Jimmy Shaker Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 There's a cluster of light switches at the top of the stairs. Left to right, - landing light, shower, bathroom fan, bathroom light. Every time she gets up in the middle of the night or the gloom to go to the bathroom, she's to manically paw at all four like she's trying to work out the combination needed to get out of an escape room but has never seen light switches before. We've lived in the house for seven and a half years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reflection the fan is worse for the noise and then in middle night the timed run after switch off seems like days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've lived in the house for seven and a half years. To be honest, and fair, we have 2 banks of such at our front door, 3 switches on each. We've been in our house for 8 years now and none of the 3 of us are proficient in getting them all right all the time. The one we use every day is almost there but still suffers from frequent error. Also, I was just about getting there when the sparky had to change the switches and, of course, didn't reconnect in the same order. C**t. Anyway, why does she need a light on in the bathroom to have a pee (or a dump)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 She has a very annoying habit of leaving biscuit wrappers on the sofa rather than just putting them in the bin, which is about a fucking arm's length away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pth. Everyone knows small snack item wrappers put themselves in the bin. See also - empty crisp packets tied in bows or in triangles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally outed myself the other night when laughing at a Jim Jefferies* stand up when he said that a male sit-down-pee treat is acceptable at two times only: 1) when pished; 2) going for a whizz during the night when you can't be arsed turning the lights on.

BFTD Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just remembered that I've got a double switch on the stairs, one of which controls the lights, the other of which does...well, who knows? I still occasionally hit the wrong one. Been meaning to investigate for about fifteen years. Hopefully it's not a The Box situation and I've been murdering a complete stranger every time I flip it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a switched outlet? For some reason here in the colonies, they have occasional fetishes for putting one of the two outlets on the same wall plate on a switch…some shite about plugging in a lamp or such. Almost always the top outlet in the most used wallplate…and, yes, I learned about this by using said outlet for an alarm clock before switching both switches off and the bloody battery kept it lit up till I was asleep…sound asleep…asleep a long time… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever remove the faceplate and discover two sets of cables, then we've officially got a mystery. There are no sockets near it, and I've never noticed any elsewhere stop working after I've tripped the dead switch by mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stairs were replaced at some point though, so it does make me wonder if there's a sad power socket boxed off from the world on the wall underneath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I've been guilty of having a piss in the middle of the night and not putting on the light and then hearing the sound of pish hitting the lid as I've probably instinctively put it down pre-piss instead of post-piss as my son had likely left it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
