' house, and on it was a supposed "mummified mermaid."
It scared the heck out of me, and from then on, whenever I used the toilet I would be terrified that one of these demonic-looking mermaids would rise out of the toilet bowl and bite me on the bum.
I had to look down all the time, and be ready to jump up at any given moment, in case one apeared.
It took a long time to get over that.

Whenever I flushed the toilet, particularly at night, I used to believe that a scary monster would come crawling out from the u-bend and chase after me and kill me, or something.
So consequently, I used to run like the wind as soon as I'd flushed the toilet and got back into my bed and pulled the covers over.
I used to believe that a Freddy Kreuger type serial killer would come and get me through the toilet and tear me into little bits. As a consequence I used to barely perch on the loo and would run from the bathroom the very second I had pulled the chain. Nobody ever did launch themselves at me from the around the u-bend so I eventually forgot this fear until, when I was 15, I happened to watch an episode of the X-Files where a serial killer called Eugene attempts to do exactly this to a nice lady. Subsequently, I never linger in bathrooms.
