Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!

I've had this happen too. It may be that you don't see it because you don't have free will enabled. When sims autonomously go into the bathroom for any reason, whether it is to wash a plate or clean the bathtub, they either get used or thrown out.
Autonomous behavior is not permitted in the bathroom. That's precisely what causes pileups. Anyone trying to perform an autonomous behavior must be processed and then thrown out, or else the bathroom invariably becomes jammed. You may wish to go as far as forbidding autonomous entry into the bathroom via APO. Alternatively, I recommend not including dishwashing equipment in bathrooms, especially near dish production areas.

As well as picking up babies that are born in the bathroom. I've had to use moveobjects to move babies out of the bathroom who were born there because even when I've manually told them to pick up the baby or click on the crib for them to put them in, they get thrown out.
The baby issue is presently under investigation. Improved handling of babies should occur in an upcoming version.

It doesn't matter how far away the bathroom is, if someone is using or blocking the sink or dishwasher in the kitchen, then they will trek all the way to the bathroom, even if it's on another floor.

I play with autonomous behavior on, and I haven't seen this problem with the version of the bathroom contoller I have (posted on 1/14/06). I've seen sims go into the bathroom and wash dishes successfully on residential lots. I've also seen sims wander into the bathroom when they don't need to use it, and then be thrown out by the controller (they just run out of it :))

If you look at what the icon says when they run out of the bathroom, the one with the footprints, it says "Be thrown out." :)

Yes, I know. I was just being too verbose, as usual. :)
