Why do old people have an aversion to AC? Every Sunday at my in-lawsā, they have their AC off. My MIL pridefully says āwell I grew up without AC, and we just donāt need it up hereā (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 āso are you gonna turn it on this summer?ā they were like āno, why would we do that?ā
And of course weāre sitting at dinner and the windows are all open and the fans are all blowing and itās stifling, humid, and 80°+ in their house, and my MILās face is all sweaty and Iām just like... why? You donāt have to set it for 65°, but at the very least turn it to 75° so itās not so goddamned oppressive.
