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
This makes so much more sense. Still wouldn't want it, but I get it.
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.
I'm a programmer and this makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside 🫠
Still not centered.

Show us the plumbing under the sink!
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...
That defeats the purpose of a kosher sink.
This
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.
Kitchen sinks don't usually have an overflow
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.
I was thinking about an overflow like you see on bathroom sinks!
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
But it does... Both sinks are set into it slightly. It's not fantastic but it should still work, assuming the counter is mostly level.
I can just imagine the dad who ordered the wrong sink refusing to admit his mistake and just cutting the hole weird.
My money is on landlord special. They will cut any corner possible to save a buck.
This is probably it. Whatever was on clearance or fell off the truck is what they installed, logic be damned.
It does not matter if it was on sale or not. Somebody thought it is a good idea to produce this kind of sink, and they went ahead with it.
It's actually called a Slayer sink cause it's double basin.
Thank god for the red line, I wouldn't be able to understand this meme without it.
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!
You can buy a second one, thats a big plus!
Yeah, that could be mainly used for washing hands and rinsing.
If there was a third sink in-between I could see this working.
Or it was installed in a corner
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.
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. I liked it.
I have this one. It's not that bad actually, once you get used to it.
I worked with one. Soap scum stays on that middle metal thing because you're transferring plates from one to another, and it's always get pretty wet. It's weird but how it looks like in the photo is extra weird.
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'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?
I kind of like this actually, it's unique
It also saves you from the dreaded "wet line on the T-shirt" when you wash by hand.
There's no way I'm careful enough to avoid that.
I'd bet the amount of water on that center section is quite a bit. It's probably always wet tshirt time at that house.
Do you always turn the faucet to the max or what?
Stuff splashes when you wash dishes. And now you have to remember to turn the faucet off every time you need to use it in the other sink. The guy complaining about wet lines from the edge of the sink being wet is complaining about a very common thing, from splashing. I feel like I'm explaining how to tie shoes at this point...
There are a million solutions to this that don't involve angling the sinks tho.
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. The only thing that sucks it doesnt have a place to set dishes.
