toilets: fear of

My sister and dad were talking about a movie where aliens come out of the toilet, so for like three years i would go to the bathroom really quick then I would flush the toilet then run down the hall to where I was safe

i used to believe that after you flushed the toilet you had to get out of the bathroom as fast as you could or a man would crawl out of it and pull you in with him. until i moved into a new house (and i'm not sure why this is when it stopped) i had to wash my hands in the kitchen sink because i was too scared to stay in the bathroom for too long.

when i was a kid i was scared of sitting in the western style of loo coz i believed that one day a snake might come from the hole and bite me on my bums..!!!
and i woukdn't be able to see it coming...!!! :p

I was always terrified of toilets as a child and believed monsters could come out when you flushed, so I'd get as far out of the cubicle as I could while still in reach to flush, and then hurtle out of there as fast as possible so the monster wouldn't catch me.

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.

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 was told that God could see you wherever you were... i figured that included when you were on the loo, and being a shy little thing, I didn't want God to see me on the loo... so I didn't go for two days!!!

When I was little I thought the devil lived in the toilet and if I flushed it he would come out and take me with him. So I would flush and run really fast into the living room. Silly me!

Until I was in my teens, I believed that a monster lived in the toilet, just past where you can't see. When I flushed, I would make a run for it before it reached out for me.

As a kid I refused to use toilets with those little half-circle fresheners that hooked on the side. They looked scary, they smelled scary, and they had me in a very vulnerable position.

When I was about five or six years old, our church had this foul toilet behind the altar. It was a non-flush toilet, and it was real, real deep. I used to sit on there and hang on for dear life, because I was scared that I would fall down into the thing and never be able to get back out. Yuk. Now, though I can sit on the loo with no fear... hahaha

When I was in pre-school, I borrowed a record of Jack and the Beanstalk from our local library. Something on the record must have reminded me of flushing toilets, because for months afterward I was afraid that the ogre would come out of the toilet and get me if I flushed it. Needless to say, my parents got very irritated with the unflushed toilets!

When my sister was little i let her watch aliens and for weeks after she was frightened to go to the toilet alone incase a facehung would come out and get her.

I used to believe that if I sat on the toilet too long a snake would come up and bite me.

when i was wee i used to think that the toilet was alive at night and if u sat on it would eat u so i was always too scared to go to the toilet at night!!!!!!!!!!

I used to believe that a witch lived in the toilet. If I didn't close the lid and close the bathroom door the witch would come out in the night and get me. I later learned that my sister told me this to get me to close the lid and close the bathroom door.
