romex on edge
I don't know many inspectors who enforce 334.30, but it is a pet peeve of mine! 
Does this drive anyone else nuts?

Wow! I've never seen romex stapled on edge like that. You're saying it's a pet peeve of yours, so I'm guessing you run into it from time to time? I hope it's enforced, because it's been in the code for a long time.

Being the devil's advocate, maybe that edge is away from where the sheetrock screws will be penetrating. If that's the case it may be better.

Marc, I can't belive you've never seen this! Well, good for you, cause I see it often. There are a few people's work that, if I have to finish, involve fixing this a good bit. It's getting better,because they get tired of hearing

Un-freaking believable! I've NEVER seen it, I can honestly say. Not even in DIY work.

I've seen people do that. Never understood why. Just as easy to staple it the right way.
