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?
I'm around Pittsburgh, so everything's a bit backwards anyway. I've seen this issue elsewhere though.
I do have massive hands, for what it's worth. That makes the problem worse.
