What it means is it was not done properly. Assuming the sink has a built in stopper. Normal for a bathroom sink. Perhaps old style when people used a pitcher and a bowl. You would fill the sink to wash and shave. If, you forgot and left the water running it would overflow the sink. You could have a kid over or?????
