This is 100% a builder trying to build a house as quickly and cheaply as possible finding out that the local big box stores are out of stock on the regular sinks. He’s not gonna let that mess up his schedule as the plumber needs to move on to the next house, so weird corner sink it is.

I'll bet the plumber arrived later and was annoyed on principle.

If it's any consolation, Batman isn't the headline in the movie he's in.

He’s not gonna let that mess up his schedule as the plumber needs to move on to the next house, so weird corner sink it is. I mean, probably not. The "builder" doing the house is rarely the contractor doing the cabinetry. And the cabinetry sub-contractor cuts all this stuff well ahead of time at their workshop. That sink was 100% planned ahead of time by the homeowners.

Nothing like a sink guaranteed to spray water all over the counter, unless you are meticulous at turning it off and on when swapping between the tiny sinks.

Although my parents have a tilt down panel instead of the drawer where they can keep their spare dish sponges. I've seen some bathroom sinks at IKEA that have kind of a half-depth drawer that nestles up against the front of the sink, but it's the exception and not the rule. Like I've traveled to plenty of countries and never seen that, it's always just been something like this:  Large draw space with the plumbing at the back. While looking for that image I did come across quite a few of the fake draws that people are talking about, but they do all seem to be from US sites. Also found a reddit thread where people from Britain were also talking about them. As far as I can tell though thankfully this stupidity seems to be contained to those two countries.

dr_rat posted:Ones that aren't lazy rear end deadbeats do. What makes them dumb? It doesn't seem to eat into storage space under the sink, and it can give a more consistent appearance when put next to the other drawers and cabinets in your kitchen.

Like, if you want to poo poo on the US, there's lots of options available. You don't need to reach this hard. Fake draws like fake pockets in my opinion is just flat out trash design. There's plenty of room for aesthetics, and sometime it is nice to have form over function, but like there is just so many other options you could chose. Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p06Fb65gyBE Like it's not that hard to design poo poo so it isn't intentionally confusing but still aesthetically pleasing. like I'm honestly surprised there is anyone defending this garbage.

What makes them dumb is that you now have a 3/4 height cupboard door that doesn't match all your full height cupboard doors. Unless you are some kind of psychopath that has a single drawer above every cupboard

norp posted:What makes them dumb is that you now have a 3/4 height cupboard door that doesn't match all your full height cupboard doors. The reason that they mount panels (sometimes with knobs mounted so that they look like drawers) over the sink base cabinet is because here, in North America, it is standard to have drawers over the base cabinet. Also, you have a sink basin blocking the top 4-6 inches of the cabinet it's mounted into.

Killingyouguy! posted:I had to read that book in university and now I hate every stove top I don't look forward to replacing mine since pretty much every one for sale now is horrible beyond belief. Temperature controlled by 12+ button presses for something that could be done with one knob (and I have to reach across the hot burners to get to it), incomprehensible timer controls (again for something that needed one knob), burner dials in illogical positions and frequently without any numbers or even hashmarks (and some that are electronic buttons in the range top???). I haven't read the book, and now I'm afraid to because I already hate the designs of most things.

I legitimately can't recall ever being in a kitchen that didn't have drawers over almost every cupboard, with the only exception being corner cabinets with folding doors and lazy susans

Oh, you'll hate basically every thing designed in the last decade, and the designers who made them especially. The book has been incredibly influential, highly acclaimed, and studiously ignored.
