Seriously, I don't want to rub my hands against the sink every time I wash my hands. I've never seen a bathroom sink without a ridiculous amount of space between the front of the bowl and the faucet. Let's start using another 2 inches or so of that space, huh?
There's that or the depth of the sink isn't low enough so you rub your hands against the bottom of the sink bowl instead. It was just like that at my old house.
