sartre 0 #30 April 16, 2007 ROFL!!!!! No, all you have to do is screw in the switch plate. Have it lead to nothing. And instead of a silly printed paper label, get a metal plate engraved with the words DO NOT TURN OFF or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #38 April 16, 2007 You gave me an idea... Put in the switch with the label. The switch controls a loud, and I mean LOUD, audio recording: "I TOLD YOU NOT TO FLIP THE SWITCH, DUMBASS!" It's kinda like putting a big pile of marbles in your bathroom medicine chest to see which of your nosy visitors opens it to see what you got.My reality and yours are quite different.

All you have to do is get a similar label, print "Turn Off If You Want" and paste it over the other label.

sharimcm 0 #45 April 16, 2007 OK, so I asked an electrician (I work for an electrical contractor) what the switch would go to. After he sat there for 20 minutes explaining in technical terms what may be wired to it, I walked away. It was way too technical for my brain to comprehend what he was trying to tell me. But, he did say not to turn it off unless you want missles coming out of the toilet. I understood that. Just thought I'd pass on the information.

sartre 0 #47 April 16, 2007 LOL people!! I love the creative suggestions for its use. I think Turtle may have the best solution-put a new label over it. It won't be so tempting then.Ok, so I tried it. Nothing that I could see happened. No missiles shooting out of the toilet, no sonic booms, nada. Of course, there is this annoying beeping sound that has started coming from the microwave..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
