This atrocity I found at a bar…

    Apart from the higher surface area to clean, its not the worst design. Definitely odd.

    However, imagine someone trying to figure it out while drunk.

    There’s a lever. It should be easy to tell. But who knows what they would do if drunk. Maybe they start stroking the tap. shrugs

    I came across one of these in my camera roll, I was drunk and thought, “I’m about to remodel my bathroom and this is cool.” It looks like it was hard to clean

    I think it’s better than a normal faucet. Nothing to bump your head into.

    I have friends who have this in their bathroom. It's not a lilly-pad faucet, but it's one of those farm-well-pump faucets you see from time to time. It's not terrible, I just wish the flow was stronger... 😅

    I stayed at an air bnb with vessel sinks like this. They are so much higher up than a regular sink that water actually sprays the mirror, counter, and sink every time you turn it on. You don't really notice it until the water dries on the mirror and you go who the hell power washed this bathroom? It's every day. You have to wipe everything and you have to hold your arms up high otherwise your forearms touch the edge of the bowl. They are a nightmare.

    All you need is a faucet with an aeriation plug.

    Not really applicable to what I was talking about. I guess the "flow" is ok, I just wish there was more pressure against my hands by the time it hits them, to knock all the soap off. 🤷 Doesn't really work with the style and direction of water flow.

    Here is an example. The flow just isn't that great.

    Apalling. So much money on a sink and a plastic soap hand pump‽

    I need to talk to the manager.

    Eh, that one seems the most reasonable to me. You replace your soap way more often than you replace your sink, and all a fancier pump does is force you to dump soap into it every time.

    Granted, you could also save money by buying soap in bulk instead of by the pump, but then you have to clean your soap bottle, and they clearly put all their money into cleaning the sink instead.

    What I don’t get is the decision to spend 500%+ on the cost for the sink but not the soap. Surely, there’s equally comical soap to be had.

    The bulk soap mix is 90% water and 10% soap, assuming it gets refilled regularly.

    I agree. The AUDACITY of them to have that sink and not have a glass/ceramic/fancy material version of the snail soap/lotion pump is legit appalling.

    The pump soap is “Meyer’s Clean Days”. If it were “Dirty Days”, would the soap be larger, a different color, or both?

    I'm willing to bet that this was well thought out by somebody who wanted to fuck with every drunk person in that bar at some point.

    I will say though, it does look pretty cool I like the design.

    It’s a sobriety test.  If you can’t figure out how to work the sink, you get cut off.

    This is actually pretty awesome. Not a fan of the weird toggle for the on/off. Doesn't seem able to shift from hot to cold very well. Would make a few adjustments but I find that pretty damn neat!

    Is the sink at knee length? or are you just very tall?

    They have one in a sushi restaurant in McCall, ID. Is super annoying to use.

    I like the idea. I don't think I'd get it in that color, and I definitely wouldn't install it with a wooden countertop.

    I remember using one of those, but I don’t remember where. I thought it was a one-off.
