A small and insignificant point, but it catches me every time.

I just can't reconcile the use of bath for bathroom when I'm reading fic. I know I should just get past it, but without fail I have a mental wtf? moment. A bath is a bath to me and is situated in a bathroom and I just can't get over itOn with your usual Sunday, my friends. Apologies

Don't see why you should.

Odd little people.

[lifeasanamazon]

Of course, I'm not going to get over it. It drives me fucking batty.

Oooh, I'm Mrs Angry today.

(read this yesterday, btw, and thought it was quite interesting. Have you read it? http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3434345/1/)

Me too actually.

Not a lot good to read these days, that doesn't make me want to shoot people for being a disgrace to their sex.

Oooh, that's not bad though. I'll pass that on to Slogic

People do that? Doesn't make much sense to me. They're two separate things.

[lifeasanamazon]

That's because you're an Aussie, and Aussies are almost English.

;)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

[krazykitkat]

Hehehe! Yep, close enough :)

I also tend to get annoyed when, on tv at least, people say they're going to the bathroom instead of to the loo/toilet.

I think I'm more bewildered than you. Why on earth would you say it when it wasnt a bath????? *Headhurts*

(And no!! I rememebered! Except....well,okay, I admit, I was actually using the computer, glanced at the clock on it,12:50, glanced again and it was 2:05 and got really confused. Again.)

It's when I read something like, "she hung her robe in the bath" that it freaks me out completely.

(I'm still not coping. Must be a sign of age. Tell me about Hull!)

[krazykitkat]

"And it got wet."

[lifeasanamazon]

And where the hell was the hook?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeen

The middle three are all situated in the bathroom. Or maybe in a separate toilet (seeing as that is what they are referring to). The bath is the *shudder* tub in the bathroom.

I freely admit it's a minefield, it's just it's an expression we never use and it breaks my flow. So to speak. ;)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

Crapper, WC, lavvy, toilet. lavatory, powder room, gents or ladies.

Wait, people actually confuse the two!?!??! WEIRD.

[lifeasanamazon]

Amazing, I know. *is bewildered*

I laugh even harder at the idea of being asked if I mind sharing the 'bath'.
