Phrase: "Catch up with the watchrooms."

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me if "catch up" in the following situation works?

[Conchita]

Having to catch up with the washroom suggests the washroom is running and you have to run faster than it so as to draw level with or overtake it. :lol: (Thanks, Tom, for bringing a smile to my morning!)

My suggestion: ... in order to be the first to use the bathroom (very prosaic, I know, but it's the best I can come up with right now).

Hi Tom

The use of 'catch up' in your sentence brought a smile to my face too -- for exactly the same reason. :lol:

I'm curious: What definition of 'catch up' do you have that led you to believe you could use 'catch up' in your sentence?
