I get it, but speaking as someone who used to design kitchen layouts for a living: Don't put your sink in the corner. Just don't.
Also, this has one major "feature" above and beyond the usual diagonal sink in a corner cabinet, in that you can swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor. Genius!

Or directly into a bucket.
How often I'm filling buckets vs. how often I'd accidentally spill water on the floor.
Would be a bad idea for me
I’m pretty sure you’d get used to it after the first few times it happens. We accommodate to the limitations of many technologies on a nearly constant basis, often without consciously making those adjustments.

You underestimated my ability to not learn from mistakes.

Ah. I see you found the "accessories" appendix of the KraftMaid catalog.

There are two things you never put in a corner: sinks and Baby.
If you have a faucet can swivel, you could probably always put it somewhere to spill directly on the countertop. Still ugly design, though.
The floor thing is awesome. You can easily fill a big barrel without a hose.
Just get a faucet with a hose. Helps with cleaning/rinsing dishes, too, especially if it has a good high pressure setting.

Doesn't the faucet travel over the corners so it wouldn't spill on the floor (much anyways) without pulling the faucet out?

My ex has the regular sink diagonally in the corner- and she’s too short. It has to be farther back from the edge of the counter to miss the corner. However she’s 5’2” (and overweight) so it’s harder to reach, enough to be an annoyance every time she washes dishes.
Just don’t put your sink in the corner. There is no good solution

Yeah this seems like something you would do if the space didn’t permit anything else. Which is the case sometimes. But it’s not something to elect when you have other options.

This makes so much more sense. Still wouldn't want it, but I get it.
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
Finally, was wondering where exactly these things would have been used 😮

I can just imagine the dad who ordered the wrong sink refusing to admit his mistake and just cutting the hole weird.
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...
Kitchen sinks don't usually have an overflow
Edit: I was thinking about bathroom sink style 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.
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

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.

It's actually called a Slayer sink cause it's double basin.
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!

Thank god for the red line, I wouldn't be able to understand this meme without it.
Cock-and-ball sink
Yeah some shitbird was probably abusing a contractor and said "I don't care just get it done" at some point.
That looks like a right faff to use.
If there was a third sink in-between I could see this working.
Or it was installed in a corner
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'm imagining a contractor telling the previous homeowner that they got the wrong sink, and the previous homeowner screaming at them to "just do your job and fix it" lol
I have this one. It's not that bad actually, once you get used to it.

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?
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.
