I used to believe that when you go poop a snake might come out of the toilet and bite your butt.

When I was little I was terrified of automatic toilets. I thought that they would suck me down too.

When I was little, my stepfather used to have the game "Resident Evil" and he kept the Playstation in the living room. I used to believe that if I flushed the toilet in the middle of the night, the zombies would come out and get me. I'm still afraid of flushing in the middle of the night. The only difference is that now, I have the courage to flush.

When I was young my best friend and next door neighbor told me that when you flush the toilet an evil witch comes out and sucks you down. I believed this for a really long time, longer than i'd like to say. Even now, if I'm alone in the house and go to the bathroom I leave the door open so i can run out faster. I'm 20.

I used to think when you went the bathroom the toilet would suck you down. I would do my business then shut the lid, stand on the toliet and flush it. I also thought farts were actually green and people could see when you fart.

Jessica

Not sure why, but, I believed everytime I flushed the toilet Captin Hook would come up, out of the toilet, and get me. So, I would flush the toilet and sprint out of the bathroom.

Ashley

When I was a kid I was afraid to use a pay toilet at the laundromat because I thought if you stayed in there too long, a giant pinball-type plunger would shove you out with you pants down around your ankles.

Ron

I used to believe that if I flushed the toilet at night after everyone was asleep it would eat me and there would be no one there to bear witness to my death.

Nellie

I used to believe that whenever I flushed the toilet at night, ghost would come out of it, so whenever I flushed I had to run back to my room.

I used to believe that if I spent too long peeing, germs from the toilet would travel back up the stream and make me sick.

Dave

As a kid (5 or 6 years old), I used to believe that if toilet water splashed from the bowl and touched you as you where flushing, you would get herpes or some nasty infection and die. I would gingerly reach over and smack the knob, run out of the bathroom at light speed and slam the door.

Moth - the other white meat

When i was young i would run out of the bathroom whenever i flushed the toliet because i thought i would be sucked down into it if i did not get out of the room before it finished. It took me until i was much older to be able to stay through the entire flush.

Bubbles

When I was very young I was positively convinced that flushing the toiltet would unleash an evil genie upon me. As such, on the rare occasions that I did flush, I'd race out the door and slam it behind me.

Hannah

When I was young, I thought that there was a scorpion-like creature that lived in the toilet plumbing so I spent as little time possible sitting on the toilet.
