OK, I'll kick off. When I was about 5 I was absolutely convinced that if I rubbed some plastic on the hot water tap I would be able to fly. Seriously.

Another one about the same age, I thought that if I could get hold of a watch and turn the dials back that time would go back.
 
swallowing chewing gum and having it stick to my heart, killing me.

and death from internal bleeding?
 
I was told that my mom does not age. She remained 25 every birthday. I believed this far longer then I should of.
 
When I was 6 or 7, I thought that if you dug beneath the surface of the Earth just a few feet, you would hit a very hot, thin layer of sheet metal, and beyond that were the burning fires of Hell.

Don't ask. 🙄

That has brought back my own fear of the malleable material, I used to think that it would, if swallowed, end up in my hand and I could visualise my hand disected with the chewy in little compartments.
 
When I was 3, I seriously thought that there were people in the TV, and VHS tapes told them to do stuff. I'd spontanously rewind the tape, just to screw with em'. 😀
 
when i was around 6-7 my older cousin told me that the reason girls used pads was because in case they laughed too hard and peed their pants it would not show, and i belived her until i was around 10 or so...

So, what happens if guys laugh to hard? There's nothing to protect them from embarrassment. 😡

Oh I forgot another one:
I once believed Macs sucked. 😱
 
I used to think that when you flushed a toilet on an airplane, the waste would fall to earth.
aahaa yeahh me too i was always so worried that my piss would fall on someone s head... and then i would always look up when an airplane would fly by, just to make sure nothing was coming my way....
 
I meet a girl who loved to F_ _ _
she did everything with utter disregard for self respect

never knew such people existed
