Satan didn't lurk on my toilet, but I remember reading as a child that if you looked in a mirror at midnight, you would see the devil looking over your left shoulder (Or your mirror image's right shoulder, before any smarty-pants asks). As a result, going to the toilet during the night was particularly traumatic for many years as I would deliberately avoid glancing at not only the mirrors (which was tricky enough - in the bathroom was a mirror over the sink and a full length mirrored door to the linen cabinet, which faced the bathroom door), but any reflective surface whatsoever (such as the bathroom window (which was right next to the toilet, and, for complex reasons of backward architecture, not frosted), lest The Beast should get me.
