    It usually does have a sink so you could and should wash up in it. It is more polite to others to refer to it as a bathroom instead of a toilet.

    Note: Restroom doesn't quite fit either because I seldom "rest" in there.

    • In my grandmother's old house, the toilet was by itself with no accompanying sink in the room. To get from the toilet to the bathroom we had to walk through the kitchen and the living room as well. And that was in a house built in 1930!

      PS you think I should wash the dishes in the bathroom sink, do you?
