I am the author of this post and no its not a 3 way switch, I live
alone so no one else has tampered with it, its not loose, and it does
have a shaver? 2 prong outlet...


Somebody reversed your hot and neutral. ...


That won't change switch behavior of when contacts open/closed...all it
would do would be to break on neutral side of circuit instead of hot side.

If it hasn't been geometrically changed in orientation, the only
alternative is that somehow the mechanical internals have worn to the
point they're somehow operating backwards of before...

I'd suggest as someone else that a new switch is in your future sooner
as opposed to later.
