My Grandparents are a lot odd than me.
Obviously they come from a odd generation, but they also have vastly odd practices when it comes to their own home, and for one, I do not wear my shoes in the condo anymore.
This is something I quit doing after I started renting my own studio property 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 plus my Grandparents telling me I was wasting their electricity. For once I could pay my own electricity bill plus worry about my own electricity usage. And this resulted in me taking ownership over my air conditioner use. I do not feel exhausting about using the air conditioner when I’m overheated or when there is a heat wave outside. It’s my electricity bill at the end of the afternoon plus I’m glad to use the air conditioner 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 air conditioner themselves. My Grandparents rarely use air conditioner at their house. But the funny thing about that is that both of my Grandparents insist on using the boiler even when it’s not certainly frosty outside. They’re kind of two-faced about Heating plus Air Conditioning use, where they bemoan using air conditioner on the one hand while insisting on abusing their boiler on the other.
