    GFCI outlets aren’t too expensive. If you own the place you should fix that. If you rent the place you should complain lol.

      I don’t think non-GFCI outlets are even compliant with code in most places! If you rent the place, demand they be made safe. Or maybe someone reports a shock or a small electrical fire happens…?

      Don’t you need a ground wire for them to work? The electrical was put in in the 50s and so there is no ground, and rewiring the entire house is a headache
