My kitchen has 4 different lights in it, and often a random one will be on.

One light is on a 3 way switch with a switch at either entrance, if I hit that switch (then realize I turned on an extra light, instead of turning off one of the other lights) and turn it back off within 2.5 seconds then it will turn off and other of the the lights in the kitchen that happen to be on.

Every time I accidentally trigger this automation it makes me smile because it's silly

Thanks for that. You reminded me of something similar I posted here.
