This was my dad. LED lightening kept me from following in his footsteps.
“Closet 60w led light bulb draws 4 watts so at 8.2 cents / kwh equals IT’S NOT WORTH GETTING AN ULCER OVER IT BEING LEFT ON”.

My Dad posted a poem on the light switch when I was growing up:
“Nothing can brighten up a home,
half a much as children will.
I realize it more & more,
With every month’s electric bill.”
Funny thing how I can remember that!

I had to show the grandkids where the key was kept to unlock the toilet paper dispenser roller so as a fresh roll could be installed.

“...sit through a further 115 minutes and take a final exam. According to sources, both children failed.”
Nice touch from the Bee

Sounds like my father. He used to time our hot showers when we were kids. If he felt we were in there too long, he’d shut the water supply off.

Lol. When I come home after dark my wife will have every light in the freaking house on and she’ll be sitting at her computer downstairs with half of the lights down there on too. I’ve slowly replaced all the old bulbs with LEDs so I don’t sweat it so much. Nothing will ever change her so I just live with it.

They have lights? They are lucky. Growing up we lived in Darkness, learning to navigate the house with a series of clicks and extra sensory perception.

More and more the BB is less of a parody site and more a reality report!
At least with LEDs we can let it go now...

If he really wants to save electric money, tell the kids to shower at school. Electric water heaters draw more than the whole house of efficient lights.

“Do you own stock in Con Edison PG&E??” After my wife retired, she got tired of me nagging her about leaving the lights on. So we exchanged bill paying, and she came on board to pay the Christmas and Jan PGE bills. After 6 months, she want to reverse the bill paying. I said nope, now you will get to pay for 24 hour AC bills which are not often needed in N. California with some sky lights that open and window screens. After the first AC bill over $400, she learned to use Mother Nature to cool the house and when to shut it down to keep the cool inside. I came back on board paying bills after the now lower than the previous year Christmas/New Years bills.
