My sink effectively was kind of like this. If you turn the faucet on all the way, which is hard to not do in practice, literally every single time, due to how the drain is oriented, it splashed water out of the sink. I would call that worse than mildly infuriating and it’s way better than this situation. I had to turn the water supply valves way down to prevent it. It’s not ideal but helps a lot.
I’ll never understand how people lived in this house for 15 years before I did and were fine with water splashing out 100 times a day.
yeah actually i wanted to post this to actually_infuriating but for 1. it doesn’t affect me personally and 2. that community has barely any exposure, so i posted it here ;)
To be fair, it’s plausible. They might not have wanted a home inspector writing up “low water pressure” as a potential problem. 'Course, the inspector might write “water splashes out of the sink” as a problem instead, but that at least is more straightforward to solve, rather than being possibly indicative of a bigger hidden problem.
They obviously didn’t solve it, since it still exists. In this scenario they put a bandaid on it and then when selling put it back to normal so the next person can do what they please.
Or they could have thought it would be a funny prank.
I think that’s much more likely than them completely braindead and suffering the whole time, like you think. That’s certainly possible too, though.
Classic internet person response. Instead of recognizing that your half assed guess is uninformed, you think you’ve done me a favor by admitting the thing that I (the person with actual context and firsthand knowledge) think is true is possible rather than likely…
It’s a rental and the house is full of “how the fuck did they not fix this” problems. But who am I to say this. I only live here.

Maybe they turned the supply valve to restrict the flow.
I just said that’s what I did. You think they adjusted to be wide open before they moved out? I’m doubtful
Wow, no shit? Is that what all those funny characters in your comment mean?
Yes, i think that’s possible, obviously.
“I’ve solved the problem. Now, to unsolved it for the next person!”

I don’t know why we’re assuming I own the place. I don’t.

Classic internet person response. You make assunptions about my leanings and motivations when you are clueless.
Whatever dude. You went out of your way to tell me what was more likely which was a weird move even if you didn’t sound condescending while doing it
