    **A day in the life of a social media admin**
    (Modified from a Facebook post)

    Q: How many people does it take to change a lightbulb on social media?

    1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

    14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.

    7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

    17 purists who use candles and are offended by light bulb discussions.

    6 to argue over whether it’s ‘lightbulb’ or ‘light bulb’.

    Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid for correcting grammar.

    22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jack@sses.

    2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is ‘lamp’.

    15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that ‘light bulb’ is perfectly correct.

    249 to post memes and GIFs.

    19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.

    11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.

    36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty.

    7 to ask if the brands of light bulbs used are worth the money.

    19 to tell them that if they like the light bulbs, buy them.

    5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.

    15 People to post “I can’t see S$%^!” and use their own light bulbs.

    7 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

    4 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URLs.

    5 to post to the page that they will no longer post or are leaving because they cannot handle the $!%cking light bulb controversy.

    4 to say “Didn’t we go through this already a short time ago?”.

    13 to say “Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs”.

    1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isn’t the brightest bulb.

    4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

    5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.

    1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.

    So that’s 495, if they were all different people? Geepers.
    What about the people to remind others to turn the light bulb off when they leave the room?
    Incandescent vs led, frosted vs clear, dimmable……

    But it only took one person to actually change the bulb right?

    All I know is I’ve had my final straw with Lowe’s. I tried returning the burnt out bulb and they said they wouldn’t warranty it. Their customer service sucks. I emailed them 5 minutes ago and I haven’t heard back.

    I shared this to one of the Facebook groups I follow and of course it got a great response! rotflol You just gotta laugh about it and you really can’t take social media too seriously. Some days it takes everything i have to just scroll past and keep my opinion to myself.

    To answer the original question of how many people does it take to change a light bulb on social media? I think the simplest answer is TOO MANY! chased jester

    It’s very arrogant of all us to assume that the lightbulb, is a lightbulb. Perhaps it identifies as a Tootsie roll?
