I liked a pub gents once where they had microswitch activated taps Someone reversed the wiring for the hot and the cold, ie if you turned on the hot tap the water came out of the cold tap, and vice versa. People coming out reporting this were treated as delusional with men and women making personal visits to check for themselves. |
