What does it mean if a lamppost goes out when I'm near it?

Question

So my girlfriend takes me home everynight and at the last intersection we have to go through we always get a red light, on the stop light on the right of me there's a lamp on top for extra light or whatever. But everytime my girlfriend and i pull up, the light goes out. We get a certain distance away everytime and the light turns back on. It's kind of a lame thing to ask about but i just wondered if anyone knew about this sort of thing. I think it's paranormal but i may be wrong. Any light on this subject is appreciated (no pun intended)

Answer 1

I get this all the time walking underneath lamposts too - also lights from freezers and fridges in the supermarket go out too.  It happened earlier with a large carpark outside light, which freaked out my friend when I told her I expected it to go off as it happens all the time - this prompted me to check this page out.  Glad my minds at rest now and I probably have a large electrical field.
