fear of

I used to believe that after i flushed a toilet a witch would come chasing after me. so i would always run after i was done using the bath room.

my friend and i are 14 and saw a scarey movie with like 8 friends. we got scared and went upstairs and she complained she had to pee. but before she went into the bathroom i had to chack the shower, toilet, cupboards for bad guys, then close the window and wait outside the bathroom door and talk so she didnt think i had left or worse...died. she is an odd child :P how can a bad guy fit in a toilet???

I used to believe that if I dropped something down the floor vent while someone was going to the bathroom, they would turn into a monster and eat me...

when I was younger i was very paranoid at being shot. So when I'd go up the stairs into the dark I'd hold a pillow infront of my chest (like that'd help) and I was terrified of sitting on a toilet because I thought a man would shove his arm up the pipe and shoot my bum :P, man was I ever paranoid.

When I was 4 I was terriblily afraid of the sound of the toilet flushing I used to scream extremely loud, cover my ears and start singing or humming to myself so I wouldn't here it. The problem was eventually solved when my mom made me list to something called the "sounds of the toilet".
I'm better now but at the time it creep the crap out of me!

When I had nightmares, I was afraid to go to the toilet - because I meant the monster/evil thing was in there. I meant it would drag me down and drown me.
I was afraid of the nightmares in a couple of days, before I forgot them. It was scary!

I use to believe that an evil bunny that was gray, had red eyes, and sharp teeth would come up the toilet and try to bite my butt... lol wow i was weird

I used to believe that if you ate while going to the restroom, you would die.

When I was younger i always thought that there would be spiders in the toilet that would come up and bite my butt.(only in my upstairs brother's bathroom) I would avoid that toilet at all costs and when I had to use it i would just squat and not sit!!!~~!!!

it was like two weeks before we sold our house. i was five and my brother was three. we had a problem with our upstairs toilet. it would work fine except for the fact that an air bubble would form and it would make a huge POP. so one morning me and my mom and i were in the living room and my brother woke up and used the bathroom. we hear the flush and the POP. all of a sudden, we hear my brother scream AAHHH THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE POTTY!!!!! (he apparently forgot the problem my dad had explained the other night) so he tries to come downstairs with my mom and me where we are watching . my mom was afraid that one of her kids would end up being a sleep walker and sense our bedrooms were on the top floor she had this saftey gate at the top of the stairs. it was really hard to get open. well my brother is so afraid that he forgets how to open the gate so he flings himself over it and he rolls head over heels doing somersaults down the stairs. he wouldnt use the upstairs toilet untill we mooved into our new house in fear of the monster in the potty.

When I was about ten I was afraid to use the
tiolets at school because I thought that there was
a bomb on the tiolet seat and that the bomb would go off if I sat on the tiolet. so I would have to hold in my pee all day at school.

when i was in preschool i had no problem using toilets until one day i used one and it was clogged up. i screamed b/c i never saw that before and my teacher came in and picked me up. i told her the water woudnt go down and i was crying and she said it wasnt anything to be afraid of. then she kept flushing it and flushing it and it traumatized me for life lol. since that day, i would never use public bathrooms all the way up to age 15 for fear that they would overflow on me. After age 15 id use public restrooms, but only regular ones that dont have the automatic flush on them... to this day! if i absolutly have to use one, then i go into the large handicapt one where i can jump to the side when it flushes automatically! lol Dont want to be stuck in a bathroom and have nasty germy toilet water getting on me.. guess i never got over my fear completely

When I was little I used to believe that when you flushed the toilet (ONLY THE ONE AT MY COUSINS HOUSE) this vampire-like monster would come up out of it and attack you... if you're not out of the bathroom by the time its done. So I would always hurry up and use the toilet, wash my hands, and THEN flush. One time my cousin caught me running out of the bathroom and she asked me what I was doing, and I told her that if I didn't, then the vampire-thing would eat me. She said she'd always believed the same thing. From then on, I knew I wasn't crazy, or alone in my fear of U-bend dwelling vampire-like creatures.

Then I realized that SHE was also crazy and that we both needed to grow up. (We were both only like 7.)

Don't let the vampires get you.

When I was around 6 years old watched the halloween special of this show. In the show a puppet jumps out of the toilet and lazers a guy to death... ever since then, I flushed the toilet 2-3 times just to make sure he didn't come back up.

I was little, I used to think there was a toilet monster in my toilet, and if he didn't like what went down the toilet he would come and eat me. Whenever I would go to the bathroom I would be scared the toilet monster would kill me, so I would always appolagize to " him" out loud, and it seemed to work because he never ate me. One day my mom heard me appologizing to him, and she told me there was no toilet monster... I just wish she would have told me sooner.o think

When I was little I used ot believe there was a toilet monster that lived in my toilet, because I would always hear wierd noises while I went to the bathroom, and if he didn't like what you put down the toilet he would come up nd eat you, so whenever I went to the bathroom I would appologize to him out loud and my parents finally heard me and told me there wasn't a toilet monster. I was mad that they didn't tell me sooner.

I remember when I was very young my parents watched growing pains on TV. In one particular episode one of the children made a home movie about the alligator in the sewer myth where the alligators would come up through the toilets and eat people while they were going to the bathroom.

For a long time afterward I was afraid of the alligators that would come up through the toilets to try and eat me.

Ashley
