fear of

When I was 5, my brother in-law told me that when you flush the toilet that if you're still on it, you'll get flushed down the toilet. I beleived that until I was almost seven, when I kept sitting on it after i flushed to see what happened. To my surprise, nothing did.

Weirdo

well, my brother used to tell me to flush the toilet because if i dont, the monster in the toilet will come up and get me. i was also told that the sound i made when i flush the toilet, was the monster's screaming. i was still a little afraid of flushing toilet now though...ha ha

i used to think that when i sat down on the toilet a snake would come up from the hole and bite me in the butt. so i would always check before i sat down, and sometimes take a peek while i was sitting down. of course one never came, thank god!

I used to be afraid to flush toilets. I have no idea why..I think it was the noise..but I was scared to death of auto-matic flush toilets because I thought I might get flushed o_O

I used to think the Grinch was going to pop out of my toilet when i was younger.

When I was little my mom told me if I don't aim for the little flush hole in the toilet, then a man would come to the house that night steal my penis. I still aim to the hole to this day. THANKS MOM

After watching the OLD FASHIONED horror movies, I was afraid that the monster from the movie would come up from the toilet and grab me!!!

When I was little, I belived that monsters would walk around downstairs after we all went to bed. I thought that if I flushed the toliet they would hear it and come running up the stairs to kill me.

I used to believe that when the toilet was flushed, the loud noise was a monster growling at me. I would run as fast as I could to my bedroom and hide under the bedclothes until the noise stopped.

When i was little, i watched the Twilight Zone with my dad. and well, ya know when you are young inages get suck in your head that seem just oh so real...well there was this thing that ate people...i have no idea what it was but it scared the living crap out of me...and somehow that got transferred to the toilet, that if you didnt go enuf, or forgot to flush, or anything, that it would come up and kill you..eat yer booty or sumthin. i used to run outa the bathroom because of that! lol

I used to belive, if you flushed the toilet and it smelled bad a poo tornado would take you in the toilet.

When I was younger I used to think that when I was going potty then somebodies hand (or something) would come out of the hole in the toilet.

You know how people some times call the toilet a throne.

Well I used to think there was a whole villige that lived under the toilet and I was there queen and they wanted me back. So every time I'd flush the toilet I would run away so they couldn't get me.

I used to believe that a vampire was in the toilet and if you did not get off quick he would bite your but.

After I read the 2nd Harry Potter book, I was convinced that if I flushed the toilet, a basalisk would jump out.

When I was little, I was tarrified when the the toilet flushed. I would think that a monster would come out. So, when ever I flushed the toilet I would run full speed out of the bathroom.

When I was little about 4 or 5 I use to think that if I use the bathroom with the door shut instead of open the toliet would eat me. I got this idea from a movie I saw.

I watched "Ghostbusters" when I was smaller. And I had seen the scene where a monster sticks his hand in the toilet. Well I was scared to go to the bathroom because I was afraid a moster would accidently think no one was there and accidently stick his hand up my buttox. So I would sing songs like "Pushing it and [ushing and pushing it wild." and other rap songs so he would be scared of me and know I was there.

I used to belive that when you flushed the toilet, the potty monster came and tried to drag you down into the sewer.

I also belived that the potty monster would come and try to eat the person that was closest to them!

Once, when my dad flushed the toilet, I screamed "DONT! Mr.Pottymonster will either eat you or drag you down to the sewer!" He looked at me like"what the HECK!"

My friend Aliana told me in 1st grade that a ghost had come out of the toilet in the big stall in the girls bathroom and had written "GET OUT! GO AWAY!" in blood on the mirror, and my friend Beth ( who had moved) had gotten killed and eaten and that's why she wasn't at school anymore. So, then I was scared of the loud noise the toilet flushing made, afraid that the ghost would come out, so since my hands were all pee-y, I'd cover my ears with my elbows and go and and wash my hands, not looking in the mirror, and RUN OUT of the bathroom!! I even did that at home. My parents thought I was weird...
