Well, pooping in the kitchen sink is not sanitary, so if you can solve that problem we are golden. Yes, it's a good point, there is a heck of a lot of stuff that is not efficiently utilized. I only wear 3% of my clothes on any given day. I have never used my drill (because I lost the charger but that's beside the point). Don't get me started on books or my kids' toys.
