They are both off their rockers. I see absolutely no problem with
washing one's hands in the sink. I am presuming that they would be
careful not to slop soap suds on nearby food and that they would rinse
soap suds away when they are done. If someone were to chide me for
washing my hands in the sink they would be watching me leave, or never
see me return.
