Maybe "toilets" was meant more in the sense of "bathrooms"?

Or the comment was written by a dog

Or Duke Nukem.

The toilet can mean the bathroom, at least where I'm from.

The toilet is in the bathroom where I live. Only the local rustics say warshroom.

Please just say toilet sinks.

It seems to me it might have been a cost cutting thing to simplify the plumbing, by having only one button to supply a preset lukewarm water for hand washing.

The airports I've been at typically have had water fountains. But it's been a minute now, and they were not in the US.

Toilets are what Brits call the room that America's call a bathroom. I guess at least that has the virtue of the room actually having toilets in it and not baths.

I'm a Brit (as my handle suggests) and technically I agree with your comment but if I read you can't drink "the water in the toilets" it sounds pretty literal even to me.

washroom is American but bathroom is Canadian

I've always heard and used bathroom as an American. Restroom is also used for public facilities that don't actually have bathtubs.

It might break down like pop/soda. Are you from a pop or soda state?

Yeah, it probably depends on the region.

My state is split down the middle and I'm in the soda half.

'bathroom' is extremely common in the USA.

Another lifelong American checking in with "bathroom". I've lived up and down the East coast, and "bathroom" would have been normal to hear anywhere, alongside "restroom". "Washroom" would be a very distant 3rd option.

yes, of course
