    I don’t think that that’s very uncommon. When one “goes to the bathroom”, it’s understood that this is a euphemism for urinating or defecating, not just hanging out there.

      Agreed. It just seems like a weird editorial decision. Maybe it’s because I’m not a regular US reader, or I live in a different country, but it seems to slightly obfuscate what happened.
