I once watched a tv show where a person won toilet water. everybody thought it was so nice and valuable, and i couldn't understand why you need to buy water to pour in the toilet, as there already is water in there! i figured out that it was some nice coloured water, but it still seemed strange to me.. later on i read on a bottle of perfume and i figured out the real meaning:D

When I was a small child, there was a hole cut out of the wall beside the toilet and a board was placed there so you couldnt see the pipes. I used to think hunderd and hundred of lady bugs lived in there and if I moved the board they would fly up and out and scare me. I was extremely sure of this, even though there was no reason to think it.

When I was little I used to believe that when you flushed, a monster would eat what you "disposed" of. That leads to why The toilet makes noises. I thought the monster was saying," Thanks for the food!!!"

When I was wee, my grandmother had me believe the Tidy Bowl Man (from the television commercials) lived in the toilet tank. (Not the bowl, this man was GOOD!) I never saw him, no matter how many times I looked in the tank.

I used to think if you sat on the same toilet as a boy you got pregnant. Therefore I would squat above the toilet anytime my male friends came over.

true story - I was helping my 3 year old just-potty-trained son go pee and when done he wanted me to turn on the sink faucet before flushing the toilet so he could "see the water from the toilet come out the sink"

When I was young, my mother explained to me that the water that you flushed down the toilet would end up in the ocean or a river. So, I started to think that when you flushed the toilet, the pee and poo floated down the pipes and out into a large body of water. (This is especially sad when you know that my father works in waste water treatment!)

I used to believe that some sort of king lived in the toilets, both the flushing ones and the latrines. I thought that if I wasn't fast enough, he would grab my butt and force me to marry him with my pants around my knees, something that would be very embarassing. Although I knew that there's no-one in the toilet I was still afraid of falling into toilets, and had to be very fast when I used one, until I was about 17, maybe longer.

My psychologist usually tells me that I have an extremely vivid imagination, which normally is nice, like when I'm on a boat, I imagine a lot of gremlins partying pirate-style. The gremlins are happy and nice, cheering and climbing around on the boat. I'm 26 and never bored, although I don't always explain these things when people ask for the reason why I'm never bored...I still think I'm pretty normal.

I used to believe that when you bought a house, it came with a limited supply of water and after you used the toilet, it would go through "The water cleaner" and be clean again and you could drink it. I refused to go into the shower when the water was brown and we needed a filter.

I used to think that when you flushed the toliet and you stood too close I thought you would get sucked in.

When I was little I used to think my mum's bum would fall through the toilet seat, because her bum was bigger than mine

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

My primary school had normal sized loos for the infants and kids sized ones in the juniors. I thought that they had bigger loos in the infants as infants tend to chuck up more.
