So how many does it take to screw in the light bulb?
At least two, depending on the size of the bulb. Get a really big bulb and you could have an orgy in there.

Is it just Gen Z? Because I know old widowed women who pay their yard guy to do shite around the house for them like.. Change light bulbs, etc.

That will all change after they go broke. Necessity is the mother of invention, as someone once said.

quote:no way. As a young millennial I’ve never known anyone like that. This must be more of a criticism of wherever this survey was taken. NYC types?
22 per cent of Millennials, who are aged 28 to 43 years old, admitted they would call in a professional to change the bulb on a ceiling light in their home. Similar numbers – 22 per cent of Gen Z and 19 per cent of Millennials – would beg a parent to do it.

More proof that Gen X has been a disaster for this country

There is no way that headline is accurate unless it happened one time and it’s the child of a billionaire.

stupid clickbait article and I didn't even need to read it. No one is paying 1300 for a lightbulb changing.

27 – said they would not change a light bulb themselves because using a stepladder could be dangerous,

A quarter of Gen Z adults – aged 18 to 27 – said they would not change a light bulb themselves because using a stepladder could be dangerous, while one in five fear the bulb could be “too hot”.
I refuse to believe this.

I got laughed at by coworkers because I didn’t know how to change the Freon on my A/C unit. Figured it was more logical to let a pro handle it rather than me screw something up.

How many of these young people live in apartments where you can call maintenance to change a bulb and it's free? If I don't have to pay for light bulbs I might call.

Sorry but I don’t believe most of these articles.
British tabloids make US "journalists" look like Edward R Murrow.
The difference between us and them is they out right lie and freely admit it.

I give you Exhibit A of why I don’t listen to anyone younger than boomers cry about inflation and wages.

Millennials are 40 years old. They grew up in the 80s and 90s. No one gives a shite about having to change a lightbulb.
