The spider thread just reminded me of this.
When I about 6 years old or so, I saw this show on TV where a snake went through the plumbing of the some house in Australia and ended up in the toilet, back through the plumbing somewhere else, then back in to the toilet. Not one of those pussy garter snakes either, like an eat your ass for breakfast snake. FUCK. THAT. SHIT. I checked for fucking snakes every time before I sat down to go to the bathroom, then I'd be on alert constantly checking every minute or so to make sure there was no surprise snake while I was in the middle of my business. That must have traumatized me for at least 5 years. We don't even have any crazy snakes here but that's not a risk I'm going to take.
I had (still have) a problem like this.
Except it was an episode of X-files where an alien's head pops out of the toilet of a porta-potty. NowI horribly dislike using any toilet where I cannot see the bottom (porta-potties and outhouses). I pee at max distance and arc it in, and I always hover as much as possible.
