Residential household, issue where on one circuit, some (not all) receptacles and lights suddenly stopped working.
Plug tester says the hot and ground was reversed somewhere.
Multimeter says floating neutral somewhere.
I stick the tester into this receptacle and suddenly the power comes back on, going back out upon removal, reporting correct wiring.
Low and behold, the laziest work I've ever witnessed. Had a look at some other receptacles, THEY ARE ALL WIRED LIKE THIS. The only thing this electrician seemingly ever bothered to pigtail was the ground. Anyways, issue was the top backstabbed neutral loosened.
Homeowner didn't want it redone, just wanted the loose neutral tightened.
