24 Unwritten British Rules That Everyone Seems To Oblige By

24.

“Announcing you are going to the toilet.”

“Telling it to any group you are socialising with at that moment, whether in public or in their own homes. No one looks surprised or distracts from other conversations; it is just an expected announcement when leaving the group to go to the toilet. I do wonder if the British had a series of mass events where people just disappeared from groups around a table, sort of, ‘Blink, where did they go?’ events. It has thus become a tradition to announce toilet visits, so as not to worry folk.”
