Night time routine

TheMilkyPirate

Just before I go to bed at night I go around the house and unplug everything bar the fridge and freezer. TBH I only do it because I've a fear of house fires.

A mate of mine who was staying over recently saw me doing this and thought I was mad. I'd never go to bed with something plugged in!

Is he right?

Ah, shirt that is different! You are mad, unless you're doing for money saving pointer view, or saving the planet.

There is an angry fire pixie trapped inside who pisses electricity, right ?

Crazy OP......I'd rather run the risk of being caught in a house fire than standing on a plug.

My Dad has always done this and to me, it's not strange.

I walk home via the coffeshop and then sit around in velvet pants, drawing my brains out. And piss about on the internet, obviously.

Anyone else depressed at the fact that they're reading this instead of being out?

I turn off the switches, put out the cat and milk bottle then get locked out by the cat and yell at Wilma.

I've a friend who plugs out the tv & Sky box every night,he couldn't understand why the box wouldn't record stuff when he was in bed-he thought once the dish was connected it'd record,he forgot the fact that it needs electricity.

``What if.'' What if I stepped in the shower and slipped on a bar of soap? ... Oh, my God! I'd get killed!

I'm used to seeing my parents doing this and I think it is strange but considering their age I wouldn't say anything to them.

But my boss, who's less than 10 years older than me does it too, drives me twisted when I go to make a coffee and he's got the plug pulled out and the switch off from the night before.

He even plugged out my PC the other night and never told me. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't coming on for about 5 minutes because I've never heard of anyone unplugging a work PC! :mad:

At least we're not watching the Late Late Show, now that would be depressing.

When I start to find myself wanting to watch Ryan Tubridy and his toothbrush-shaped head prancing around the stage on a Friday night I'm gonna find a train and throw myself under it.

What are you using, a jackhammer? :eek:

Yeah, my wife does the whole "plug everything out", etc, drives me spare because when I get up in the morning I have to go plugging everything in again like my laptops, routers, tv's, sky boxes, chargers...

It'd nearly be easier just to flip the switches at the fuse box when going to bed, but I'm not too sure all the electrical equipment would take too kindly to being jump started like that! :pac:

I came here all excited thinking OP was going to ask what our night time routine is and I was going to tell all of you.

Now I have to wait until someone creates a thread like that

I lived with a girl who would insist in unplugging the toaster when it wasn't in use. I explained that it's a mechanical switch but she felt it was better to be on the safe side. If there's any justice there will be a toaster involved in her untimely death.

I turn off the lights and lock the door.
