when I was little my sister had a sleep-over party and they watched a really scary movie about spiders..I wasnt allowed downstairs but I sat on the stairs listening to sounds..and there was this one part that some woman was attacked by the spiders when she went to the toliet..ever since that night I was really scared..and ditnwant to go to the toilet anymore..
when I finally realised that it wasnt going to happen I thought that there were ghosts and people watching me when I went to the toilet..

I used to believe that you could fall in the toilet and then a big monster would eat your brains out!

When i was about 3 my father got an "oregon trail" computer game for our mac. i would sit next to him while he played on my little plastic chair and i would get so scared whenever i saw the rattlesnake. whenever i sat on the toilet, i would picture a rattlesnake from the game in front of me!! my mother had to stand by the bathroom door until i was about 5, and to this day i can't play that game without getting nightmares!

When I was little, like four or five, I used to believe that there was a snake in the toilet that would bite your butt when you went to the bathroom. Of course this made me believe that I had to go quickly, no messing around.

When I was about 5, this sudden notion came over me that when I flushed, the toilet was going to overflow, so I would therefore have to go and ask someone (usually my mom and dad) if it was okay to flush the toilet.

I think this came from one time when the neighbor girl was over, and she would use unusually large wads of toilet paper even when she peed. One of her wads probably plugged up the toilet and it overflowed.

When I was young and in a public toilet, I always had to finsh going, get ready to leave, and open the door before I flushed the toilet. To this day I still don't know why.

My friend told me that there were knives in the toilet that chopped up anything that went into it, and after she told me that, I was afraid that I was somehow going to fall into the toilet and get my foot chopped off.

in third grade we learned about cities and sometimes rats apeared in the toilet. and i was always afraid to go to the bathroom until i told my mom and she just laughed.

Once while I was sitting on the toilet in a public bathroom, two little kids entered deep in conversation. They each accused the other of being scared. One was accused of the fear of the toilet monster. The other was accused of the fear of the dark. This was disproved by turning off the light. I couldn't resist. I yelled "I AM THE TOILET MONSTER!" They both fled in terror, leaving me to finnish in the dark. It was worth seeing the two trembling later as they warned others of the iminent danger lurking beyond the door.

When I was about 5, I used to think that if I was still in the bathroom when the toilet stopped flushing..then something would come out and eat me. So when I finished my "business", I would flush the toilet and head for the door as fast as I could. As I grew older..I started to turn it into a game and it became fun. I still do it sometimes.

whenever one of my fish died, my brother would flush it down the toilet.. i used to think that the fish would come up and bite me when i was in the bathroom... needless to say i was afraid of the toilet for a while.

when I was a kid, when I was sitting on a toilet I was always looking down in fear. I was sure that I'm in danger of jumping from it a rat and biting my ass.

My friend ayaz used to believe that whenever u flushed the toilet the grinch would come out and breath on you and you would die because he eats toxic waste. he still believes it and now hes 12. His brother put a life size poster of the grinch on his door while he was asleep and he screamed the house down. i used to chase him saying "i've transformed into the grinch! i'm going to breth on you!" and he would run away screaming...
and some ppl think hes smart...

When I was younger I saw on the news that a python came through the sewer and out of someones toilet. I was scared that it would happen to me so before going to the bathroom I would flush the toilet first and hurry up and go before it finished flushing so if there was a snake down there it would get sucked down untill i left. crazy huh?

little ol' me

when i was a kidi had watched an episode of the X-files.. and there was like a mummy guy and he ived in the sewer. and i thought he was gonna get me when i had a bath.. and i also thought he would get me if i didnt look at the toilet after i flushed.. so when i washed my hands i would stare at it through the mirror..
