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!
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.
That’d be awesome for me. I’m always giving my kids hot baths in a little tub out in the backyard. They love it but I have to haul the water out there.
No. Look at it in the picture. The gooseneck in it comes forward quite long enough to at the very least hit the countertop in the middle of the corner, and most of that water will either spill onto the floor if it doesn’t hit it directly.
The same gooseneck can spray outside the confines of the sinks away from the bench edge as well. There’s around 180° of movement the tap can make behind the sinks that would cause water to not fall into the sink as well. There are many wrong ways to use taps in regular sinks as well; I think spilling water between the sinks would be a self-correcting issue after the first few times it happens.
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.
That does tend to happen. Even without swiveling the faucet, moving dishes between basins causes a bit of a puddle to develop. Thankfully I have a tiled floor so it doesn’t matter too much.
If someone is forced to use a tool in a manner that it wasn’t designed to be used in and a mistake happens, that’s neither the designer’s or user’s direct fault; it is the implementor’s fault.
You can be as careful and attentive as you can muster but that doesn’t change the fact that contrary design solutions were implemented and have rendered the use of the tool (the sink) both non-ergonomic and unintuitive. This will lead to accidents.

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

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.
I was joking… Although maybe some people took it seriously.
I mean I guess in case of emergency as in I do not want to go to the store for a hose just for this one time thing…
Doesn’t the faucet travel over the corners so it wouldn’t spill on the floor (much anyways) without pulling the faucet out?

You just have to be very fast

So what I’m hearing is that the corner sink causes divorces.

Perfect for when you need to mop the kitchen floor-- no bucket required /j

Go back to your basement since you obviously have never done any chores that include using the kitchen sink
