Many people on social media are shocked by this realization, with comments like, \u201cWhat do you mean WC stands for water closet?\u201d and \u201cI was today years old when I learned that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People have various names for these spaces\u2014bathroom, restroom, loo, or bog\u2014depending on their function and location. For instance, one person mentioned, \u201cI call mine a bathroom, but public ones are restrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The topic of public toilets sparked another viral post, where comedian Freddy Quinne shared the unspoken \u201curinal rule\u201d that every guy supposedly knows. If there are five empty urinals, a man should use either the first (far left) or the last (far right). If both are taken, the middle one is next. This rule ensures space between users, as it\u2019s generally uncomfortable to stand directly next to someone if there\u2019s room to spread out. Urinals two and four are only used when the others are occupied. Freddy says, \u201cNo one\u2019s ever discussed this with us, but we all just know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the names we use and the unwritten rules we follow reveal just how particular bathroom etiquette can be\u2014often more nuanced than we might expect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It turns out the \u201cWC\u201d on bathroom doors actually stands for \u201cwater closet.\u201d This term originated back when the bathroom was for bathing, the restroom was a&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6648"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6649,"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6648\/revisions\/6649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinenews92.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
