Is it only me that gets fussy customers!

[Top Cat]

Fitted a 4 gang switch in a big bedroom, after i finished the lady came in and said "i don't like that" there are 2 switches, a gap and 2 more switches, i want the switches without a gap! OK i say i will change it for a grid switch.

By the bed is a 3 gang switch, 1 for wall lights, 1 for 5Amp sockets and 1 for down lights that are 2 way with the 4 gang switch. All lights were off but 2 switches were in off position and 1 was in "on" position.
"customer" why is one switch on and 2 switches off when all the lights are off?
"Me" it's because 1 light is on a 2 way switch.
"customer" well i don't like that, i like symmetry.

I couldn't think of an answer that didn't involve the words f*** off you tw**

Just tell her to leave this switch in the off position and aslways use the other switch.

As post 11

All the above answers are sensible, you haven't met her!

Swapping the strappers over on either of the 2 way switches would synchronize the switches. i.e. = when both switches are in the off position the light will be off.

That would only work until she turned the lights off at the bed then back on at the wall. Then back out of sync. There is no way yo can sync a two way switch

Isn't it funny how children the world over are dying in the streets from hunger and disease, yet this lady is obsessed about light switches lining up.
What a strange race we are.....

She probably doesn't like Classical guitar

Yep a bit like a dog dying in a street provokes more comment than an abused child funny indeed

I have read most of the replies but after the 2nd glass' of wine on an empty stomch im finding it hard to see never mind read , firstly most customers like this need a slap as they are designers of every possible configuration of switch available having said that top cat have you ever used scholmore click now if you havent then you must try them i only use them now and the main reason is there switches are interchangeable give you an example if you need a intermediate on a 2 way face plate have you ever tried getting one ... impossible .. no all you do with click is unscrew a screw on the back remove the switch and replace it with a intermediate no need for grid and the do a complete range of switches that dont look like grid so a 4 way would be easy just a 4 way face plate 4 switches and bingo a 4 way switch 2 gang plate and no gaps ill be honest they are the only accessory ill use now well done click lol sorry wine really kicking in lol
