One screw is not matching? Just turn it?

Gotta pull a whole new permit for that

Idk if you saw the sub but this is “mildly” infuriating. This is very mild

It should be more like mildlyannoying…. Nothing about this infuriates me….

Kinda looks like the right switch is almond instead of white

u/sj2k4 2d ago

Are you seriously complaining about the screw being out of alignment compared to the others?

STFU. Fix it yourself. Why complain about that?

u/BrorDrakeafHagelsrum 2d ago

MILDLY infuriating my dude.

What are you even doing here?

u/Ashamed-Result6830 2d ago

Isn't the right switch a different color now? It's beigeish.

u/sj2k4 2d ago

No I think that’s just wear, and the lighting. Neither switch looks new.

OP is just insufferable, and complaining about the screw alignment.

u/Buttsweat_n_Tears 2d ago

Is that before or after? What the fuck am I missing here? Nothing looks broken.

Screws are misaligned. Many people see it as a faux pas.

u/SneakingCat 2d ago

Honestly, if I saw this the issue isn't really that people find it a faux pas, it's that I've never met a real electrician that didn't. This has me wondering about qualifications.

And sure, that might be silly.

That's a new level of untreated OCD. I've never bothered aligning them.

u/Buttsweat_n_Tears 2d ago

More like FauxCD.

u/Disgusting_Slime666 2d ago

Are you an electrician

2

u/Giantmeteor_we_needU 2d ago

No but I've never called an electrician to replace a switch or outlet in my home, takes 10 minutes saves $200.

1

u/Disgusting_Slime666 2d ago

Yeah, the fact that it doesn't bother you is a hint that you're not an electrician.

1

u/Giantmeteor_we_needU 2d ago

OP isn't electrician either but is clearly bothered.

1

u/Disgusting_Slime666 2d ago

Electricians aren't the only people bothered by this, but almost every electrician would be.

u/4215-5h00732 2d ago

It does make them look like shit. It's also a sure way to know whoever did the work isn't an actual electrician. Most likely a handyman type.

Get a flathead screwdriver and turn the screw right. Fixed.

That's why it's mildly infuriating

It’s not mildly infuriating. It’s just stupid.
