I had a project where the Owner told me of a GFCI receptacle in the kitchen that was defective.
Their logic? It tripped whenever the appliance plugged into it was turned on. The receptacle didn't trip when anything else was plugged in, just this 1 appliance.
I told him to plug the thing into another GFCI and (surprise) it tripped that one.
He said that the first GFCI MUST be defective because it trips, but the others weren't going to be a problem because the appliance was only supposed to be plugged into the 'defective' receptacle.
I pointed out that the appliance must be defective and he told me "it can't be defective, it's brand new".
AUUGGHH!!!!
I hate clueless people.
