Do you ever reach for a flashlight when you don't need one?

[how_crazy_is_this]

Fidget spinners used to be a thing. Sometimes I open and close a knife, sometimes I play with one of my flashlights. Who’s to say what is needed?

My flashlights ARE fidget spinners

well no but i have the phone usually with me and it has a weak led light in case of emergency

[wle]

sometimes i will check to see if it is in the pocket ie did not fall out, or me leave it somewhere

or i will go in a dark room and use flashlight instead of trying to remember [or don;t know] where the wall switch is, or i want to see really fast when i get in there

As a few others said. I never go anywhere without a leatherman and a flashlight. Day or night.

Wallet, keys and a pistol of some variety as well.

I try and forget my phone as often as possible. People keep calling me on it.

Of course.

Why would I click the light switch on the wall when I can use my EDC light? :disappointed: :laughing:

Oh you bet. Probably more times than when I actually need a light, which on a regular day is twice or thrice.

What can I say, they’re nice to hold and fun to fiddle with. And kids need their toys!

Such as because I just want to hold a flashlight because I like the feel of a well made product, or because it gives me a sense of comfort and security?

No…of course not. I’m normal, I swear!

I keep the house dark enough that using a flashlight is never out of place.

But I’ve never been accused of being normal.

<If it makes you feel any better, I dislike almost all sitcoms now.

I do like late night talk shows that are funny and movies that are funny, but I haven’t been a fan of most sitcoms for a long time.

I think most of the sitcoms that I like are cartoons made for adults.>

Ha. I didn’t like sitcoms as a kid. Never thought much about why. Still can’t watch them. Pink Panther and Roadrunner? Still a riot…

I always grab a flashlight leaving. Maybe she dropped a credit card in the car and can’t find it, or I lose something findable with some light help. Is that a cruise missile under my truck? Flashlights during the day are okay.

I’ve caught that “disease” too

One reason for BLF is you can come here and realize other people are much more screwed up than you .
Best part of having a good light on you is when someone else needs a light .

Indeed.
As a long-term torch user (maybe 34 years or so) from age 8, I am the only person I know who is in to them - and knives aswell. I’m probably deemed a dork or whatever for my hobbies, but that turns around real fast when someone is in need of either, urgently.
I have been asked a few times why I carry a knife everywhere I go, and my only reply is “why not?”. That usually ends the questioning.

All the time, my friend!
