Quick access for when you really, really have to go.

Imagine trying to aim (leave the lid up, for sure) from the bottom step when you're all sleepy at night? I'm sure I'd have a horrible accident. In both aim and head injuries.

What's kind of amazing about that is that they seem to have had granite cut to frame the weird-angled sink as well as the cabinet to its right. That's a real head-scratcher.

The sink is too deep for the countertop? Or too wide for the space?

Or someone measured once, then cut?

Honestly, in all my years experience doing home remodeling, the biggest head scratchers tend to come from overanalytical engineers. Function, purpose, and ergonomics come before style, artistic design, aesthetics.

If you ask me.....someone built a house positioned according to a compass (smart), but the terrain only allowed for a driveway to come in from the side of the house....so some engineer thought it would be a good idea to have the kitchen sink facing the length of the driveway....you know, because human's necks don't readily turn. (and for the record, I grew up in a city where many of my closest friend's parents were engineers (NASA, NSA, Ft Meade, Pentegon, etc. I know how they think....and it often went overboard.)

I wonder if they make a "Smoking Transformer" or "Blown Electrolytic Cap" scented candle.

Modular design makes replacing components easy.

Reminds me of a very short-lived guitar amp that had LEDs in faux-tubes hanging down from the chassis, 'so the sound could bombard the electrons' or some other stupid-ass marketing voodoo. Can't remember the name, but they had an ad in GP in the late 80's/early 90's.
