My favorite is when one of the switches does nothing you can visibly see and you never find out what it’s for.
Might be exterior lights that also have motion sensors so you never realize you turned them on.
or switched outlets that were converted back to unswitched
or fan/light switches but no light kit was installed with the fan
That first one might actually be it. There’s an old motion light on that side of the house that I still need to change out. Good call.
Or no fan was installed with the light.
I was going to get smug about how I was diligent enough to blank off the switch when I removed my garbage disposal, but then I remembered I have switches that do nothing in my fanless bedrooms.
I use a bunch of sabbath covers for switches that either do nothing or shouldn't typically be switched. Easier than installing blanks.
