I used to think that the pictures in the handicapped stalls meant that there was a bathroom inside the store. If I needed to use the bathroom when we pulled up to the store I'd think good they have a toilet in there.

At school I always wondered what the boy's toilets looked like I used to believe they had dragons guarding theirs, I used to believe that unicorns guarded the girl's toilets, I did go in to have a look, I was surprised to find it was blue. I was never caught or in trouble.

A cousin, who was a few years older than me, once informed me that anything flushed down a toilet was stored in the tank on the back, then removed at night by a man who went around to each house and emptied the tanks with a vacuum cleaner. It was important, she warned me, that I should never go to the bathroom at night, lest I be caught there when the toilet man came and have my butt sucked off by the vacuum.

I was not convinced, but I knew that telling her she was wrong wouldn't go over well, so I don't know how long she went on believing that one.

ahhh.. when I was young(probably 3-6), I believed there was a family that lived underground and the sewage lines all went to them or similar families, and that they ate my poop and that's where the poop went. I had long discussions with the son of that family. I also believed they would become enraged if I didn't supply them with fresh poop.

I used to belive that if you sat on the toilet to long, and then flushed it,right after you flushed a mermaid would flip ot of your toilet and flip back in.

I used to believe that if I flushed the toilet before I showered, I would take a shower in dirty toilet water.

I used to believe that whenever I flushed a poo, it would go down this series of pipes till most of the water ran off, at which point it would plop onto the round table of a little meeting room of ''poo'' monsters - little guys made of poo, who ate our poo to survive. :) I wasn't afraid of them, I thought they were doing us an (albeit disgusting) service, kinda like the garbage men.

i used to belive that when i flushed a bug (dead or alive) down the toilet, the next time i went to the bathroom it would be there waiting for me to sit down and then it would crawl up and bite my butt.
so now everytime i kill a bug i stomp on it really hard and trow it out. but now im scared that if it doesn't die when i stomp on it it will crawl out of the garbage and come up to my room.
So, i just make my little sister kill the bugs now. She either throws it outside or she puts it in the next door neighbors garbage = )

When I was little the hissing noise the toilet made when you flush it scared me. In all the movies I watched the ghosts made hissing noises when they came up behind you, so me, being so little, thought that a ghost came out of the toilet when you flushed and ran as fast as I could from the bathroom after I flushed, turning off the light so the ghost couldn't see.

There was a rumor that a girl was killed in the bathroom near the gym in our elemantary school. so if you went in there, you would be haunted and had a chance of being killed by her...i dont know why i believed it, but i always held it until after school.

When I was little I had heard about people having worms in their intestinal tracts, and I would get scared when I pooped that one would come out and bite me on the butt. Or that it would come out and try to go back in.

I used to think there was a law that you couldn't go into public bathroom by yourself if you were younger than a certain age. I don't know what age I thought was the "legal bathroom age", but when I was about 8 or 9 I was in the grocery store with my mom and had to go to the bathroom. She let me go by myself, but as i was about to go into the men's room, a guy who worked at the store stopped me and said "You can't go in there!" ..I got confused and thought it was because I wasn't old enough... Turns out he just thought i was a girl.

I don't know if it is a belief but I remember when I first learned to use the "potty" that I imagined that the waste would be cartoon characters. Like a pooh in a top hat type of thing, and that these cartoon droppings were all collected in some place where they could go have a party.

when I was little I used to believe the toilet was my dad's pet and if you didn't feed him, he would die.

my mom told me my grandma had a pot belly. I thought it was from her laying on the toilet and flushing it, and the suction pulled her stomach out and it got stuck that way.

I had two bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. One of the bathroom upstairs is directly above the one downstairs. Than I had the most brilliant idea ever!!! I ran upstairs into the bathroom and flushed the toilet. In, let's say, "mid-flush", I screamed nonsense words into the toilet. Than I sprinted down stairs and down the hall into the downstairs bathroom. I sat there, leaning over the toilet with the lid wide open, staring into the water. Waiting. For my voice.

I used to believe that aeroplanes had an entire toilet block on them (with normal toilets, not vacuum toilets)!
