There oughta be a law!
Papersatan:
So I can tell you when I worked at Macy's the store's lights were not on a motion sensor, they were on a timer. I worked changing sale signs before store opening, and I worked in the near dark of just the security lights, so did the cleaners and the maintenance crews. Having lights on a motion sensor would actually have meant the lights were on more hours of the day. In the 6 hours of the day that noone is there the lights provide enough light for the security cameras to get a picture. This would be helpful if there were any sort of loss: pipe leaks, floods, fire, vermin, as well as losses which involve people.

Nope, background lighting (as in lights which do not plug into a power socket but are switched on by a wall switch) is included in our rent and she will not have to pay any more than if she'd left the light off.
Of course it might have been an interview candidate who left it on - they were in at the start of December. Whoever it was, I wish I'd gone to the porters and asked them to turn it off a month ago. I didn't realise for ages that it had just been left on in an empty room, I was taking it as a sign that there was someone else in college - but then I saw the light on at 6am one day, and 2am another day, and during daylight, and realised.
Carl-E:
At a college, the first two would not be suspicious. It's the daylight one that tipped you off!
Barmymoo:
Well, the 6am and the 2am were in fairly close proximity and most people don't see both ends of the day. I only do sometimes - to poor effect. Also, anyone who stays up over vac is either staying because they have nowhere else to go (me) or to work - in which case probably not up all night.
Bluesummers:
There oughta be a law that you can't bitch about your TV being broken, then while it's being fixed FOR FREE, complain about the fact that it's broken. I know, fucktard, that's WHY I'M HERE. I can just up and leave you with your broken-ass TV set if you're so damn unhappy.
