When I was about 4, I flushed a bouncy ball down the toilet.
The next day, after a weeks worth of rainfall, a nearby town was flooded, and when I saw this on the news I blamed myself for this incident.
I wouldn't let go of the guilt the pained me for the next two years.

When i was a little boy , i used to believe when i was on the toilett a ostrich arrived and pinch me

I use to beleive that there were monsters living in the piping and trying to climb out of my toilet and by pooing and putting toilet paper in the bowel I was effectively build a barricade and stoping them from getting into my house. I have no idea where this came from.

After flushing the toilet I would have to run into the next room before it finished flushing.
I was a strange child.

I used to ride in airplanes a lot, and when I flushed the toilet it would suck everything in, and I thought it made everything that wasn't attached to the ground or the walls sucked in and fall out the airplane

I was frightend of the '9 o'clock hosses' till I knew what they were. They were the people who came round to empty the toilet bucket. At that time of the night.

My older sister always told me that if I didn't wash my hands with soap after I went to the bathroom, I would die of some pee-related disease. So naturally, I would soap up heavily. Then she tells me that if I didn't get all of the soap off, I would get cancer. Like I didn't have enough to worry about already!

When I was younger i believed that if you diddn't flush the toilet and close the lid then all the stuff in the toilet would then either go on your hands when you washed them or onto your toothbrush when you cleaned your teeth! My older sister had told me about it for a joke as i always used to forget to flush the toilet.

I used to think if you weren't quick enough getting off the airplane toilet seat, you would be flushed down the toilet and out into the air.

Admittedly my Dad had a part to play in that - telling me the toilet waste flies out into the air like it used to do (true) on train toilets - straight on to the track.

Eww huh?

When I was in first grade, my family took a vacation to Europe. We took a small 14-or-so passenger plane to get from one place to another, and my parents joked that it was child size. This got me thinking that in Europe they were more considerate to small kids. When we got to France, at the hotel there were two sinks. One was normal size, and the other one next to the toilet. I was so excited that they made kid-size sinks.
My parents later told me that it was a bidet, not used for washing hands.

I used to think that the reason you should not flush the toilet when someone was in the shower was because what you flushed would come out of the shower head!

I used to believe that when you flushed to toiley you were letting it drink the water in the toilet, but pee was better tasting. I thought when the toiley got thirsty it would send messages to your mind telling you to come pee.

I used to belive there was a 'toilet man' and fed him by flushing food down the toilet.

When I was about 6 and my sister was 5, we were at the store with my mom. The women's restroom was out of order, so we were told by an employee to use the men's restroom (it was one of those single-person bathrooms). well, i saw a urinal and my sister and i asked my mom what it was and she said it's a man toilet.....we were trying to figure out how boys/men could get up that high to sit down! lol

Little kid

i used to sing on the toilet and i also believed that when i leaned forward really far and shut the lid on my back i turned into a bee.

and people think i'm weird nowadays
