"Those are the same people who to an excess use extension
cords that are not rated for the load they use them for?"

Odd that it should be mentioned ..................................

Had just finished fixing relative's aquarium installation that had
failed while the owner is away working.
Bad extension cord sockets, coming out from behind a desk, staples
through edges of extension cord!
Defective starter in fluors. strip light designed for aquarium use.
Another strip light; clearly marked 'Dry location only' had been added
above tank ! And had smoked. And was so corroded it was hard to get
the tube out even when dismounted.
The smoking s/c possibly damaging the timer switch; fortunately light
loads but the whole patched together with cheap dollar store
adapters!
With virtually nothing grounded!
Not too impressed with this particular son in law's workmanship!
