During an inspection of a 200A upgrade, the inspector took 30 seconds to look at the work I did, said something to the effect of: "I would never touch electricity, but I"ll inspect it" And signed off on the work.

Obviously, she meant, "work on electrical systems" instead of "touch" but I find it odd that inspectors would not be or have not been electricians. I am perfectly happy to have an inspection go so easily, but I can't help wondering what was going on in her mind while she stared blankly at the service panel. Is this what you typically experience, or was I so good looking, that she didn't want to hurt my feelings?
