... where you sit down to use the rest room but check under the seat to make sure there are no spiders or other creepy insects lurking there...
... perhaps you may even suspect a rat could come up from behind you (through the pipes) and surprise you?
Every time... I think about that. How can I get over it?

No. I have a lot of problems but so far not this one. Now I will probably never use a public restroom again. LOL!
I think first you should confront your fears and realize that this is a very unlikey possibility.
It will take time,but has it happened to you yet? No? Then it's just a fear. You'll need to remind yourself of this each time you use the restroom- and after a month if it isn't better or if it is worse, you should see a therapist. Talk to your primary Dr first and they can put you in the right direction.

No! LOL. There's something wrong with you if the most you are afraid of in a public restroom is a spider. Check out a microbiology book and think about all the nasty stuff that is just floating around in the air, let alone on any of the surfaces....then get back to me.

Don't use nasty public restrooms, the ones that are in restaurants and higher end places, have to keep upkeep, stop worrying so much, no you can still check just stop obsessing over it, and NEVER sit all the way on a seat, mommy should have taught you that way back when

I'll join you in therapy girl cause that freaks me out too, I do the same damn thing. Not the rats though, just the spiders, since we live in an old house I can't seem to get rid of them.

I'm not going to make fun - cause once I went to the restroom and after I was finished - I saw the BIGGEST CRICKET in my life - jast hanging around the bowl - alive--- what if it jumped onto my noni??? So of course I always check...

Go to a theapist. It sounds like you suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder.

Check twice as much. You never know, a spider might crawl up into your butt and make a house there. And before you know it, there is baby spiders comin out of your butt. Now that is a freaky thought.

I used to do that, now I dont even remember about checking, Sometimes I do check but it is probably rare that I check now
