Dingbat #1: My brother's friend from school. We had a box fan that my grandfather had built (literally) from a 2x8 board, a fan blade and motor, an electrical box with a light switch, and a cage around it. The switch was inside the cage, and dingbat #1 decides one day, while he's talking on the phone, to turn the fan off. Without looking. He missed the switch. It was not one of those plastic safety fan blades, but a real metal one from the 1950s. One trip to the ER, coming up.

That actually sounds like a safty hazard. You should modify it put the switch on the outside and some type of mesh or cage over the front. To many dingbats out there plus children who are still getting used to the world.

If I had a quarter for each dingbat I met....
