If a light bulb breaks off in the socket, it can be troublesome. In order to replace the bulb, the broken one needs to be removed. However, you don’t want to cut yourself in the process.
Next time this happens, make sure that the light switch is off, then cut the end off a potato. Cram the potato into the socket. You can then unscrew the lightbulb without getting cut. When done, just throw away the potato and the end of the bulb.
I’m not sure, but it really does work and it is a lot safer than to try to work the light out with pliers or fingers.
Why have I never heard of this one?
