When I turn off the light in my bathroom, the GFCI outlet inside the
bathroom will also go dead. This is quite inconvenient because I need
to use that outlet to recharge an electric razor, and two electric
powered tooth brushes. Now, I must leave them outside the bathroom in
order to have them recharged.

The strange thing is that I see the same situation in another bathroom
in my house. I have also see the same thing in my brother-in-law
apartment -- the power of the whole bathroom is off as soon as I turn
off the light.

Why is that? What's the reasoning behind this?

Thanks.

Not much reasoning, in my opinion. But, it's probably not a big deal to
rewire things so they work the way you want them to.- Hide quoted text -

No, this should not be a big deal. I am just wondering why someone
would design the bathroom wiring in that way. Thanks for confirming
that there is really no good reason wiring in that way.
