She thinks that it wastes electricity to turn lights on and off, unless you leave them off for a couple of hours or more. I say, if you are leaving the room for 10 or 15 minutes or more, it's better to turn the lights off.
The two lights in question are the long, fluorescent types. She says that because they are so long, just turning them on draws a lot of energy, so it's better to leave them on.
She thought I didn't understand her explanation. I said "no, I understand the reasoning perfectly, but it just isn't true!"
I might be inclined to just let her win the argument because it isn't a big deal to me, but SHE is the one so obsessed with keeping the electric bill down.
Who is right?
