There’s a light fixture in my basement that is one of those generic single bulb with a pull chain deals. The chain broke off years ago. So now to turn that light off I just unscrew the bulb slightly until it goes out. It’s still screwed in far enough that it holds it in there. Every time I twist that bulb to turn it on I think “Oh yeah, I really need to fix that.” It’s been 10 years of that so far.

I’d think burning your fingers would drive the point home.
In my first apartment the kitchen light was like that. Trouble was the fixture was hanging by a wire too. It was fine until the day the fixture, in a shower of sparks, came off in my hand.
How many Biff’s *does* it take to change a lightbulb?
seventeen
Biff had super-long arms a couple of weeks ago or something like that. Wouldn’t it be a better idea to change the lightbulb while having long arms? Or maybe if his eyebrows are moveable, then he could stand on top of a chair or something and change the lightbulb using his eyebrows!
You ever notice that those cap bombs, if you drop them onto cement, sound a lot like a light bulb breaking?
Even more fun is the light bulb high up over a staircase. What genius though of that one?
The guy who sells those funky ladder extenders, fore/aft/port/starboard, so you can fall gracefully down the stairs when it lets go!
They make a screw in extender that screws into the socket has a chain and a bulb screws into it. Growing up that’s how we turned off one of the lights in our basement.
‘Course, when the chain broke we just tied a string to the leftover chain.
Hmmm, I could see myself doing, because ladders are boring
