That's what my father does. He's an electrician though, so he usually takes all the precautions including shutting the breaker off. Unless he's messing with something that he wired himself he doesn't trust anyone's electrical work but his own. You'd be surprised how many light switches and outlets he's run into that are improperly grounded or are otherwise sloppy. It only takes a several seconds of electricity to die, so why not just spend the time flipping the switch?
