i used to believe that when you turned light switches off and the lights went out, that the switches themselves would try to make the lights go back on again. they did this cause i believed they had minds of their own and they liked when the lights were on. so every once and a while,at least a few times a day, i would push them down. i used to tell my mother that we couldn't go on vacation without someone to come and push the light switches down a few times a day. i'm still in therapy for stuff like that
