Why do houses have a switch to turn the shower off, either a cord on

Can't be for safety - if you're in the shower and get a shock, if
you've
managed to get out to reach the switch, you've got away from it anyway.

Can't be to isolate to work on it, there's a fusebox for that.

Don't need to turn it off when you're finished showering, there's a
switch on the shower itself.

If I answer this, do you promise to **** off?

It's so somebody not in the shower can isolate it quickly before helping
the poor bugger who is being electrocuted.

That's not the reason for the pull cord on the switches inside the
bathroom.

So what is?

Like I said, so you don't use the switch dripping wet just out of the
shower.
