    I had a neighbor whose house is wired in such a way that if they don’t have a certain light in the master bedroom’s closet turned on, one of the garage doors (they had a double) won’t function at all.

      That’s what happens when you wire from a fixture instead of from a switch.

      It’s so annoying when people do stuff like that. Like that time that someone who looks and sounds just like me wired in a combo switch/outlet off of a heater in my bathroom. You’d think someone would have fixed it by now, but I’ve grown complacent.
