How to win friends and influence people: buy a toilet lid sink
Besides the fact that it's just fun to lean over to your guests and whisper, "Psst...hey, wanna try my toilet sink?", this contraption is really quite ingenious. Put simply: you do your business as usual, and when you flush, clean water that is usually shuttled away gets re-routed back up through the sink, which perches on top of the tank. The, the next time you go, you're flushing with the grey water that you used to wash your hands. And because it clicks on automatically after the toilet is flushed, there is absolutely no excuse no to wash your hands after you go. (Do you hear me, 23% of people who don't wash their hands? That's right: I'm talking to you!)
The only drawback I can think of (besides the initial awkwardness of washing your hands with toilet water - I know it's safe, but it's hard to get over the initial taboo) is having to huddle awkwardly next to your commode as you scrub, your knees knocking into the bowl. Of course, that's just in my tiny 2-bedroom in the city. It would be different in, say, a master bath.
This baby will run you $89, but there's no heavy installation necessary - just remove your current tank lid and pop the sink on in its place, and you're ready to roll.
