It's probably arcing and ready to start a fire in the middle position...I am dead serious.

If this is a house switch, why is it in the maintenance forum?

Worn out. Almost impossible to miswire a single pole switch.
Replace ASAP.

What part of Houston?


A single pole switch can be had for less than $1 at pretty much any store. Just replace it.

There should be a home repair forum for these questions.
 
If it's one that is frequently used or carries a large electrical load don't use the $0.59 ones.

This should be moved to the General and Off Topic Forum.
