Are you sure it's a sink and not a bidet?
Take the hook out of your mouth.

A partial blockage in the sewer line might cause this situation. Depending on the layout of the plumbing, the sudden influx of water from the toilet can cause an air bubble to radiate backwards from the partial blockage and force water up and out of a nearby trap.
I've had roots in my sewer line that caused a partial blockage. When the
2nd floor toilet was flushed, the basement toilet (the closest trap to the outgoing sewer pipe) would gurgle and spit water. It was not a pleasant experience to be sitting on the toilet when this occurred.As soon as the sewer pipe was snaked, the gurgling and spitting stopped.

What uis a vessel sink, I have been around a long time, but never heard of that. A sink is a sink unless it is something else!!!.
It's a bidet, not a drinking fountain!
It is a type of sink. It looks like a bowl sitting on a cabinet rather than imbedded in the cabinet. Google it for pictures.

A vessel sink is one of those new fancy-dancy sinks that sit on top of a vanity or shelf.

It's long, lightweight, and has a good drain stopper. That's so that if your house is flooded, you can use the sink as a rowboat :-)
Just curious...
What's different about the tail pipe? Obviously there are specific gaskets and connectors for the specific sink being installed, but isn't a tail pipe a tail pipe?
One of the dumbest fads in recent memory.
Has anyone noticed in the title "everytime i "fish" the toilet" ? ^_^
TDD
No, but I did notice "flish" and "squits".
Oops! The print was too small for me to make out the "l" in flish. I suppose I was laughing so hard, I didn't notice "squits". O_o

It's such a dumb fad it's still single.
Really, they are dumb. Hard to clean and bathrooms don't mix, in my book.
