How many TOTV posters does it take to change a light bulb ?
 
Q: How many group members does it take to change a light bulb ? 💡
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.
6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light bulb'.
Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.
22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jerks.
5 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.
49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”)
19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.
11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.
24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs
44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you.
12 to post F.
8 to ask what F means.
7 to post 'Following' but there's 3 dots at the top right that means you don't have to.
15 to say "can't share"
2 to reply "can't share from a closed group"
36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.
15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.
6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$"
4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?".
13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs".
5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.
1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.
20 to give up on fb and take their dogs for a walk instead.*****
And then somebody announces they are leaving the group over the light bulb post, and someone replies back that this isn't an airport so you don't need to announce your departure.

And 6 to say that you should have sold all your lightbulbs before you moved here and bought new Florida style lightbulbs.

Ealdrich 01-09-2022 07:23 AM

That’s the biggest laugh I’ve gotten on this forum. If you could find a way to make It political or involve a dog who pooped on a lawn while the lightbulb was being changed, you’d have everything covered! Well done and thanks for the laugh!

Love it, the only thing I can add is there were be several of the usual posters who simply send a link to a site that explains how to change a light bulb, and a couple who simply tell the OP to google it.

Don't be too sure , a true Grouch could crack their face, then its an ER bill, possible plastic surgery and certainly several weeks of rehab to regain your frown, not covered by Medicare
