cheating the bathroom lights.

I am out-manoeuvring the bathroom lightbulb.

Some background info in case this makes no sense whatsoever:

2 weeks ago, the lights downstairs stopped working. And it's not yet fixed. YES; that means I pee in the dark when I'm watching Castle.

But, most curiously, as soon as you're done (peeing, that is) the lights will magickly come on again. It's become a challenge recently.

To get the light to turn on, before I go to wash my hands, I've tried to trick it. But every time, it knows.

And I know, of course, it is an inanimate object that isn't "out to get me". But seriously. EVERY TIME.

I've tried to sit and just get up. Nothing. Tried thinking about going to the sink. Nothing. Made false starts to the sink.

NOTHING.

The light refuses to turn on until I am deadly serious about getting up from the toilet and then actually do it.

HOOOWWWWW? :(

Of course, the easiest way would be just to change the bulb, or get the wires fixed. But that would be taking the easy way out. I REFUSE to let this to one up me.

IT'S ON. Officially. O>O <= thats me. on high alert. no toilet can beat me when I'm -this serious-.
