this question refuses do die! on your place you have each and every of the kit you may desire to accomplish an straight forward test and notice for your self! All you want is a kitchen sink, or a shower! Fill it up and then -- pull the plug. try this 10, 20, one hundred situations. you will discover that the the now and lower back it swirls clockwise, now and lower back anti-clockwise. (This assumes you have a symmetrical bowl and not some wierd formed asymmetrical one.) B.t.w., the path of water swirling down a bathroom bowl is desperate by using the layout of the bowl!

In essence what you are talking about is the Coriolis effect. However it is not true. The only difference in the way that the water goes down the plug hole is to how the drainage is made or if there is anything that is obstructing the drainage.

that is not true at all - it does not depend on where you are in the world- but it does depend on the shape of each sink. Some sinks are made slightly higher on one end, so when the water goes down, it turns the way opposite of the tilt

THIS IS NOT TRUE...it only depends on the manufacturer of your sink...the coriolis effect is a large scale effect that will not overcome the laws of gravity on such a small scale!!

about 10 years ago, we were drunk on St Pat's day and called a bar in Sydney, AUS and asked them to flush the toilet and tell us which way the water swirled.
This was the FIRST scientific evidence disproving the popular Coriolis Effect

It is due to the coriolis force. I can elaborate but wikipedia has a good description on the matter.
Edit: previous responder is actually right. It is actually in the article in wikipedia.

That statement is just plain old bad science

Oh no! Not this again.
This is all balderdash.
