Before calling a repairman, check out the hose (for cracks). Alternatively, if the washer is located near the water heater, check to be sure that it is not leaking.

What does it mean when kitchen sink drips when toilet is fllushed and shower is used?

It means that you should sell your home and move far away! No jk If its your faucet that is dripping I think in time your faucet needs repaired or replaced because if it drips only when you run water at another fixture (faucet) and doesn't drip if you have everything off then you have a strange faucet but its most likely caused by water hammer (sudden stop of water flow) and if you don't think its cause by that then it also could be from water pressure which when you turn on another faucet and the pressure drops a little and from the drop of pressure and it vibrates your seal in your faucet which could make it drip but very rare but possible.
