A woman with an irrational fear of toilets goes POTTY on the loo and runs away when she flushes, terrified it will swallow her up. Ney Decino, 20, is PEE-trified of going to the toilet alone and makes family members go LOO-PY by making them flush the bog for her. She even wet herself avoiding a trip to the loo and works close to home so she can use the only toilet she feels safe on. The mum-of-one has been scared of using toilets since she was aged four when she saw a talking toilet in 1990s Hollywood film Look Who's Talking Too. In the film the character, The Toilet Man, screams he wants the child's pee while posing with big eyes, sharp fangs and creepy voice which has stuck in Ney's head ever since.
