Changing A Light Bulb
 
Read this in another FB group and couldn’t stop laughing. It so fits TOTV. I had to share! Enjoy

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.

17 purists who use candles and are offended by light bulb discussions.

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.

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.

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.

3 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".

1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isn't the brightest bulb. This usually takes place within the first three comments.

50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

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.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You forgot someone to mention the birthday of whoever invented the light bulb. Or, maybe, I missed it.

This is TOTV. You forgot:

10 who will believe a statement to be true when the writer is clearly being sarcastic, satirical or ironic.

4 who will post a laughing on the floor emoticon and a short statement implying they are laughing at the poster’s stupidity when it is actually they who are not too clever because they misunderstood a post and there was no reason to mock the poster.

6 who will find a way to belittle or insult the original poster or a follow up poster whether warranted or not.

7 who will say something like “if you don’t like it, leave,” not allowing for strong, assertive people who would rather work for positive change rather than giving up or quitting.

3 who will say “you can’t fix stupid.”

I have to laugh when seniors try to use outdated quotes like "you can't fix stupid" and "peace, out!"

Our Border Collie would volunteer to change every lightbulb in the Villages, if she only had thumbs.

1 saying "and that's their first post".

If it goes around it will come back around. Groovy, cool, babies, come on, man.
They oxymoron, you can’t fix stupid. Some can’t fix anything and they don’t have to be ______. I don’t like saying the S word. :)

38 who will blame the "greedy developer" for not installing light bulbs that last longer.

One who will ask what did the light bulb manager say.
