Ill try to make this story as short as possible. I live in CT, and though its not unbearably hot here, it does get pretty uncomfortable.
My roomate and I live together in a 3 bedroom house. On the first unbearably hot day or the year (like 88-89 degrees) we didnt have AC yet, but it was cool the night before, so i opened all the windows, had window fans sucking cold air in, and when i woke up at like 8 i closed all the windows trapping the cool air inside.
My friend comes over at about 1 or 2 pm and comments to me how nice it is in my place compared to outside. We then went downstairs and were watching TV, when my idiot roomate opens the door to the basement, and yells, "why did you close all the windows and shut the blinds!?", i said um because its fucking 90 outside and its cool in here. HE then says its gonna be like a greenhouse and get hot, and we need to get a "cool breeze" in the place to keep it cold. He then goes on to open every fucking window in the place, and the temp goes from about 70 to 90 in a half hour.
He put his AC in the window the next day, and i thought this would solve the problem - because to any person with an eight of a brain knows - when your have the AC on - close the windows. At this point i havent put my AC in or gotten the one in the main living room in yet either. I hear him sleeping in his room with the AC on. He then turns it off and immediately opens the window (90 outside). I said what the hell are you doing? HE said i need to get FRESH AIR in here. I said WTF you just ran that thing for hours and now your letting all the cold out. He is just fucking stubborn and doesnt understand.
Ive tried to explain that if its hotter outside than it is inside - eventually the temps will be the same... I told him a "breeze" really doesnt change the temp at all, and only makes the house hotter quicker.
Hell look at the forecast and see temps in the 80's and say "oh great get to open the windows!" Fucking moron.
He works third shift, and right now ive got the AC blasting because he let it get to 81 inside here today. The house will be ~73 when he gets home and i know exactly what the moron is gonna do when he gets in at 7. Open all the windows and blinds.......
Ive tried to explain things logically and without yelling, but he just doesnt understand how heat works. I also pointed out how much fucking moisture hes letting in, and jesus christ is it humid right now in CT. Almost to a point where you cant breathe.
I think im gonna tell him im not paying the electric bill is he keeps doing this shit. Running the AC and then opening the windows is just wasting it. I dont know what else to do. Hes an ok guy besides that. Hes super OCD about stuff, but i can deal with that. I cant deal with having to lock myself in my room with the AC on because the house is 100 degrees.
