# These inverted light switches DUH!!!

Soooo frustrating! My new apartment's light switches are upside down. UP for OFF and DOWN for ON!! WHY?!!!! I need to rewire my brain every time I enter my dang room. Can't subtle design flaws make you lose your marble??!!

- **u/CouchPotato555** (resident, score 0, id `7rb`): Or you could just, ya know, not turn lights on in the first place. Let the darkness consume your apartment. 😜
- **u/KnowItAllNeil** (resident, score 0, id `7rc`): A possible explanation could be that whoever installed your light fixtures might've had the wires flipped... OR you're living in a parallel universe where everything is flipped. #JustSaying

- **u/DiyDave** (resident, score 0, id `7re`): If it's really bothering you, it's not that hard to switch wires around (if you're handy with tools). Just remember to turn off the power first. 🔧💡
