How do I use the two sides of my kitchen sink?

“Yeah, but your mom paid for that!”
“But doesn’t she get her money from you?”
“And I get my money from grease! What’s the problem?”

Lots of sinks I see nowadays have this, with a very small side compartment. That would be OK, but, this is important, the garbage disposal must be on the large section. Most the time when I see these newer sinks, they put the disposal on the very small section, which I can’t figure out.

I moved into a new house a couple of years ago that has a sink like that. Little tiny left section with garbage disposal, big right section with nothin’ but a strainer. Bugs the hell out of me every time I rinse a crusty dish. Do I suffer the pain of trying to rinse it in the little tiny side, or the pain of having to manually transfer the rinsed curd to the disposal side after rinsing in the big side?

The obvious answer here is to rinse your dishes before whatever was on them forms a crust. :eek:
