No, that's horrible! My parents have one like that too.
Does anyone else turn off sockets with no plugs in when they're in a public building? I try not to but sometimes I can't resist
Sockets/outlets in the United States have no on/off switches.

when I was in preschool/kindergarten, I had an obsession with heat duct registers, i'd see one wherever I was at, and excitedly shout "HEEDUR!!" 
as for electrical wall socket outlets, I probably got my fascination with them shocked out of me, I useta like to stick things in them but that came to a clobbering half when I took my mom's tweezers and stuck them in, it knocked me cuckoo, sent me flying across the room. I don't know what all damage it did to my young system, doubtless something or another. I still have the tweezers, with a charred scar mark on them.

I've been electrocuted at least 3 times trying to unplug things that were stuck as for electrical wall socket outlets, I probably got my fascination with them shocked out of me, I useta like to stick things in them but that came to a clobbering half when I took my mom's tweezers and stuck them in, it knocked me cuckoo, sent me flying across the room.

Two times were from things in power outlets & one was something plugged into an extension cord. I know I was a kid/teen for two of those times but not sure if I was a teen or in my early 20s for the 3rd. It never flung me or anything like that but it did paralyze me for a couple/few seconds. I never told my parents because I was afraid of getting in trouble. I wonder if that's the reason I have a tremor disorder & am so screwed up in the head 
Wait, I was f#cked up before

It is actually common for telephone technicians to shock each other for fun. If the phone rings when you are touching the wires you will get shocked by 90V. Not to mention accidentally brushing against a telephone field. I have been shocked several hundred times.
