As a home inspector, I was doing a pre-insurance inspection, the people had just moved in, a young couple and their adorable 4 year old, long blonde hair, daughter and a huge golden. In the kitchen, family room area there is a laundry area, slop sink, washer and dryer, I glanced down by the sink base, there was a 220 volt receptacle, with the cover broken off, bare copper showing, someone had spilled a bunch of water and there was a couple of soaked towels on the floor inches from the outlet, the little girl and the dog were playing right there. I said, you are sure that the outlet is dead, right? He said...what outlet? I pointed to it and explained what it is and he just shrugs, guesso. I moved the towels and went to the main panel, yep still energized. I went back inside, (he did not follow me out, the game was more important,) and I told him that it was live and I turned it off. His replied as if I had told him that I wiped my feet before I came in, he said "oh...thanks". He later told his agent that I was kind of pushy. Here's your sign, dumbass.
