Not turning off lights when you are the last person to leave the room.

I think that sometimes many people forget. We are only human. Of course, there is just something that really annoys me in many ways when you really do think about it. Especially when it is something that becomes a constant habit that happens on a rather regular basis. Then it is really something that is going to be a bit of a problem and far more of an annoyance that it really needs to be. So yeah, as long as it is really constant a lot of the time, then mistakes are to be expected. We are humans, we all make them. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Habits are really hard to break. Sometimes there is a chance where a good habit is a bit too much ingrained into our brain. I remember there was a time or two in a past, where I left the room, kind of half thinking, not realizing that people were there. To be fair, I was tired, but I turned off the light, getting a "HEY!" in the process. Still it is just something that is a habit and I try and make sure that everyone has long since departed from the room that I was in. Of course, there are just a lot of times where my mind tends to go on autopilot and I am just along for the ride more often than not. I do try and really make sure that everyone is done doing everything that they are going to do in the room. I just often times really do forget, it is something that slips my mind. A rather honest mistake for certain. A really honest mistake a lot of the time, but hey I am only human. Still its a good habit but there are a lot of times where good habits can work against us. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yeah, children tend to be rather bad with this. I don't think I ever was that much. Oddly enough, I have no idea why I was never really bad with this, as my father tended to be the one who left the light on. Then he turned around and wondered why the electricity bill was so high. Well all of those times that you have left the light on when you have left the room, that does really tend to add up over a lot of the time. I guess it stuck with me at a young age. Perhaps it is something that just simply bugs me in many ways when you really think about it. Still let's say you leave the light on for an hour that is not needed every day. That's thirty to thirty one hours of unneeded power used during the month. Its really something that adds up and it is really annoying to say the very least, other that the wastefulness, just the fact it is annoying. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Its bad when people go too far in one direction, but they do go too far in the other directions. Granted, there are going to be times where we are going to leave for the night or whatever, but there are times where we go to the bathroom or go to the kitchen or answer the phone or who knows what really else is going to really happen where we only leave the room for a couple of minutes. That is going to be something that is just as frustrating in many ways. Granted, there are times where we might not return for a while, but those tend to be a lot of exceptions to that rule. Its bad when people always leave the lights on despite not being in the room for a least about ten or fifteen minutes or more. Then there is people who take it upon themselves to turn off the lights. Both extremes can be extremely frustrating for sure when it all comes down to it. So yeah that can be annoying, just as much as so if not turning the lights when you leave the room on a more permanent basis. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Very correct indeed. There are times where we tend to use something that is in excess. Not just lights mind you but that does really tend to be a rather common offender in many ways. There is just a lot of people who I don't know if it is laziness or what, or perhaps just being forgetful or any number of things, but they are not just turning these lights off. Thus they are burning through a great deal of electricity. Is rather scary to see how much can really be lost for sure. A great deal of power is being wasted and there seems to be no end to it at all. Yeah, we need to be a bit more mindful of this for sure. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yes its extremely important for sure. Every little bit does in fact help. Also on the flipside, every little bit does in fact add up over the days, weeks, and months. I think that there is really no need. Plus not to mention, it does cost money to buy light bulbs when they burn out and you need to replace them. Granted, not that much, but any money saved is really a benefit. So that is really another reason why that the power should really be conserved when you can. Among the many ecological reasons out there. To increase the lifespan of your bulbs, so you don't dig through your pockets for even more money. Not just from the bulbs mind you, but also from the power bills that added up. Be smart and not to mention the fact that the light being off is rather something that is quite annoying to say the very least. So its really unneeded in many ways. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

One time I thought about how much electricity would be saved, if people remembered to turn off the light when they exited the room. When you think about it, there could be potentially be a lot of electricity conserved in many ways, just by doing one simple thing. It might not seem like all that much to some people, just by turning off a light. However over the weeks, months, and years, it is really something that does tends to add up over an insane amount of time. It is really extraordinary in many ways. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I remember reading that is the most common room that people would leave it on. You think that since it is normally a rather small room a lot of the time, it would be kind of hard to really miss. I mean, its not like you have to walk a long way from one end of the room to another. Not to say that it is equally frustrating when the light is being left off at other times but that is really a bad one. It is extremely wasteful for sure. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

You want to know how long it takes to shut off the lights? Approximately two seconds, at the most. Four if there is two switches in the room. Still that is really not that long. I mean, there are going to be times where people are going to forget, but when people do it constantly, forgetting to turn the lights off, well that just makes me slightly agitated for many reasons. It is rather wasteful and there are a lot of wasteful things that are out there to do, believe me. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
