I can just imagine the dad who ordered the wrong sink refusing to admit his mistake and just cutting the hole weird.
This split sink

This is probably it. Whatever was on clearance or fell off the truck is what they installed, logic be damned.
Wrench@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My guess is the handyman special. Bought the wrong hardware for another client months ago, and finally found a sucker that bought the “hey, I have a brand new sink that never got installed from another job collecting dust. I’ll hook you up”
Nusm@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Cut any corners! That’s funny because it’s on a corner, and it was cut! I get it!

Ironically the cut the corner that the sink was supposed to go to
Bonehead@kbin.social 11 months ago
The fact that this sink doesn't have a channel for overflow from one sink to the other and has no other obvious overflow control is really bothering me...
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Kitchen sinks don’t usually have an overflow
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
They usually overflow into the other side of the sink. There is a raised rim along the outside, and the area between the two is very slightly lower. This means that the water will overflow into the other side.
Of course if both are full, all bets are off.
Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Sinks that are directly next to each other are usually separated by a divider that’s lower than the counter. I assume that’s what he’s talking about
PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
That defeats the purpose of a kosher sink.
clutchmatic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This
Dicska@lemmy.world 11 months ago
While it would still be an abomination to me, it’s not impossible that the overflow holes are on the near walls which are not visible from this angle.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But it does… Both sinks are set into it slightly. It’s not fantastic but it should still work.
basketugly@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s actually called a Slayer sink cause it’s double basin.
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
If you took the corner sink (installed not in a corner like that) but with a 3rd triangular sink in between the others… it would be terrible in entirely new ways!
Rubanski@lemm.ee 11 months ago
You can buy a second one, thats a big plus!
Rognaut@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, that could be mainly used for washing hands and rinsing.
GrimSheeper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Cock-and-ball sink

Yeah some shitbird was probably abusing a contractor and said “I don’t care just get it done” at some point.
Jackthelad@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That looks like a right faff to use.
masquenox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If there was a third sink in-between I could see this working.
andthenthreemore@startrek.website 11 months ago
Or it was installed in a corner
guyrocket@kbin.social 11 months ago
I've only seen these and never used one. So I do not understand what is mildly infuriating about them. Is it just that water will spill if the faucet is in the middle?
pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 11 months ago
It’d be better to have the three-sink setup they have in commercial kitchens which are stacked next to each other so you can move a dish to the next without dripping water all over the counter.
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I have this one. It’s not that bad actually, once you get used to it.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I worked with one. Soap scum stays on that middle metal thing, and it’s always wet no matter what. It’s such a weird design.
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
Yeah. It’s slightly messy, but it’s ergonomic enough. I’m not sure why you’d choose to install it not in a corner, though; I guess they liked the way it looks but never actually do the dishes themselves?

I’m imagining a contractor telling the previous owner that they got the wrong sink, and the previous homeowner screaming at them to “just do your job and fix it” lol
n0m4n@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I put one of these in a Victorian which had a kitchen being brought up to code. Doors and windows cut up the kitchen wall space, leaving this as an elegant solution to have an efficient kitchen. I did have to reinforce the seams behind and at the chevron cut at the sink edge. I liked working at the sink. Dishes were easy to reach, and water did not splash when handwashing dishes, but making more room for modern appliances was nicer. If the kitchen was not destroyed in a flood, I would still have it.
Shocker_Khan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have one of these sinks in my house. At least it’s in a corner, but it’s still terrible.
Willer@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah lemme guess they gonna replace it with a shitty designer faucet which is way to shallow to do anything productive with. No thanks ill take this one over a lot of other ones.
Shieldtoad@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
They are meant to be installed in a corner.

dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I get it, but speaking as someone who used to design kitchen layouts for a living: Don’t put your sink in the corner. Just don’t.
Also, this has one major “feature” above and beyond the usual diagonal sink in a corner cabinet, in that you can swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor. Genius!
teft@startrek.website 11 months ago
Or directly into a bucket.
samus12345@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There are two thing you never put in a corner: sinks and Baby.
polle@feddit.de 11 months ago
If you have a faucet can swivel, you could probably always put it somewhere to spill directly on the countertop. Still ugly design, though.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Doesn’t the faucet travel over the corners so it wouldn’t spill on the floor (much anyways) without pulling the faucet out?
AA5B@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My ex has the regular sink diagonally in the corner- and she’s too short. It has to be farther back from the edge of the counter to miss the corner. However she’s 5’2” (and overweight) so it’s harder to reach, enough to be an annoyance every time she washes dishes.
Just don’t put your sink in the corner. There is no good solution
scarabic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah this seems like something you would do if the space didn’t permit anything else. Which is the case sometimes. But it’s not something to elect when you have other options.
Wootz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ok, I’m super curious. By “In the corner” do you mean putting a sink on the actual corner unit? Or by the tablespace immediately next to it?
In the case of the first one I totally get it. The corner unit is a cursed part of the kitchen anyway. If you mean immediately next to it, why not? Not disagreeing, just curious what a professional says.
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
That does tend to happen. Even without swiveling the faucet, moving dishes between basins causes a bit of a puddle to develop. Thankfully I have a tiled floor so it doesn’t matter too much.
xkforce@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Kase@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Perfect for when you need to mop the kitchen floor-- no bucket required /j
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 11 months ago
This makes so much more sense. Still wouldn’t want it, but I get it.
hierophant_nihilant@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Yep, and they are actually awesome! I personally hate washing dishes when there’s a pile of them in front of you because of all the splashing. This layout makes cleaning so much easier. Additionally, you can put up some stuff for defrosting in the second sink
Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Finally, was wondering where exactly these things would have been used 😮
echodot@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Could you just not put it there? I never known any sink in existence that is plumbed into the corner of the room, so presumably the piping has been redirected so that you need a corner sink, it’s literally the very definition of a solution looking for a problem and indeed a problem has to be created so the solution is required.

Yes, but that particular sink happens to be named “Baby”.
