Wife: Honey? This outlet feels warm. I was going to vacuum.
Me: Are the lights in the basement on? (knowing that circuit is connected because I'm a nerd who maps out the electric circuits in the house Just Because (tm) )
Wife: Yes, let me turn them off.
Me: gets screwdriver and voltage detector.
Me: takes outlet apart.
Me: finds this: (pics attached)
My wife is a friggin hero - kept the NEW (to us) house from burning down.
Moral: If something doesn't seem right, even if it's "dumb", speak up.. It could save your house, or someone's life.

I had something like that happen at a company I had done a #takehome for. I shipped a bare-bones proof of concept that did everything, but wasn't pretty but also used an off-the-shelf module. I figured I was two days in for a week project.

And they just sat on it. I asked if the module was alright, the recruiter had no idea... and later they just said that they were disappointed I didn't use the time to do something more stylish or cool.
