Through various building works when I was younger I always lobbied for a square basin. My mum would immediately reference their impractility for cleaning. I thought she was so lame.
Our bathroom (put in by our predecessors) has a square basin with a flat bottom. Fuck. Me. Is it a bitch to clean. Toothpaste always sits in the middle and basically has to be hand washed away. Limescale builds up on the plug. I have to use a mug to shave into, then unscrew the plug and carefully pour the hairy liquid down, because if I shave into the basin it just sits there and I then have to spend ages wiping it down after trying in vain to wash it away.
The only saving grace is that it was useful for the first month of each child's birth for washing them.
