You know those old homes that make you feel like the floor is going to swallow your keys if you drop them? And you’re walking in a dark hallway, there’s a weird draft from who knows where, and then—boom—tiny sink just appears? Not in a bathroom or anywhere near where you’d expect it, just neatly hanging out in your hallway. I remember the first time I saw one, I thought it was soooo weird.
Honestly, who puts a sink there? It almost felt like that sink somehow got put in time-out because the bathroom was too full. I just happened to see a ridiculous photo on Reddit of one of these sinks just chilling out in a hallway as ridiculous as could be! The guesses from people in the comments were priceless! One person thought it was a foot washer, another thought it was some fancy spittoon, some thought it was a plumbing fail and nobody bothered to fix it!
Nope, not a fail. The awkward little hallway sink actually served a purpose. A real purpose. I had to dig around a bit to figure it out, but it’s actually pretty cool once you understand it.
