Poor design in plumbing fixtures.

Hello everybody,

I’m trying to get back into the swing of things around here and decided to start with a small post about an everyday item that has been driving me nuts.

Have a look at the picture below. See a picture of a kitchen sink with the water going? This is the sink in my office’s break room. Notice how TINY that neck is? It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to use this sink without having to mop up the resulting mess behind it on the backsplash. You can’t rinse a cup, fill a bottle and God help you if you want to wash a dish.

I have no clue why the building (one of the biggest and nicest in Atlanta, by the way) would install such an obviously poor choice for a faucet. If you look, it is not a question of lack of space height-wise as there is a good 2-3 feet above the sink. My only thoughts are either A- it was cheaper or B- the person just didn’t care about functionality.

OK, I’ve complained about a faucet for way too long now. It’s just the little things that makes life harder than it needs to be that really get under my skin.

Something more substantial next time, promise.

– Jay
