Maybe something USED it by mistake. Still, I really don't think I would sit on those at a restaurant.

I totally would, but of course that's just me...anything toilet-related is guaranteed to make my inner (twenty-)seven year-old light up with gleeful immaturity. I'm bummed that I never managed to actually go; a friend of mine did and he said the food was pretty mediocre. Better out than in, in this case.

Se's food was smelling like public toilets that have a permanent urine-feces-fart-like smell.
now that bathroom cleaning is a responsibility of mine, i have to make sure that no bathroom under my command can ever be described in that way.

For years and years I assumed that by 'Restroom' Americans were referring to a place with large, comfortable armchairs, where tea and coffee etc were available, and where one went to relax. I was astonished to discover recently that it was a TOILET!!
Then last night I was watching an old episode of the UK sitcom Are You Being Served?, and the ridiculous term Powder Room was used three times.....

Close enough for me.
Probably from 'repose" or refreshing oneself?
in the 18th century, a toilet call was a social interaction/event in which a lady received visitors while she was in the last stages of performing her.....toilet.

Nope, it was just a once-off little shake. If anything, people here were confused as to what it was; some people didn't even feel it at all. If this were in New Zealand I'd have been a little more worried, but earthquakes of any kind are really rare here. According to the news, the last one of this size – small as it was – in Queensland occurred back in 1901.
I haven't even checked Facebook yet, but apparently people are taking to social media to commemorate the event:

Restroom, bathroom, men's room/ladies' room, facilities, potty...pretty much nobody in America would refer to the bathroom as the "toilet", which is usually reserved only for the toilet toilet (you know, the thing you poop in!). Lavatory, loo, washroom...those are rarely heard in the US and I've never heard anyone use "water closet" ever.
"Powder room" is super-outdated, but I've actually heard elderly folk refer to it as such before. I believe it's exclusively referring to the ladies' room, back when "I've got to powder my nose" was an actual polite euphemism for "I've got to go to the bathroom". God forbid men discover that women actually pee.
I've also heard "comfort station" as a term for restroom, which I think is delightful.
