Confuzzled
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

You misspelled the title, should be "members" not "member." :p

Now we just need 6 more people to point out the same...
 
Back when I was a younger man. I worked at a swimmingpool warehouse. I had to change the bulbs. The only way to change the lights is to get lifted by a fork lift. (no safety cage. no grab bars. nothing. you have to stand on a pallet)

I was up there about half way done. (multiple bulbs) The phone rings and off goes my boss. As he is going for the phone he tells me not to go any where. He goes off chuckling to himself over the funny joke. haha. right. Remember I am 40 feet in the air standing on a pallet.

So after about 10 minutes. I figure he forgot me. So I call out his name a few times. No response. So I leap over to the racks and climb down. I then clean up the mess, and put away everything. I had dropped an old bulb while taking it down. I then go into the office, and there is my boss eating lunch. We talk for a little bit. Then he remembers where he left me. The look of shock on his face was priceless. He was sorry for forgeting me. I did bust his stones on occasion.

So long story short. I did change the bulbs. Now I am taking my ball and leaving. So GBCW :nyah:

:roflmao:

What I don't understand is why your still using light bulbs, instead of compact fluorescents?

I just don't get it? :shrugs:

Your post is :-offtopic. We are discussing how to change a light bulb and I find nothing humorous about that subject. If you want to roll on the floor and laugh, please find a ROFL forum.

I laugh all the time when I change light bulbs. Just cuz YOU don't laugh doesn't mean all of us have to also not laugh. Perhaps YOU ought to post on the "Not laughing at light bulb changing" forum!!!

:roflmao: :rofl:

Seriously. I felt so certain that someone had posted this before that I had to carefully check the dates of all posts on this thread to make sure that we weren't at

That said, it's funny no matter what part of the feedback loop it's in.
