        I’m not shaming! Maybe it’s something important? Maybe I need a tiny little extra sink next to my sink? What have I been missing out on???

          The small one is to use as a sink when the big one is full of week old dirty dishes.

          You definitely need a tiny little extra sink next to your sink.

          I don’t know how I lived without one to be honest.

        Note the bottle of Fairy, the UK equivalent of Dawn. It’s not a waste disposal, it’s a fucking useless sponge holder, in my experience

            Waste disposal is a weirdly American thing. That’s why when you go on holiday and chuck your food down the drain like a special-needs kid discovering toilet roll for the first time, you have to phone people like me to fix it for you

              Where I live in the UK, food is placed in a compostable bag which are taken away weekly. They turn it into energy. Way better than blending it and putting down the drain.

              weird, it’s common where I live (Poland, Europe)

              edit: common may be an exaggeration, I could probably list like 5 or 6 homes of my family members and close friends which do have it

              edit2: oh we also have Fairy so this may as well be in Poland lol

              edit3: the label in the photo is in English so it’s unlikely

        They’re not common in the UK.

        The little sink is just that really. I use it for pouring liquids down the drain when washing dishes and the main sink is full of water.

        Is that common in newer homes? Is it a regional thing? I’ve only ever seen garbage disposals installed in the regular sink drain, I’ve never seen one that had it’s own dedicated little sink like that!

          American here: never seen it another way. Always two sinks in one, and the one of them has a garbage disposal on it.
