Hello everyone!

New to this group and thought I would give it a try.

We are looking at a new house and I wanted to get an opinion on two
things:

In one bathroom, the light switch is near the show. Is this dangerous?

Only if someone in the shower while the shower is running tries to
turn the light on or off. Would anyone do that?

What can we do to correct this?

See if there's a GFCI breaker feeding that switch. If there isn't, you
probably should get one installed, but you may then run into that GFCI
annoying you by tripping off if the area around the switch gets splashed
with water.

I don't understand. I thougtht a GFCI tripped if there was no ground
like there should be.

How would a GFI trip any more than a any breaker just because it got
wet?
