      Nah. If it was a school there would be no need for the sign as the circuit breaker would have been tripped years ago (and never reset) as verified by the faded scorch marks around the edges. The outlet itself would also be clogged up with gum and other random things that students would have attempted to jam into it.

      Agreed, I’d recognize those huge white bricks anywhere. Either a school or a prison.

      If it’s a school the socket is probably fucked up from the adventurous/reckless students trying to shove paperclips or gum wrappers into it.

    After a while it’s your fault for not switching of the breaker or disconnecting/blocking the outlet altogether. When anyone plugs anything into this, it probably blows a breaker, so they should just permanently block it, or get an electrician to reroute it to another circuit.
