rant prompted by mr. technology connections man

I don't hate switched outlets at all, they're a good idea. But in all the four suburban single-family homes I have lived in that I can remember, I've never seen them done well.

In my current house, all the switched outlets are installed in the same orientation as the others. Which is fine, because that's a bad way to indicate it in the first place. When we moved in, someone had gone through with a little handheld label printer and put a sticker that said "SWITCHED" on every switched outlet. I suspect this was an inspector of some kind, and had not been there for long, because the area under the label was just as dirty as the rest of the outlet cover. Moreover, they had put this sticker DIRECTLY in the middle of the outlet, right over the screw hole, and thus completely failed to indicate which of the two receptacles was the switched one. There was no standard throughout the house, some were at the top, and some were at the bottom. Most of those labels fell off by themselves, and the ones that didn't got taken off by pest control people because THEY PUT THE LABEL OVER THE SCREW HOLE SO TO PUT THE BUG POISON IN THE OUTLET BOX YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LABEL OFF.

Almost all the light switches in the house have two switches on each panel, side by side. The problem is, the switch that controls the switched outlet for the room is nearer to the door than the one that controls the overhead light, which is very confusing and really inhibits the comically tired mindless light switch slapping when entering the room.

We also have the problem of the switched outlet always being nearest to the light switch, as you mentioned in the video.

In the living room, we actually have a lamp plugged into a switched outlet. It is the one room in the house where the switched outlet is in a reasonable location, not immediately adjacent to the light switch. But the light switch that controls it is beside the front door, and due to the arrangement of the house, that is almost never the direction you would be approaching the room from in order to actuate the light switch on your way into the room.

The lightswitch by the door from which you would enter the room is one of the only single switch panels in the house, so you have to enter the room, turn on the overhead light, and then walk all the way across the room to turn on the lamp, and then back to wherever you wanted to be in the room.

Moreover, in most cases (for me at least), lamps are a topical light source, as opposed to an overhead light that is meant to illuminate the entire room fairly evenly. I have a lamp if I want directed, specific light on a specific area. This means that it makes very little sense in the vast majority of cases to connect the lamp to a light switch separate from the lamp. It would be better to just plug the lamp into a static receptacle and turn it on and off at the point of need.

The best solution is as follows: 1: Put the damn switched sockets in reasonable places. 2: Put the lightswitch that controls it farther from the entry way than the overhead light. 3: Have indicators on the socket plates! Maybe a black outline around the receptacle that is switched, with a little lamp icon next to it, to appropriately communicate it's purpose. I can't find a replacement outlet cover that does anything like this, and it makes no sense to me that this seemingly hasn't been made yet. I can have a Swarovski crystal-coated outlet cover, but not one that just tells me pertinent information about the properties of the outlet?? 4: Have an indicator on the lightswitch, too, just in case.
