OK - I will be the one.

Flying at night an your alternator stops working. And you you put the airplane down while you still have fuel? Were you IFR and you found some VFR to put down in?

In your pre flight planning you knew you would be flying at night so you have a flashlight and you know the minimum safe altitude because you have the correct chart.

So now you fly to a lighted uncontrolled field and turn you radio back on to turn the lights on, or you do like I did and wait 30 minutes for someone else to turn them on.

Obviously, I was not there.

Am i the only one?
