You know when you have to get up to pee in the middle of the night but you don’t feel like turning the light on…
Does anyone else fear some sort of toilet monster is going to JUMP up & BITE their unsuspecting bum???
This is what happens when a.) you eat a combination of empanadas & cupcakes before bed & b.) you wake up every 3 hrs to pee in a delirious stupor. (verses delirious intelligence of course because it’s not like ‘delirious’ is the same thing as ‘stupor’ cause then I’m just reiterating myself in some sort of rambling nonsense. That would just be silly.)
Umm…come here. I want to tell you a secret. *When I was a little girl, I made myself terrified that lobsters were going to crawl up through the toilet and nip me in the bum.* Whew! We had this bathroom in the basement that was SERIOUSLY large – like 10 feet from the toilet to the sink. I hated using it because 1) hello, bum biting lobsters! and 2) the sink was so far from the toilet, I couldn't keep an eye on the toilet while I was washing up to make sure the lobsters didn't crawl across the floor to get me.
I grew up in Spokane, WA. Inland. No oceans. Definitely no lobsters. But…a daymare is a daymare!
nope not an insect – but teh clown from teh stephen king movie it.
Too funny! My parents had a black toilet in the downstairs basement… freaked me out for the longest time. (didn't even have to be night time!)
When I was little, my dad told me that if I went to the bathroom after bedtime that an alligator or snake was going to come up out of the toilet and bite my bum. I have NEVER been able to go to the bathroom in the dark, let alone BE in a bathroom in the dark. If I'm somewhere, like camping, where there isn't a light in the bathroom, I'll either wait to go or bring a flashlight! So I totally get you!
I always think about rats, snakes, or alligators. Any news story (i.e. actually happened!) about an animal making it through the sewers into someone's toilet causes me to add another to the list. I think about the possibility and fear for my bum the entire time… Whew! Glad to get that off my chest! 🙂
I'm always afraid that a bug of some sort is going to crawl up the toilet and crawl on my butt…. =/
I live in a cabin in the woods off grid… it's extreme and I've had the willies many a night when we first moved in. I better not think about it now….LED night lites help.
😉
i have that same silly fear.. I think I seen a movie with like creatures coming out of the toliet once when I was yonger.. and still think they will get me! haha
Oh man, I laughed so much reading all these coments… feels good to know its not just me!
DH always looks at me like a mad woman when I mention it…
I watched the movie "Critters" as a kid and there was a scene where one was hiding in the toilet. EEK! Still have to have a quick check before I sit down. I also had paranoia that some kind of monster would come out and get me if I wasn't out of the bathroom and down the stairs before the tank refilled after flushing! :-S
is that what the movie was called???? critters….i always remember seeing that commercial as a kid when there was some green monsters that came out of the toilet!
I have also had this (somewhat irrational) fear. Except I always thought it was a snake. It still creeps me out and I always do a quick check before sitting down 🙂
OMG, what is it with commercials, putting fears into kids minds… I had nightmares over a commercial where a little girl turns into a witch after reading a book!
This is the movie I was refering to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090887/
Freaked me out just looking at the pics 🙁
I'm such a wus!!
