There must be a country somewhere that would welcome those who align slots horizontally, but not on this planet.

I expect his shoelaces were the same length too
But presumably could spell the name of his store?
It's the sign of a diseased ming.
Nah. BTDTGTTS.
Its OK if you are out of control randy, but really nothing beats a nice couple of hours flat out exploring 'all the options'
Don't they belong on the second spaceship with the hairdressers and telephone sanitisers?
seriously reevaluate your life. Go visit the 3rd world and see how people live.
If he is going to do it then he needs a spirit level and a flat on the screwdriver blade to rest it on.
Maybe there is scope for a driver with three lights to ensure its done right without the need for a spirit level or an app that uses the smart phone camera to tell you which way to turn the screw?
There is another way. Trust me:-)
The slots on the screws should follow the alignment of the socket or light switch that the electrician has installed. So they can be neither vertical or horizontal.

Pardon me for getting real.
Well, yes. Boring and humourless, too.
There are probably more productive things to do than spending your morning being miserable at a keyboard.
So far today I've been out on my bike, repaired a shower head holder and done some work to earn a few quid. Right now I'm drinking a bottle of bitter my younger daughter gave me, while SWMBO is watching some lanky porridge wog hitting a yellow ball at a bloke from the Balkans.
Bit like my light switches then.
Unlike the ones installed by the 'electrician', mine are in T&E and earthed, though.

There is, but it's at war with the country that aligns slots vertically.
That would look so strange in my place.
Don't nit pick. I'm not in the best of health.
Wog is racist!!!!!!!!!
Woodscrews into hardwood have _significantly_ different torque if you give them the extra nearly-half-a-turn.

Well, yes. That's been apparent for ages.
Wog might be racist in some contexts, but IMO calling a person from north of Hadrian's Wall a Porridge Wog is no more offensive than such a person calling an Englishman a Sassenach.
Is your high horse vertically or horizontally challenged?
FFS NT get a sense of humour.
sassenach simply means "Southerner". Nothing racist in that.
Slots in line show that the person installing had an eye for detail and that even the hidden things are likely to have been done with a similar attention to detail (IMHO). A Plant Engineering Manager once told me this and I have found it has some truth. Some might sneer and suggest OCD = but I was only recently told of someone having some work done (internal doors replaced) - he said he knew he was dealing with a trustworthy craftsman the minute he laid his tools out - in a logical order - on a sheet of material and the tools were all clean. Good craftsmen have good habits!
