The worst outlet.

I have a picture in my phone somewhere about a poolside outlet, buried in the grass, on the edge of the pool…
Customer complained the dang thing kept tripping and wanted me to remove the GFCI…. I declined…
That's really common. I work on pools and those outlets are normally shut off at the breaker due to water egress. I would say 80% of the time they are broken.

You should see how hapazardly some older 120 / 240 volt underwater lighting is installed, thank God for grounding.
 
I always enjoyed this well grounded classic:

It isn’t the grounding that protects people, it’s the ground FAULT disconnects… the poolside is WELL grounded…

Code prohibits any outlets within 6’ of the waters edge…
