Yeah, one doesn't need "stuff". Then try replacing the light bulb, connecting washing machine, assembling your bed, or preparing the meal without "stuff". Softening the ground for a new rent-to-own startup? Poverty industry FTW.
This post is really bad but I like the idea of needing a special tool I inherited from my parents to change a light bulb
Ladder might be useful.
Stand on a chair? Unless you have wicked high ceilings I guess
Some halogen light fittings, particularly older ones, do actually require a special tool to remove the bulbs. Though it's not exactly an expensive tool.
