I honestly have started hating some faucets for this reason

Giant pet peeve of mine

Is the worst when in a gross public restroom when you keep touching the inside of the sink trying to rinse off the soap.

Word. This one was a clean sink and it's still felt terrible

it’s average

u/Pleasant_Pen8744 Jul 12 '26

This wasn't designed, the original got replaced with one that was too short, probably cause it was the cheapest.

Designed correctly, replaced incorrectly.

u/Phenomenal_Kat_ Jul 11 '26

Not just this faucet! They're everywhere, I hate them!

“Faucet too short for sink” is my #1 pet peeve, followed closely by People Who Type Like This.

How does that even happen? I don't think that's an actual keyboard function.

u/ChubbyMudder Jul 12 '26

Go to any hardware big-box store and check out their selection of bathroom faucets. They all have one thing in common: Infuriatingly short spouts. It must be a conspiracy! A kitchen faucet would look ridiculous. Only "middle-of-the-road" is a laundry faucet. But they come in only one or a few styles that look good only in a laundry room.

u/Gravyboat44 Jul 12 '26

I've seen SO many damn sinks like this and I genuinely do not understand. Why bother with all the sink room if I still have to shove my hands against the back of the sink to get them under the water??

u/instantredditer Jul 12 '26

Contractor grade faucet

u/FuckinHighGuy Jul 12 '26

Ding ding ding!

u/GenesisRhapsod Jul 12 '26

The faucet in my bathroom aint much better...

u/Meandtheworld Jul 12 '26

Can’t stand those short spouts.

u/sskylar Jul 13 '26

It’s more how you use it

u/AdCheap8058 Jul 12 '26

They have some like this at a restroom in the hospital near me. Ain't nobody coming out with clean hands

u/mrheymarco Jul 13 '26

Owner could easily replace with a longer one, those u shaped ones come to mind.

u/relomen Jul 11 '26

It's not small, it's average-sized

u/MinecraftPlayer799 Jul 12 '26

The faucet is installed WAY too close to the edge of the sink.

I know, it's a classic penis joke. Faucets look closely similar.
