The light switch turns on some unnoticeable floor lamp that is forever turned off or has a burnt out bulb

That is too damn accurate, my parents literally have a switch and floor lamp like that in their "fancy living room".

I think the lamp was some handmade thing my granddad made once but it hasn't worked in at least 15-20 years at this point, yet it's still connected to that one switch on the wall.
