Going around the house, grumbling, turning off all the lights my kids leave on

[Fuzz]

makes me feel like I'm turning into my father. But sheesh! Every. . . Damn. . . room!?!?

Kids, arg! :)

1. Did you ever see that commercial

for some bank, where the new homeowner calls his father?

He says, "Dad, I have every light in the house on, and I am air conditioning the whole neighborhood."

I love that commercial.

2. I love that commercial.

I am always yelling at my kids to close the door because they are air conditioning/heating the whole neighborhood.


:rofl:

3. New construction now has to have occupancy sensors

at least in California (Title 24 regs). Word is that the Dem congress is going to make similar federal laws.

4. I am having some success with calling 'Energy Hog!' every time the kids leave a light on

But I still have to do it every single time. Just as I have to ask "Was that towel on the floor before your shower?"

5. Oh yeah, the freakin' towel thing too!

I'm a grump! ;)

8. I wish my kids were still at home for me to grumble about the lights left on - or whatever.

Unfortunately by the time we figure out that all this stuff doesn't really matter - the kids are grown and gone.

9. I grumble about my neighbors

Who leave lights on when they're not home. :wtf:

My father worked for the power company when I was a kid - I'm incredibly anal about power usage. :blush:
