Sometimes.
With my modern main supply board if a light bulb fails it can trip the switch on that circuit and leave the rest of the house with power. Until I've tried in another room I don't know whether it is just a single circuit breaker or a neighbourhood outage.

I'm sure I have. Habit.
Also tends to happen when phone and laptop have about a 35% charge. Then it's just nap time.

I've done that a couple of times, but it's really a habit of reaching for the switch as I walk through the bathroom door without a conscious thought.
That said, I'm sure that I've done things equally scatterbrained as trying to turn on the lights when the power was out. Trying to open power windows when the car battery is dead, maybe, because I know the air conditioning won't work. Trying to turn on the flashers. Something like that.

Only occasionally. We regularly lose mains power up here in the mountains so we have the drill down: candles, flashlights, gas stove, fireflies. If my meds don't cost too much this year, we'll likely get an auto-genny before next winter. If costs don't go down but power does during a blizzard, we'll retire to the little RV and run its genny.
Yes, because the other room has 12-volt DC back-up power that runs on a solar-charged Costco battery. Living in a remote area, I am used to extended power outages.

No, the powers out. I reach for emergency lights which I keep handy.

Then it's not TOO dark because you can see the cat.
In total darkness, all cats are invisible.
Except the luminescent ones.

There's that.
Also ignore. I don't recall ignoring any of his IEDs, er userids.
Boring doesn't make me want to ignore someone.
