Am electrician can confirm
If I dont do it the homeowner tries to and I have to awkwardly nod instead of fixing the problem and that just takes so much longer
I mean, I once had to explain to my electrician that the reason the dryer plug was screwed to the side of my panel box (6' off the ground) was because the previous homeowner was the son of an electrician.
Yeah that tracks 🤣
It gets better: he also refused to restore power to the shed the cousin of the electricians son wired, because the line was buried without a conduit, and uh, was not rated for the absolutely massive drill press he had in there.
Not sure how he didnt trip the main breaker trying to use it, I have been told every electronic in the house lost power when it was on (house had a 60? amp service when I moved in).
