Worse than that, they're fucking idiots for no purpose at all. I have no idea why anybody does anything.
This is car chat, btw, though it isn't immediately apparent. Fair warning to those that don't care.

Courtesy light doesn't work. I figure it's the unit as something similar happened in my old car. I opened it up to find that somebody had cut the wire for the switch, inserted an extra length of wire, soldered it, then wrapped it in tape. The solder had come apart in the tape, which is why it wasn’t working. I cut off the unnecessary section, crimped the wire into a bullet connector and it all works again. I have no idea why anybody would do that.

i used to get told off in every new class at junior school, because the teachers didn't believe i'd read my library books, and thought i was sloping off to be naughty. it was great as a kid and for exams, but i don't think it does me any favours in my job, as i will read things really quickly, and inevitably have to go back over some of them - you just can't read the law quickly. it doesn't work.

I have to touch the screen to stop my ipad from auto-locking about 4/5ths of the way down a page on kindle, so I think it takes me about 5 minuites to page (not sure what default is)..... so a 450 page book would take me 37.5 hours.

after much investigation, to my dad's glee when he got the bill, it was something to do with wires in the "courtesy" light. some amateur restorer had wired the whole thing up very badly indeed.
