I am not saying that at allfor a start: gravity
water comes out of tap and falls due to gravity, and water pressure. Direction of water around sink is dictated by angle of attack, shape of sink, that sort of thing.
The movement of the Earth has a very small effect on how it moves, but it really is very small indeed.
The Coriolis effect works on things like hurricanes, where you have a long lasting vortex of low pressure. Big storms go different directions in the Northern and Southern hemispheres
