Writes our submitter in Cambridge, UK: “There’s a master’s student living in our shared student house — the kind who lives off hemp protein and lentils. Anyway, the house has an hallway running through the middle, with his room on one side and a landing on the other. This note appeared on the landing the other day. I think it has the perfect combination of smiley faces, violent threats, love and climate change.”

I like that he acknowledges it’s an aggressive-aggressive note.

I’m not a big fan of lentils or hemp, but I AM a fan of turning off lights. Team: “those guys are dipshits!”
Although, I would have found a different way to ask them to turn off the lights. All he’s going to get, a
after that note, is something unspeakable in his bed.

As Stuart Smalley said, “It is easier to put on slippers than to carpet the world.”
Hang a large, dark sheet across your doorway to cover those light leaks around it.
Half your problem solved. The other…. accept you can’t control their carbon footprint.

That light would never be off again if I lived there. You’d think that Shit-For-Brains would realize that if he could relate to people as well as causes.

Yeah, I think I’d make sure that light was on 24/7 too, honestly. And I PREFER the dark.

Does his room not have a door? It should be the easiest thing in the world to simply shut it.

I assume the light is left on over the landing so people don’t trip on the steps. They could choose a lower-watt bulb or put a motion-sensor there, but no, he would prefer everyone fall on their face for his convenience.

Team note writer (hopefully a vegan), is it that difficult to turn off the lights? I think the note is quite funny too.

When I lived at my parents’ house, my bedroom was at the end of the hall and there was a lamp on the end table in the living room. Our doors were solid panels, but if that light was left on when I was trying to get to sleep, there was a lot of light spilling in around the crack. A blackout sheet is a good idea, but impractical when the entire door and frame would have to be covered. I sympathize with the note writer.

‘An’ hallway??? ‘An’???
Team note-writer for knowing how to put a sentence together.
Also, because adults should know better than to leave lights on all day. I’d remove the light bulb.

Ah yes. The entire human race is being killed by a single lightbulb.
Human death is far more likely to occur from falling down the damn stairs because of an unlighted hallway landing.

Team “why the fuck didn’t you just go /talk/ to them about the light, dumbass??”.

That damn Sasquatch walked through the embers of my campfire again last night. Massive carbon footprints all over the camp.

Dear Team Student,
Would love to comply with your request, but it’s a Health and Safety issue, I’m afraid.
Yours with love,

The note writer should just steal the lightbulbs. If they don’t get it…take the whole fixture.

My new favorite expression, “you’re killing me with climate change”. I may get a T-shirt made of it.

It’s an LED light. Leaving it on creates strawberry fields forever in Africa.
I understand the principle of trying to conserve energy, but saying that CO2 is emitted by a light bulb just shows how clueless people are.

It’s not free like a PA (or AA) note, but here’s a solution: a timer switch with a motion sensor that activates when someone walks in and shuts off after 5 minutes.
