#wasting electricity

[bgb16999]

Me: The air conditioning in my apartment doesn't turn off, even when the heat is turned on. I can turn it up or down, but when it is switched "off," it continues blowing a stream of cold air. I don't really mind the temperature (I can still make it warmer by turning the heat up), but it's a waste of energy to have it running continuously when it is already plenty cold, and it's raking up my electricity bill to have the AC and heat running simultaneously.

Apartment Maintenance: Well, you have heat, and you have AC, and we aren't paying for your electricity, so there's no problem!

Me: Yes, there's a problem, the AC temperature controls are broken.

Apartment Maintenance: Well, we'll fix it at some point, but it's low priority since it's only costing YOU money.

Me: It's been 3 f#@$ing months! When are you going to get the AC in my apartment to turn the f*^# off?!?

Apartment Maintenance: Okay, we installed a new thermostat dial in your apartment!

Me: Oh, you mean the thermostat that controls the heat but NOT the AC? That doesn't help. I still can't turn the AC off, and it's still wasting energy.

Apartment Maintenance: Ooh, here's an idea: we can put a plastic cover on top of your AC unit. That way you won't be able to reach the dials to control it at all. Problem solved!

Me: No, don't do that. Just make it stop wasting energy.

Apartment Maintenance: Okay, will look at it today.

Me: Good, I'm going to go grade an exam.

Apartment Maintenance: Good news! We installed a cover over your AC unit so it can't be used at all but will continue to burn energy!

I'm in a room that's not my room, in a bed that's not my bed. It's so stuffy in here and I'm so tired that my mind is going crazy and I've convinced myself that if I sleep ill die and all that makes me happy is this light being on

Roommate vent sesh

My roommate does this annoying thing where she turns the TV on then leaves the room. Or where she turns the TV on then plays YouTube videos really loudly on her laptop. Or where she turns the TV on then leaves it on until 4 am to the point where I have to unplug the damn thing every single night in order to sleep.

Why must the TV always be on? She never even watches it after she turns it on. My pet peeve.

A light in a house is never turned off

A light in a house is never turned off

It illuminates rooms that go unused

Its electric glow warms no one

A light in a house is paid for by a man's work

He pays to leave it on

He owes no one

He has earned this

He owns this light
