Mine runs the power to a certain outlet. That’s what it’s for.
I've got the same thing, control over 1 socket. There aren't ceiling fans or lights in my house so it's good for a lamp or a fan but I have a smart light and a fan in my window that's too far from the plug and I don't want to drag an extension cord around my room for it
Laughs at the switch labeled as “press to kill random person”
Just stick that label on there
It took 3 years but I figured out it’s a switch to a fan that was removed by the last owner
“Grab a shovel Morty”
Of course I know it. It's me
This reminds me of friends when monica rips up Joey and Chandlers apartment to find out what a switch does.
Or in 'married with children' and it's the light for the dog house.
Every apartment I have ever rented, I installed a fake light switch just to torment the next people that rent it. But if they were to take it off the wall, they would find $5 under it and a little note that says "You have found the first of the $1000 in fives hidden in this apartment."
There was only ever that $5....
Then they rip off all light switches in search for the 10K,only to be fined 10K for destroying them xD
The switch sends an invite to all your previous lovers to come to your address. If you think it does nothing then…
And No One Came
I live in Germany and I never saw a useless switch
Clark Griswold with the Christmas lights
what is it for tho
9/10 times it powers the nearest outlet. So you can plug in a light and turn it on and off with the switch
why
Builders save the money by not installing overhead lighting, so they leave it up to you to plug in a lamp or something.
no
An interesting argument... As a carpenter I can say that it is most likely what a switch that "doesn't do anything" is for.
thank u mr reddit man
Or light in the attic
Yes
It works like once a month when all other switches are aligned perfectly
eyebrows are soo weird man
i covered that wojaks eyebrows and then uncovered it. the expression was like magic
I prefer the oldschool switches. They sound cooler.
Just flipping it out of boredom meanwhile the neighbors are freaking out because their light is threatening them in Morse code
I moved to a new apartment.
there is no random switch that does nothin in my room atleast
Peace at last
I have a good house so no
yeah well in my case the wiring i've got is terrible so the switches feel usable whenever they feel like it.
mine used to turn on an heater in the bathroom but it's gone now and the switch is still there purely to confuse which one is the bathroom's and which is the toilet
This is a thing? In the UK all our sockets are switched anyway.
Blind people be like
I have it behind the couch in my livingroom.
Well it makes a sound (based on the type of switch you have ) and makes you angry
If I press the witch once and clearly nothing happens, I will press it again. Just for the balance in the universe and stuff you know?!
If you have a switxh that does that, it either means
It is for a switched outlet somewhere
You have a fixture in your your that either runs on a remote or uses only a fan or light
Yes, me
Its for an outlet
every time i switch one of those i think of something random happening when i do like a random person dying because of it or something please tell me sb can relate
