Touchy family ruins AC
My family is incredibly challenging to be around.
It’s a lot of large personalities all shoved into one space.
Things tend to explode. My family is also extremely identifiable plus everyone thinks that they had no more than the rest. This can be a large concern when my good friend and I have large gatherings, because nobody is blissful. This is what happened recently when I made the mistake of having a large family party at my house. For some reason, I thought that my good friend and I can all manage to get along these nights. My friend and I are, after all, adults now. What I did not plan on was my entire family having diverse air temperature preferences in my house. Sure, it’s Summer time so the outdoor air is pretty hot. That’s why I had the A/C unit running at an easy 68 degrees. This felt pretty good to me, however I believe it wasn’t suiting the needs of the rest of my family. Not that they could reach an agreement among themselves. Instead, every member of the family took a turn on sauntering over to the central control unit plus playing with the dials for a while. Everyone was getting their hands on the temperature control device, lifting the temperature a few degrees or dropping it back down. My A/C unit had no idea what was going on. It was getting yanked all over the location running on high levels plus low levels, being powered on plus off all day long. At the end of this stupid family party, I had spent well over $50 just on energy bills, plus Lord knows what happened to my A/C unit long term.
