I think I was asked this very question in an interview once. I think I answered something along the lines of 'If you have a light switch like that here in the office, the first thing I would recommend is calling in an electrician to change and move the switch to the correct room. Why would you have a light switch that controls a light in a different room and apparently two switches that do nothing??'
Got the job.
The bathroom where the switch is prone to get splashed?
Sure, but I would still argue the bathroom light switch should be located, I don't know, next to the bathroom door? And most definitely there shouldn't be two totally useless switches there.
I don't think I would like to work for a company that struggles this much with light switches..
Or with water, frankly. Is the only option for the switch inside the bathroom literally in the sink basin? There shouldn't be that much splashing in a work bathroom.
