I was on a service call for an intermittently-working set of duplex receptacles. After removing the cover and pulling out the receptacles, and after pulling my jaw from the floor, I reached for my camera took these pictures. I shouldn't be shocked (no pun intended) to see this kind of work anymore, but this box is located in a child's bedroom which really disturbs me. I will also note that the wire nut connecting the ungrounded conductors was on loose and each of the wires had the ability to move freely.
