    Q: How many people does it take to change a lightbulb in a Trucking group?
    • 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.
    • 22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being #######es.
    • 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 (several are of someone eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”)
    • 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.
    • 12 to post F.
    • 8 to ask what F means.
    • 16 to post 'Following' but there's 3 dots at the top right that means you don't have to.
    • 3 to say "can't share"
    • 2 to reply "can't share from a closed group"
    • 36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.
    • 15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.
    • 6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$"
    • 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. This usually takes place within the first three comments.
    • 50 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.

    Definitely following this one :happy1:

    We really need more information to help with this thread though. What brand is the lightbulb, what watt, your location, your mother’s maiden name, your great grandfather’s place of birth etc etc. You know, the usual stuff.
