I struggle to apply many things I learn to real life. I can take in many facts and enjoy doing so. However, applying those facts to solve a real-life problem is like trying to put together a puzzle with the pieces turned upside down. It seems like people who don't know as much about a topic as I do are still much better at applying what they've learned.

I'll bagerk that. It's my favourite thing that grows on trees.

Conversely, Brussels sprouts are poisonous!

What do Aussies call the bathroom?

What would happen if one walks into a restaurant and asks for the "restroom?"

In Australia, a bathroom can be any of the following:

* a room with a bath, shower toilet and hand basin;
* a room with a shower and a toilet and a hand basin
* a room with a bath, toilet and hand basin (and usually a shower head over the bath that doubles as a shower)

If we're out in public and need to relieve ourselves whilst out in public, you'd ask someone if they knew where the local public toilet is (or just the nearest toilet). If you were in a store or a restaurant, you'd usually ask where are the restrooms or bathroom? But you could also ask where's the toilet or loo. We're pretty relaxed here about that kind of stuff.

If you wanna go all Aussie occa on them, you could ask where's the dunny? And if you wanted to be crude (or you're talking with a mate), you could ask where's the sh!thouse?

I think that pretty much sums it up! :D

My bathroom only has a bath with a shower head over it and a hand basin. My loo's out the back with the redbacks and funnel webs 8O

Your bathroom is the same thing that we americans call a bathroom.

A "facility" in a public place (store, restaurant) we call a "rest room"- which apparently is what Aussies might call it.

But your "loo" is what we would call an "out house".

Yeah, it's not that different although I've been told, in America, it's uncouth to call it a toilet or to say I'm going to the toilet.

#Kraftie Funny you should ask about that. Only today, a co-worker and I were explaining all this stuff to a Chinese co-worker. WC's (water closets), the john, the loo, the dunny, the lavatory, etc. You get the picture.

The universal, worldwide name for the place where one "does one's business" is probably the "WC."

Yep, in America, people would look at you funny if you asked for the "toilet."

lol people must look at me funny all the time but I don't really care what people think in my old age.

I am like Donald Trump, I am an annoyance that won't go away, even when I said I'd go away.

People are mere chess pieces for what I need, sounds cold but people have treated me as such.

Relax, you aren't making it out alive anyway.
