       Unplugging versus using the On/Off Switch
       By: Generic Date: July 7, 2023, 2:30 pm

       Okay, I'm getting cranky!
       What is so hard about using the on/off switch? Is it that
       difficult to find and turn off a switch on a fan? Do you really
       need to pull the plug on the wall attached hair dryer that
       serves as a night light for the bathroom rather than just leave
       it plugged into the GFCI plug?
       What's with people not knowing how to actually use anything
       anymore? Seriously? Is life in Europe so much more difficult
       that nothing is built with an on/off switch?

       Or just turn the damned thing around so the tiny red light
       On/Off is facing the wall or the headboard? No unplug everything
       AND unplug & turn off the emergency light that may save your ass
       in an emergency! They also mess with the locks on the window -
       you know, the one that has TWO (2) latches that I keep on
       unlatched so in an emergency you just open the window and get
       out? the one YOU will be guaranteed to have one latch open and
       one locked so you cannot get out!
       Recently, rather than just turn the DVD player around, they
       somehow detached it from the TV which took it off the cable
       daisy-chain. Had a guest who is the City software consultant who
       reconnected it for me - but the Weather Channel where I USED to
       have the TV set is now missing on THAT TV (still on the other 2
       so I know it is out there). He did not think the Weather Channel
       was a big deal - the TV worked.

       It seems guests just like to mess with stuff, move furniture,
       pictures, I could see a need for a long-term tenant but for an
       overnight guest it seems like a lot of effort for a short stay.
       Been a while now but in the same week a guest was very unhappy
       that the room was too bright, covered the lights on the clock
       and microwave, couldn't sleep, almost the next guest in the same
       room complained that we didn't supply nightlights because the
       room was so dark.

       We supply dedicated charging stations.   One guest asked us to
       move the charging station to the other side of the bed.
       🤷‍♀️.

       I have a 6-port USB charger in each guest room. In the "best
       room" it is on the bookcase headboard where there is plenty of
       room for ALL their devices. these towers are plugged into the 6
       outlet surge strip next to the bed. I have these surge strips on
       both sides of each bed. I cannot begin to tell you how many
       times EVERYTHING is unplugged.

       One mirror, we had to BOLT to the wall. They kept on pulling it
       off. They damaged the whole wall. Why is there not a system
       where you can lock something pulled in?
       For the AC, I put in a childproof cover, so they wouldn't
       disconnect it. With a sign that says "Use the remote"

       Maybe because I read this post, I got an ad for a switched
       outlet adapter  8)

       I was at the Cost Club and they were selling a mirror with a
       built in light. Where was the switch? It was a touch button on
       the mirror... great, just what I need, a reason for people to
       actually TOUCH the mirror
