My Grandparents are a lot strange than me. Obviously they come from a strange generation, but they also have vastly strange practices when it comes to their own home; For one, I do not wear my shoes in the home anymore. This is something I quit doing after I started renting my own studio home for the first time. After I started mopping my own floors with shoes being worn in the house, I realized how disgusting the mop water was just after a afternoon of walking around. That’s in part why I quit doing that once I started to live on my own. But I also realized that I did not have to worry about my parents & my Grandparents telling me I was wasting their electricity. For once I could pay my own electricity bill & worry about my own electricity usage. And this resulted in me taking ownership over my cooling system use. I do not feel terrible about using the cooling system when I am moderate or when there’s a heat wave outside. It’s my electricity bill at the end of the afternoon & I am glad to use the cooling system even if it causes the bill to go up a little bit. I do not have to worry about my parents or my Grandparents complaining while they insist on never using the cooling system themselves. My Grandparents rarely use A/C at their house. But the funny thing about that is that both of my Grandparents insist on using the furnace even when it’s not identifiably cold outside. They’re kind of two-faced about Heating plus Air Conditioning use, where they bemoan using A/C on the one hand while insisting on abusing their boiler on the other.
