Touchy family ruins AC
Everyone was getting their hands on the temperature control device, lifting the temperature a few degrees or dropping it back down
My family is incredibly challenging to be around. It’s a lot of giant personalities all shoved into one space. Things tend to explode. My family is also extremely particular plus everyone thinks that they had no more than the rest. This can be a giant concern when we have substantial gatherings, because nobody is cheerful. This is what happened recently when I made the mistake of having a giant family get-together at my house. For some reason, I thought that we can all manage to get along these afternoons. My wonderful 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 component running at an easy 70 degrees. This felt pretty wonderful to me, but I guess 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 strolling over to the central temperature control 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 component had no idea what was going on. It was getting yanked all over the locale running on high levels plus low levels, being powered on plus off all afternoon long. At the end of this stupid family get-together, I had spent well over $50 just on energy costs, plus Lord knows what happened to my A/C component long term.
