Sockets http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/ Ya normal, but current flow theory in the UK may not be. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-31224 2006-09-04 19:08:18 i have to do the exact same thing. when i see a switch that is on with nothing in it i have to turn it off. despite where the plug is. it could be in my home at work, wherever. so no u are not alone. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-19385 2006-05-28 09:07:28 Sounds like you have a low-level OCD going on. No big deal though. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-16857 2006-05-07 05:48:15 Heya, I'm the original poster. I was in physics class today and I saw a socket like that so I asked the teacher to switch it off as it was anoying me. Now the class probably think I'm weird, they don't seem to understand where this comes from. But I must say that when I explained my annoyance the teacher then found sockets like that annoying. I have GOT to be normal. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-14015 2006-02-20 14:40:52 man, all of you are much smarter than me. Also, here in M'merica, we can get these plugs as well. They are about 10 times more expensive than a regular one. If you mail me $300 or $400, I will replace all of them in my home. I love you. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-13828 2006-02-14 18:24:05 Thanks guys, you've made me feel alot better. Also I had an American teacher who said you don't have switches over there, that has got to be dangerous. But at least you won't get pissed off when the switch is on eh. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-13598 2006-02-08 07:10:21 That is a really good idea. Being from America I didn't know some electrical plugs had that. It sounds much safer than our ones that are always one. I hope this idea catches on in the states. And yes, that sounds normal. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-13594 2006-02-08 03:25:28 This is completely normal, you have a tendency to conserve energy. It's not a bad thing either. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-13590 2006-02-08 02:06:11 plugs do seem to have a air of mystery when the power is on and the plug isnt in. american plugs are dodgy. http://isitnormal.com/story/2024/#comment-13585 2006-02-08 00:36:12 Rip em out and put American made ones in. Then you will have more time in you life for pickeling eggs and eating blood saucage and also looking for hot Brit chicks. I love you.
