Mortified, no, just very slightly annoyed, but no big deal. For the record, in
our house the place is called "toilet" or "shitter". When we moved from the US
to Belgium in 1995, I had to work long and hard to make my wife understand why
she would get funny looks when asking for a "bathroom" in restaurants.
The "shoot" was part of Point and Shoot, a standard term for a small camera
like the Panasonic LX3 I use when cycling.
