Sometimes people’s logic really hurts my brain.
Or, I should say their failed attempts at logic can be extremely frustrating and costly.
Recently, I’ve been very disappointed to read endless news stories about people trying to disinfect their bodies. I don’t understand how anyone could be this stupid, but then again, people amaze me. I was equally baffled the other day when I finally discovered the answer to a question I have been asking for a few months. Since we had moved into this house, I had been consistently inquiring with my roommates about how our energy bill was so sky high. I had never seen such an expensive electricity bill in my life, and we weren’t even in the most dramatic season yet. The air was still relatively cool outside, so we were barely using the HVAC system. In a few months, when summer humidity settled in, we would need to use the air conditioning system day in and day out. I was starting to panic, realizing how astronomical our energy bills would apparently be. The thing is, no matter how often I talked about the HVAC system and our energy expenses, my roomies never seemed concerned. In fact, one of them said that his electricity was always this expensive. A few weeks later, I stayed home from work and realized why our heating and cooling system was costing so much money. Every day when my roommate worked out, he cranked up the AC. He had the central air turned all the way down to 55 degrees for at least two hours a day. This moron was costing us hundreds of dollars a month in energy bills instead of just joining the gym down the street.
