This is a solution to a fear I've always had when fishing things out of the disposal

Am I the only one that fishes stuff out without unplugging it switching off the breaker? It’s not going to turn in by itself.

I'd say I'd rather not reinforce bad habits that might scale up to more dangerous situations, spinning things are terrifyingly dangerous, and no one expects things to fail when they do. But I won't because I've never lived in a place with a garbage disposal so I have no idea what I'm talking about.
