We have been in this house quit a while, and I recall always having
this problem.
We go through light bulbs like water. It is not uncommon for a light
bulb to last two or three weeks before I have to replace it again.
The bulbs always burn out right when the light switch is turned on. I
turn on the light switch, the light goes on for an instant, then burns
out. The bulbs don't ever burn out when the light has been on for a
while.
So, I really feel like there is something not right about the
electricity in the house, as strange as that sounds.
Any ideas?

Bulbs burn out when you first turn them because the cold filament allows
more juice to flow.
As others suggested it sounds like voltage is too high.
