    Back in the before times, in the long-long ago when work-from-home wasn’t a thing, I had a job in an office and often we would have meetings about stuff. Whenever I was the first person to arrive in the meeting room I wouldn’t bother turning the lights on, I’d just go and sit at the table and wait for whoever was next to turn the lights on. Why would I need lights while I was waiting? Nobody else was there, there was nothing to see or interact with.

    For some reason people found it weird and creepy when they’d be the next to arrive, turn on the lights, and see that I was already sitting at the table. But then they started to get it and go along with it. I remember at one point each subsequent person also decided not to turn the lights on when they arrived, and we ended up having the meeting in darkness.
