Once upon a time my Pops took all of the light bulbs out of our bedrooms. When we complained and asked about it he handed us a flashlight. He proved his point, but the older me now realizes the damn batteries for the flashlight would have cost him even more.

I am when my mom comes over to my house she’ll turn on and leave every light she turns on on.

I used to not care until it’s an electric bill that I’m responsible for haha. Funny how that works .


And it’s a running joke we have where I’ll start singing “ every light in the house on” by trace Adkins and she’ll realize she’s left lights on

All I have to say is “do I need to start singing?” My wife and daughter will start turning out lights.

Damn kid and wife, love leaving lights on. The garage light is always on. Nobody is ever in there for more than a minute!

This woman I rented a room from for a few weeks was absolutely fricking evil about leaving lights on. I accidentally left my light on when I went to the bathroom to pee and she took a dollar from my wallet.

My wife is the light switch nazi at our house. I am the one keeping track of how much water the kids waste. I knew I’d turned into my dad when I banged on the bathroom door and yelled “you’ve been in there for over 17 minutes!”

80% of the light switches in my house are motion sensor.

What do we think it cost per day to run lights in the living room for 12 hours? I’m curious.

Everytime my husband says something about me having a light left on when I am not in the room I ask him if he wants me to bump the thermostat up. One is much more costly than the other.
