There are two types of people in the world — and I know how to tell them apart
One type, when dealing with a three-bulb, difficult-to-access ceiling light fixture containing two burned-out bulbs, replaces the two dead ones.
The second type replaces all three — not just the two dead ones but the one that's working just fine.
Which type am I?
Which type are you?
Which type would you like to be?
I wonder if I should trademark the bookofjoe [Dim] Bulb Personality Test or just let anyone who wants it take it and claim they thought it up.
You know the answer to that one.
That's why I like you — 'cause you're so smart.

Why use a lightbulb when you can curse at the darkness?

I don't think I've ever replaced a light bulb in my life. That's what men are for. ;-)

I am in a third group. I don't fit. The power in my house is so stupid, that lightbulbs blow out all the time. I replace 1 bulb per fixture (except in the bathroom- they all need to be working), and I've tried so many lightbulbs, and it doesn't make a difference, so I use the cheapest ones.

I'm with Shawn Lea
It does beggar the question - what do you do if you own a 60 bulb chandeliar and 2 bulbs blow?

I think it says much more about me that I never even imagined that there were people in the world that would change all three bulbs just because they were already up there. I had to read it twice just to make sure I understood.
Heavy, man. ;)

Hello,
I've lurked long enough - purely on the title to this post, and your abiding interest in poetry, may a suggest getting your hands on a short work by Susan Holbrook. It's called 'Good Seed, Bad Egg', and i bet you'll enjoy it.

I'm not afraid to answer!
I wait for the third to blow and then replace all three with CFLs.
If the room is too dim and the fixture is high enough to warrant my hefting around the deep step safety ladder, I replace all three. The un-dead bulb gets put back in the storage cabinet and is used when the sole fixture on a dimmer switch blows a bulb.
