Mike, you neglected left-handed lightbulb changers. Additionally you did not state wether the lightbulb was this a quickee lightbulb change or one done tastefully and held as a fine example of the art. Please be specific in your post.

And in the UK they are asking "what the flippin heck is 'e on 'bout? Screwin' in a lightbulb!"
Lightbulbs there are a bayonet mount just push down and give a quarter turn. Done!
A most illuminating thread.
