Light switches outside of rooms
- Especially when the room is a bathroom. What the frig is the point of this? I mean it's like the electrician REALLY got a kick out of playing the "lights out while on the crapper" game, and just HAD to share it with everyone. I guess this peeve stems from the fact that between plumbing and paranormal investigation, I spend a lot of time in other people's houses, and in the dark at that, and there is nothing more frustrating that searching for the dumb switch only to find that it isn't even in the room

Ha - Never experienced this - I would be peeved as well.
I did live in an apartment once that had a switch they we never found out what it was for . . . doubt it was hooked to anything, but we always joked about turning off the lights to some woman's kitchen in Barcelona.

Yes! That is so annoying!
Or when there are so many light switches all in the same area that you don't know what does what. It's like that in my kitchen...off the top of my head I can count 9 light switches just within the kitchen and pantry area. It's too much for one person to handle!

This refers to building codes, light switches must be certain distances from certain types of water sources.
As for everyone with switches that lead to nothing, most likely they are switches that go to an uninstalled ceiling fan outlet. Many builders will install the wiring to a ceiling fan even if there isn't one to install so you have the option to install one later.

That's a good pet peeve, but I have never encountered that. My pet peeve is people not washing their hands after using the restroom & people driving while on their cell phones!! Now those are some good pet peeves!!! AAArrrggghhh~~~

AHAHHA. I hate that as well.
At my dad's house, the switch to my light is 2 rooms over.
How that makes sense, I'm unsure.

If the houese is old and it was rewired many times that can happen. But if wiring was installed correctly that shouldn't happen. And I don't like it either.
