So far, in this house I've found: CPCs wrapped under the heads of wood
screws securing a plastic pattress box, dishwasher wired
brown-to-black and blue-to-red, shelving supports fixed with 1/2"
screws (barely in the plaster), door hinges secured with long BZP pozi
screws that have the plain shank in the door frame, BZP posi screws
everywhere, a kitchen extractor blowing into a capped chimney, a
concealed shower mixer fitted without thought of how to service it
(there's a leak!), a 13A socket connected to a ceiling rose, T&E run
on catenary wires to sheds (signed off a year ago but the insulation
had degraded so far it was falling off).
Today I found that the spur to a double 13A socket runs in a rough
channel in the concrete underneath a parquet floor. Sigh! I haven't
checked yet but it's probably a spur from a spur.
Fortunately there haven't been any structural "improvements".
Please people, if you don't know what you're doing then don't do it!

I feel much better for that vent. I'm ready for my medicine now nurse ;-)

Which of us has not learned the error of our ways the hard way, having
done at least one of the above.

I hope that is a satirical comment.
