Ok, so about a year ago, I flipped the light switch to the back room where the washer and dryer was and the light blew out. FINE, get a new bulb and replace it, switch.... nothing. CRAP! Get another bulb, screw it in, switch... NOTHING. SONOFA... FINE!
I go tell Lobsterman, who immediately says "well, just put a new bulb in". This started a 15 minute rant about just how stupid do you think I am of course I already put TWO bulbs in, so any moron can see that its the stupid light switch and now I'll have to call an electrician and blah, blah, seriously, really, I mean am I that stupid, good gawd!
Today the other back room light blew. We didn't have bulbs, so I thought... well, there's a perfectly new stupid lightbulb in the socket where the switch is bad, I'll just use that.
I'll pause a minute while you realize that THE FREAKIN BULB DIDN'T WORK!!!
Yep, for a whole freakin year it was the lightbulbs. Went out to buy new ones (note to self: never go to Target the day before school starts), walked into Target, then straight back out of Target because people were fighting over notepads. Went to the grocery store (because I was out of ice cream anyway) and apparently Armageddon or a major snow storm was approaching, as there were no less than 500 people standing in line while my ice cream melted.Got home, and sure enough... stupid light works back there. I should be happy... but there's this distant nagging voice in the back of my head that a lightbulb made me look really stupid.
So, the lesson here is to try at least 400 lightbulbs before you call an electrician. On the bright side, at least I didn't call an electrician who would have said "duh, all you have to do is put in a new lightbulb" at which point I'd be in jail for shoving the electrician's body in the sump pump hole.
