People Are Only Just Realising What WC Toilet Sign Actually Stands For
What does “WC” stand for? Most of us usually refer to it as the “bathroom” or, if we’re feeling fancy, the “restroom.” But it turns out there’s a historical name that’s quite surprising: “water closet.”
What’s even more intriguing is the reasoning behind it. In the past, when someone said they were going to the bathroom, it often meant they were heading there to take a bath. If you needed to freshen up or prepare for the day, you might go to the restroom to use the sink and mirror. But if you simply needed to use the toilet, you would head to the water closet.
I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one baffled by this revelation—many others on social media are just as surprised!
Keeping on the topic of bathrooms, one TikToker went viral for sharing the unwritten urinal rule that ‘every guy knows’.
Posted by stand-up comedian, Freddy Quinne, he says men have an unwritten rule about having a wee in a public urinal.
Freddie says: “Nobody’s ever discussed this with us, nobody’s gone out and set the rules but we all know which place to have a p*ss is acceptable and which one isn’t.”
He explains that if you have five empty urinals in a row, the only reasonable decision is to use the first one on the left, or the last one on the right.
“So you’ve got five urinals in a row here and the rule is, if you go in and every single one is empty, then you take urinal number one [far left] or urinal number five [far right],” Freddie adds.
“Now, if number one or number five are both being used, then you use the one in the middle, urinal number three.
“The reason for that, is that way you leave a space in between the other two people having a p*ss because it’s weird if you just go up and p*ss next to someone, when you’ve got the option not to.
“The only time you would ever use urinals two and four, is when one, three and five are occupied.
“There’s no other reason for using them…ever.”
