Germans put their bathroom light switches outside the bathroom

well you don't want the prisoners to choose their own fate

same here. actually never seen a bathroom with the switch inside

Some hotels do this here as well. Not really that big of a deal.

I dont know why but if they did that here and i knew someone was in the bathroom i'd have to fight the urge to turn the light off on them.

Same in my apartment.

Plenty of houses are like that here, mine included

>>212465166 (OP)
What's the reason? Literally makes no sense

>>212465497
why fight it?

>>212465535
So you can turn on the lights BEFORE entering the toilet. Also, much safer because the switch won't get wet.

quite a few houses like that in france although not the majority

>>212465166 (OP)
Nah I think only like every 4th house has that. It's not uncommon but for from being the standard.

>>212465166 (OP)
My bathroom growing up was like this and my brothers would turn off the light when I would shower sometimes

>>212465535
Older houses did it for the same reason you never used to have outlets in a bathroom. Poor IP codes. These days idk. Because they're used to it?

There was no GFCI/RCD back in the day so having 230V next to water was thought of as a taboo. Not that it stops favelanigs from hooking up those heated showerhead death machines, but that's another topic of conversation.
