Why is it that "turn the freaking DVD player off after watching a movie" seems to be a skill that only I, among the many people I know, possess?

I tend to switch things off when I've finished with them. Admittedly, this is a result of growing up in a household where my mother couldn't stand having the television left on (or the radio, or indeed anything else). We learned to switch things off in deference to Mum's desire for peace and quiet - if she didn't get it, she made sure we didn't either.
