For a long time any room I’m familiar with, whether it be at home, work, or a friend/family members house, I always flip up on the light switch or press the on button every time I enter, even if it’s already on. Especially in the bathrooms. Is this a neurotic thing similar to OCD or does everyone do this when they’re not paying attention?
No but I will flip it repeatedly if we have lost power in the house.
I’m more likely to spend an hour in an uncomfortably dim room before I realize I should turn on a light.
No, if I see the light on I do not do that.
Not an always thing, but often for me. I’ve turned the lights out at work on people more tines than I’m comfortable admitting here.
No. I have germophobia so I rather avoid touching stuff unless necessary.
That’s the most annoying thing about it for me. Light switches at work gross me out and I’m touching them for no reason.
My parents have a bathroom with an (opaque) window, so during the day you don’t need to turn the light on. Which is how I discovered I only turn lights on when I need it, but I always turn the bathroom light back off going out… and then off again because it was never on.
I’ve done the same thing on accident many times. Turn off lights when I need them on or vice versa. Sometimes I’ll go to turn off the light in the kitchen and accidentally flip the switch for the garbage disposal and promptly shit myself. Or I’ll go to switch on the light in the hallway and flip the switch for our bedroom instead and piss off the wife who’s trying to sleep. I think I have a faulty autopilot mode.
Faulty autopilot mode is a great way to describe it
Maybe if I just woke up and am hella tired to the point I don’t even register the light already being on. 🤷♂️
No. There’s something wrong with you.
