fear of

I once killed a big yucky spider and flushed it down the toilet. My friend told me that I shouldn't have done that because animals got mutated in the sewers and grew really big and could climb out and attack people. For years I did my nmber 1's and 2's in record time to minimise the danger. It was all I could do to contain the screaming....

After seeing "Jaws", I feared sitting on the toilet because a large toilet shark would rush up and bite my butt.

I was convinced that if you didn't wash your hands after going to the bathroom, they would catch on fire. I'm not sure if someone told me this or if it was my own invention, but it worked!

I used to think, that if you flushed the toilet, when you were on your own, the poo monster would come up and get you. Then I realized, that i was no longer suceptible to the poo monster. But I was suceptible to acne, among other things.

I really think my older brother had it in for me. When I was little he told me that it was OK to pee into the toilet, but if I pooped a monster would come out of the toilet and pull me down into it. I really believed him. When I had to do the "number 2" I couldn't think of anywhere else to go besides behind the couch in the living room. I absolutely feared the toilet monster. My parents would always catch me in the middle of the act, and they worried about me for weeks. It got to the point where I would be behind the couch and my mother would say, "What are you doing?" and I would grunt, "Nnnnnooooothing" One day, I finally told my mom what my brother said...and, well, you can imagine how long he was grounded.

I used to believe I had 25 seconds to use the bathroom before a monster ate my butt. So I would pull down pants & start the count down. From start to flush I had to be done in 25 seconds. I think this led to a life full of constipation.

I used to believe that if I lingered too long in an outhouse or public toilet that a snake would come out of the toilet and coil up on my bottom.

I watched an episode of Blue Peter at my Grandparents' house, and on it was a supposed "mummified mermaid."
It scared the heck out of me, and from then on, whenever I used the toilet I would be terrified that one of these demonic-looking mermaids would rise out of the toilet bowl and bite me on the bum.
I had to look down all the time, and be ready to jump up at any given moment, in case one apeared.

It took a long time to get over that.

Blue

I used to believe that there was a vampire living in the S-bend of our toilet. He was only ever awake when I had to get up in the night to go to the loo (of course). He'd hear me come into the bathroom and poke his head up into the bowl. To get rid of him, I weed on him.

In junior school, I used to believe that I would die if I didn't get out of the door before the towel machine clicked after you'd pulled out a fresh section.

I was sure something unspeakably horrible could happen to me if I stayed in the bathroom while the toilet was flushing...like I would get sucked in or something.

I used to believe that toliets ate you after you flushed them

My brother (who was 6 at the time) would never flush the toilet in fear of our new house being blown up!

this is a belief of my 8 yr old cousin. although her 2 yr old brother doesnt speak much he is absolutley petrified of hand dryers that u find in public loos.his sis believes that its cos he thinks they have in side some kind of deadly gas which makes all your toys shrivel up and go purple. ?!?!

argh!!! a hand dryer!!!!

I always beilieved when I was young that every time you would do your buisness it would go down the pipes and add to a giant monster made of poop and pee. Somtimes my mom would have to take me to the docter cause I had held my poop in for days..... If the toilet would ever flood that ment that the poop monster was big enough to come and get me. But when the plunger was pulled out i thought I was safe because I thought thhey were the only things that could fight it. Occasionally I would drag the dirty plunger around the house just to feel safe.

A frightened child

Well when i was littler my friend used to play this game Mortal Combat. Now me being a little sheltered child i was scared of half the things in that video game. There was this one character (the name escapes me) who would rip the skin off of his/her opponents. Shortly after i witnessed that i watched Spice World. The part where the spy dude comes out from the toilet. Well somehow i combined those two ideas together and came up with the solution that a monster lived in the sewers and if I didn't flush the toilet, wipe my butt, and zip up my pants all before the toilet finished flushing the monster would come and rip the skin off my bum. Lots of rushing when it came to bathroom time.

I went to the restroom after watching a show about the holocaust, and I was terrified because I thought Hilter's dead hand would reach up and grab me and pull me down into the bowl...

I used to believe that if I did not get off the toilet soon enough, and hand would come out of the toilet and poke my butthole. I always tried to finish as soon as possible because of this. Or, if I felt like I was taking too long, I would stand up at certain intervals as to confuse "the hand," making it think that it was not all in one sitting.

Kelly

when i was little, ever since i saw the movie HOOK,
i thought that when I'd sit on the toilet, Captain Hook would poke me in the butt with his hook then drag me down there with him.

I used to believe there was a frog inside the toilet , the noise he made ​​was identical , but after a few years of very afraid my aunt Told Me was When there was an air circulation in the pipes.
