Difference between Bathroom and Restroom?

Question

I barely thought of it today when I was at the Mall In Downtown San Francisco when I was going to the Bathroom/Restroom.

Answer 1

you can get company in restroom but not in bathroom

Answer 2

bathroom is toilet with a shower. it means you can bathe there!!

restroom is a toilet but there are added lounge seats or a resting area for you to sit down.

toilet is where you p**p and flush out all your unwanted toxins from your body!

Answer 3

Both words used for the lavatory by people in the USA who are too prissy to say lavatory.

I was amazed on a flight over the Pacific, when the Pilot asked us to return to our seats and fasten our seat-belts, because we were flying into turbulence. A large USA citizen immediately stood up. The stewardess asked him to sit down and he said, 'But I have to go to the bathroom.' I have never been on a plane on which you could call the lavatory a bathroom. 'Bathroom' in British English means a room with a bath in it. It may or may not have a WC.

Surely a 'rest room' is for resting. West Africans, when asking for the Lavatory often say, 'Where can I ease myself?' which seems a useful expression.

Answer 5

I think when it's public, it's a restroom. mostly b/c there's no BATH. And a bathroom is not really public. besides, there's a BATH.

Answer 6

I always make sure I say "I need to use the restroom" when we're out in a public place i.e restaurant. I say "I need to use the bathroom" when I'm at home since we have a BATH in our bathroom.

Bathing however, can be washing your hands or putting lotion on ... you can do these things in a "restroom" so there isn't technically a 100% sure answer on when to use which but generally Bathroom is used for homes and Restroom is used for public places.
