Bulbs frequently out

I've never owned a car that has had so many light bulb problems. The
"bulb out" light on the dash comes on at least once a month it seems.

Though I've replaced the headlamps and some others, it's usually the right rear corner bulb. I've replaced it probably 4 times in the last 2 years. Last night, it was the left brake light (not the one when you actually brake, but the one that lights up when the headlights are on). That light has never been a problem in the 2 1/2 years I've owned this car. When I barely touched the bulb, it started working again, and all is well.

What is up with this? I don't like driving cars with warning lights on all the time. I doubt the fuse could be in question, but I'll check it. I'd probably put new fuses in 2 years ago anyways.

Thanks.
