I have never seen someone wash dishes with the faucet on the whole time, but my room mate has said that her parents do wash the dishes that way and that they are not about to change their ways, I just know that i grew up in a house where we didn't waste water as we had to pump it by hand out of the ground, carry it in to the house, heat it on the stove and pour it in to the sink, you get to lazy to be wasteful, of course now that water comes out of that magical pipe in the basement in to a water heater and flows in to the kitchen you don't think about it until you get the bill then you are just baffled as to how it costs that much!
Anyway, the average sink is around 14x16x7 a large sink is that is 7.2 gallons of water, with what this study said is used you could fill the sink until it was full to the rim 3.75 times... I now understand why we have issues with water.
