    I am vacationing in Florida and a few days ago this guy swam up the drain and into the bowl.

    There’s no reason why a snake could not do that.

    If you are worried about late marriage you can easily avoid it by going straight to cats and a manfree lifestyle.

      Doing it at like 8pm. By the time it’s over and you’re done with the reception it’s too late to hop a plane and go on a honeymoon.

      Why wouldn’t someone want to get married late? Like, they’re too old to have kids? If they wanted to kids wouldn’t they get married sooner? Or adopt any time? I think person is just talking about themselves.

    Kid on my street got bit on the ass while peeing in the woods and died. Valid fear.

    Guy, had a similar fear all growing up too, except that I was afraid it’d bite my butthole (no idea why there, but whatever), not sure how I ever got over it.

    Spiders swarming out of the toilet and killing me has been in the back of my mind ever since I saw Arachnophobia as a kid.

      I saw a horror movie as a kid where a guy was killed by something (snake, maybe) when sitting on the toilet. It made me very anxious when using a toilet for a long time. I think the movie was dreamcatcher based on the Stephen king book but I was only 6-7 when I saw that part so I could be completely wrong.

        You’re remembering correctly. That’s how the first character dies in Dreamcatcher. Stephen King was recovering from a car accident and was on oxy when he wrote the book if that helps explain anything.

          “Car accident” is putting it mildly. He was walking down the road and a van slammed into him at full speed. He apparently went completely over the van and into a ditch. It’s amazing he’s still alive.

          Thanks. With being so young when I saw the scene I wasn’t sure if I just imagined parts of it.

    I blame Ghoulies especially because of the cover.

    Honestly thought it was a Gremlins movie cover until now, but man if seeing that in the video store aisle didn’t make me slam the lid on the toilet and run out and slam the bathroom door as fast as I could for several years…

      This movie scene had me double checking the toilet before sitting down for at least a decade.

    The rat in the toilet in Raymond Briggs’ When the Wind Blows freaked me out for years afterward and I still occasionally get a little freaked out about it.

    Bathrooms make me anxious enough in general as it is.

    Easy, just don’t be holding the bad-luck teddy bear while your friends are scamming a magic bank out of some magic batteries.
