I wish I had a kitchen sink with a foot pedal so when I am washing hands or dishes I could make the water come out only when a thing being cleaned/filled is physically underneath the water
@mcc This is an unreasonably good idea.

@mcc

Such sinks exist at least in medical settings (as an alternative to an elbow-operated tap, so that you can wash your hands and not touch the handle afterwards).

@mcc That's an awesome idea.

@mcc just did a kitchen remodel and have a side faucet that is foot pedal activated. It’s great!
@mcc don’t understand how this is standard for a thing you are regularly using with dirty/wet/full hands

@PsySal @mcc I could have sworn I remembered a friend who worked in a restaurant kitchen saying this is how their dishwashing sink was set up but for the life of me I cannot remember who. Not sure if it’s common though
@mcc they are pretty cool. I like the knee-operated ones, too.
