  When I was a kid my dad installed motion sensors for all the lights to the basement.  This way we couldn't leave on the lights in the basement at all.  I swear this saved my parents marriage.

  As for the cabinets, I agree that death is the only option.
  

  I've brought it to his attention HUNDREDS of times and he apologizes for it... yet EVERY SINGLE EFFING TIME I walk into the kitchen, at least 5 doors/drawers are wide open.  And we have a small kitchen... so it's not like we can give up the space. 

  Tell him that his only Christmas present this year will be a robot who can close cabinets. He can only get other presents if he can close the cabinets himself every day until Christmas.

  (although the robot sounds cool so this might backfire.) 

  H is Mr.IDon'tNeed/WantAnythingForChristmasThisYear and MEANS it.  Wouldn't help. 

  You are very resistive to my problem solving.

  Okay, take all the cabinets off their hinges. Tell them he can get the cabinets back when he learns to use them responsibly.  

  This is hilarious, please do this.

   

  
  Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!

  Yeah, I guess the every-cabinet-door-drawer-open-in-the-kitchen issue I have going on in my house doesn't cost me anything... except my sanity (and eventually H's life)

   

  Is that related to use-every-utensil-when-I-cook-syndrome? Because there's no cure for that!

  Is it really necessary to have the lights on in every room? Unless you have the ability to be in 5 different rooms at once, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! It's not that hard to flip the switch when you leave the room.

  That is all.
  

  I can't stand the lights being on everywhere. I also can't really focus on watching TV with the lights on. I get distracted.

  My H has that as well.  Along with "use-every-pot/pan-when-I-cook-syndrome".  Seriously, we'll make the exact same meal and i'll have like three dishes to clean and our sink will literally be overflowing for him.

  When I was in high school, I used to slam my door (i was a brat). On day, I slammed my door after getting lectured by my dad, and he took my bedroom door off the hinges. And it stayed off for SIX MONTHS!! 15 years old and no false sense of privacy. It was torture! Not to mention my brother and sister loved giving me a hard time about it. 10 years later, I still haven't (and will never) slam another door.
