Why do old people have an aversion to AC? Every Sunday at my in-laws’, they have their AC off. My MIL pridefully says “well I grew up without AC, and we just don’t need it up here” (here = UP of Michigan).
They had someone out to install a new pellet stove and they checked that the AC worked, and it did, and when I asked “so are you gonna turn it on this summer?” they were like “no, why would we do that?”
And of course we’re sitting at dinner and the windows are all open and the fans are all blowing and it’s stifling, humid, and 80°+ in their house, and my MIL’s face is all sweaty and I’m just like... why? You don’t have to set it for 65°, but at the very least turn it to 75° so it’s not so goddamned oppressive.
