Completely unreasonable and irrational conclusions you’ve made

[UhtredRagnarson]

Inspired by the topic of another thread I have been reminded that for reasons I can’t fathom I believe that houses that have the big light on in the living room of an evening must be chaotic homes. I hate the big light on and I hate seeing it in other homes if I’m out for a walk. No idea why. It doesn’t affect me at all.

What’s yours?

Oh I hate evening Big Light too.

My irrational conclusion is that people who have immaculate cars (inside) are Hard Work. I feel very uncomfortable if I get into someone's car and its spotless. Wheres the empty paper coffee cup or the carrier bag half full of the rubbish you always forget to bring in at the end of a drive? And how is it possible you have the time, inclination and Hoover cord long enough to vacuum it so thoroughly?

You’ve made me feel ok about my dog hairy car @BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz

I only have a big light in the lounge.
I hate lamps and I’m not going to sit in the dark.

When do you have the big light on? During the day?

When do you have the big light on?

If something is lost and needs to be found right there and then- like the remote control, or a malteser. Or if I’m in a stupid manic cleaning frenzy and still going at 10pm.

You probably wouldn’t lose the remote so much if you weren’t sitting in the dark...

You yell: Put the big light on! when a child or a cat knocks over a glass of wine. Or if you see a spider. It goes off immediately that the crisis is averted. No real other necessary times in my house.

My immediate thought was if the big light is on something has been lost.

That was my childhood right there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have to take every staple out of recycling (paper, junk mail etc.) as it can damage the recycling system. I’ve spent hours when clearing out old paperwork at home and work doing this. But I’m not sure anyone else does so it must be ok. I just can’t do it without removing them though

We only had a big light in the living room but I am introducing lamps (so far a standard lamp bought on Facebook marketplace and a spare bedside lamp on the side - not ideal) since I read that dim light in the evening will help you fall asleep when you go to bed.

The inside of our car is tidy because we rarely ever eat or drink in the car so there’s no rubbish. And believe me I’m no clean freak.

We recently moved into a house that has loads of those old fashioned side lights on the wall. Not very trendy but mother of god, the ambience!

DH just turns the big light on and leaves the wall lights off no idea how he doesn't realise how awful it is!

Drying my washing outside is somehow healthier than in the tumble dryer. Not even I can effectively rationalise this one in my head

Omg I hate the big light on...in lounge or our bedroom..my husband i joke it's the 'interrogation light' 😅

Well, if you don’t count the spider willies....

I have the big light on for cross stitch in the evening, I can't do it with just a lamp! DP sometimes has the big light on in the BEDROOM though and that's just wrong on a number of levels. I hate it. That's what lamps are for!

That people who serve out portions of mashed potato using an ice cream scoop are evil and warped.

Ditto people who have those dentist’s waiting room vertical blinds in their homes.

The hydrangeas blossoms are hiding places for poisonous spiders.

@UhtredRagnarson ............ I think I might be your soulmate

If I had a task that needed a lot of light I would get a floor lamp or table lamp that I could position over my shoulder directly onto the book / project. I absolutely hate overhead lights being on.

I love the big light.

My big light is dimmable, so...

I feel very uncomfortable if someone puts the big light on. It's like something is very wrong and I immediately start squinting, arms grasping the air, looking for the culprit and trying to figure out what terrible thing has happened that needs the big light.

We don't have a big light or wall lights.

I really really wanted my lamps to come on with the wall switch like they do in American sitcoms. OH who is an electrician said no 😢
