[hackerspaces] Does a space need water?

[john arclight]

If we shared a bathroom with other tenants, they would probably try to
kill us. Most of the time, I find myself washing my hands _before_ and
after using the toilet, as they've got oil, cutting fluid, and other
general filth attached.

So the nasty sink would definitely get us in trouble, unless they had shop sink.
