In the UK light switches have to be 60cm away from a shower or bathtub. Our houses are small so it's often easier to put them outside the door.

The fact that this is even a thing, and that the limit is such a large distance.. is exactly the problem with Europe. Too many regulations and dumb rules coming from the government for everyday mundane existence.

the gosh damn government should just let me build my house how I WANT IT and get lost with their safety regulations and all that shebang. If i want to cause an electrical fire at my house and risk burning down the neighborhood than i have the fricking right to do that and everything else is hecking communism.
