fear of

I used to believe a big monster would come out of my toilet when i flushed if i didnt get out before it stopped flushing...so whenever i would flush i would run out of the bathroom really fast

RUUUUUNNNNNNNN

I used to believe that if you didn't wash your hands after going to the bathroom, you couldn't leave the bathroom.

Your worst nightmare

When I was very little, my mom cleaned the bathroom once, and said that the floor contained poison, so that I wouldn't step on it. After she said that, I believed that if I ever inhaled in the bathroom, I was poisoned. So everythime I had to pee, I held my breath and did everything as quick as possible (i even kept the light out and hte door open!)

I used to believe that motion-sensored toilets were in fact live-feed camera that were remotely-controlled by someone. The controller would then remotely flush the toilet when he/she saw that person was done using the toilet. Obviously, I would feel embarrased using a public restroom knowing that someone was watching me as I went to the bathroom.

I used to believe that if you "did your business" with the lights off that you would go blind... stupid lying big sisters!!

My brother, Paul, used to believe that hand dryers in public toilets were actually dragons and hence had a pathological fear of going into the loos in case he got eaten!

when i was little i found out Elvis Presly died on the toilet i was scared to use the toilet because i thought he would come up and pull me into the toilet.

When I was little my dad told me and my brothers that if we sat on the toilet for too long our intestants would fall out. I was terrified for years this was going to happen so I was race away from the toilet after finishing my business.

TI used to believe that you had to run upstairs and touch the bed before the toilet stopped flushing, else the whole house would collapse.

I used to be afraid of the bottle of Vanish toilet cleaner my babysitter kept in her bathroom. I thought it was some sort of magic solution that would make anything Vanish, even me if I accidentally got some on myself.

wen i was little i thought that the toilet was the way to heaven because lots of my fish got flushed down the toilet when they died and one day i fell into the toilet and i thought i was going to die

I used to think that a snake would come out from the tiolet and bite me. So before I'd sit down I would take a little glance inside.

Lauren

this is was my daughters belief, when she was about 4 or 5 we were at the airport using the bathroom, when the toilet flushed by itself she asked "mom how did it know to flush?" i explained to her there was an electronic eye that detected motion, well ALL that she heard was "electronic eye" she was convinced there was a person sitting behind the wall looking through the hole to see you get up and then they would flush. she was terrified to use a public bathroom with motion sensors after that.

I used to believe that darth vader was down the toilet.

When I was about 5, I had saw a episode of a show called Rescue 911. On the episode, there was a little boy who was going to use the toilet. The little boy went into the bathroom, lifted up the lid, and saw a snake in the toilet that had slithered out of the piping. I was kind of afraid of finding snakes in the toilet after that. One night after a award thing at school, I went to put my pair of hose I took off into the clothes hamper. I was in a hurry and accidently threw them into the toilet. Not noticing, I ran into the dinning room to eat dinner. Afterwards, I went back to the bathroom, lifted up the lid to the toilet, and saw the pair of hose inside. Thinking that it was a snake, I ran away screaming. After that, I always made sure to look in the toilet twice before I sat down on it...

From when I was two till I got to four years old, I had to take all my clothes off before I got on the toilet (even if I had a bow in my hair I would take it off!). I believed that the toilet would suck all the clothes off me and I would never see it again.

I used to think that if you didn't get off of the toilet fast enough once you flushed it, it would eat your butt.

This is terrible...
When I was younger(maybe five-ish) I had heard that Elvis Presley had died on a toilet, so I always thought that if you flushed the toilet, his ghost would come out and get you. I didn't flush the toilet for 2 or 3 years...

I also thought that you got pregnant from kissing.

My dad told me that rats lived in the sewers, and some were as big as cats. He told me they would come up when the lights were out and for years I was terrified of going to the loo at night. I thought they would bite my bum :P and I kept getting off the seat just to check they weren't there.

Lizzie

when i was younger(im 13 just now) i used to think that if you went to the toilet in the dark a massive pig wearing a leather biker jacket, dark glasses, a bandana and a lot of piercings would come up and nibble my bum and to this day i cant go to the toilet in the dark.
