 Here in the U.S. anything in a wet or moist area is SUPPOSED to be GFCI protected My house has NOTHING !    I remember watching my mom use the electric hand mizer in a pot sitting in the sink !

Yeah, we do have them in the kitchen, and far too close to the sink for my liking. But a bathroom tends to be a lot steamier, and ours is so small you couldn't fit one in there anyway without it being within touching distance of someone in the bath.

As for drying your hair, as I said it gets steamy in there, and the mirror is useless..! We dry our hair either in the hallway, where there's a big mirror, or in the bedroom where there's an even bigger one..! And not near any water, either..!

Outdoors I always use a 110V centre-tapped transformer as used on construction sites to power anything I need out there, which isn't very often.

 @ Ria :  I've always heard of them being called "outlets"  I picked up "receptacles" here on LG . Honestly , having them in the bathroom is no different to me than having them in the kitchen , the garage or out in the yard . You can still get shocked when wet .  Now , if they were in the shower / tub area I'd have a BIG problem with them !

 @ fluorescent lover 40 : My problem with the wood plate is that it wouldn't allow a larger diameter plug (hair dryer) or something like a plug-in air freshener to by plugged in all of the way .
 The hospital grade was a freebie as a customer complained about the internal lighting not working in their ambulance . 

 @ icefoglights : exactly ! this plate could've been made way thinner than it is .

Actually, last weekend, so I'm a little late:  Wired up the ceiling light in the new room downstairs.  I went with the U-bent fixture that I picked up earlier this year.  However, I'm prepared for anything.  The ceiling box is fan rated, and I used 3-conductor cable running to the switch.  I put backing blocks in for the 2-foot square U-bent fixture, but I also put in another set of backing blocks for a 4-foot linear fixture too.  Almost ready to start hanging some sheetrock on the ceiling.

Those wood plates were always super thick.

Today I prepped one of my snowmobiles for summer storage and put the battery back in the motorcycle for the first time in 2 years.

Yes, along with a couple of MV's that were incomplete...one worked, but the other was questionable.

@wide-lite 1000 - The cover plate has nothing to do with the receptacle wearing out. It’s simply worn out due to the amount of use that it has received because the metal contacts inside spread out over time with use, eventually causing the receptacle to no longer hold plugs as well as it used to.

Great that you replaced it with a hospital grade receptacle. A big step in quality from a (I assume) residential grade receptacle.

The idea of sockets (ok, receptacles, silly word  ) in bathrooms will always scare the crap out of me 

 I replaced both the receptacle and cover plate in my bathroom . The previous brown leviton 15a duplex had gotten worn to the point that plugs wouldn't stay in properly.  The cover plate was one of the real wood ones . It's so thick that the receptacle was slightly recessed by about 1/8" below the face of the cover plate . Is the plate what killed the outlet ? no idea ! I installed a used lighted hospital grade Ivory 15a.with EOL lighting I removed from a truck at work along with a normal plastic cover plate I got from ReStore for 25¢

 This setup consists of a 2 gang box with a switch on one side and the duplex on the other . The switch is still the previously installed brown one .
