  GFCI outlets aren’t too expensive. If you own the place you should fix that. If you rent the place you should complain lol.

    I don’t think non-GFCI outlets are even compliant with code in most places! If you rent the place, demand they be made safe. Or maybe someone reports a shock or a small electrical fire happens…?

    Don’t you need a ground wire for them to work? The electrical was put in in the 50s and so there is no ground

  You can see in the photo that it’s GCFI

  So at least it should trip when the squirting blood shorts it.

  You may have a GFCI connected to it somewhere. If wired correctly, you only need one in a chain to do the job. It could be under the sink or something.

    Could also be a GFCI circuit breaker protecting the entire circuit.
