Most plungers are both. Pull down the cone for the commode or push it up inside for the sink.

What kind of maniac uses it in a sink after using it in a toilet?

Clean it first. Then clean the sink after using soiled plumbing tools.

Just buy a new sink after you unclogged it.

I guess the kind that actually cleans the plunger after use. When I have to use one, after use, I take it outside and hose it off with the hose pipe then soak it in a bucket of bleach water.

I just rinse off the plunger in the new toilet water. Never had an issue.

The sink is one of the easiest areas of your house to clean with soap and water.
