What I mean is the builder put in a switch to control an outlet. Homeowner says "that is dumb" and takes the switch out of the equation, so now the outlet always has power.
What you and Ducky said makes perfect sense - I'll just pull the cover plate tonight on the switch and see if it's wired, and then pull the socket I want switched and see if I have an additional hot wire going in.
