He didn’t know about programming the thermostat

No matter how more than 2 windows he opened or how more than 2 fans he turned on the indoor air temperature only got warmer.

Sometimes I just have to look at my guy and shake my head. Thank God he has pretty, because he has not necessarily the brightest bulb in the box. I appreciate him nevertheless, but there are times that I have to question what he has up to. This was absolutely the case when my buddy and I first moved in together and I realized that he had never operated a central Heating and Air Conditioning system before in his life. Let me be clear, I wouldn’t expect him to be a professional Heating and Air Conditioning serviceman or anything like that. I mean that he truly did not know how a thermostat controls the indoor air temperature. Apparently, his entire life his parents have been in charge of the indoor air temperature to the extent that he was unaware of a thermostat purpose. When my buddy and I moved in together, he kept meandering around and saying that he did not understand why the indoor air felt so bad. I would simply shrug and tell him to go ahead and adjust it if he thought it was an uncomfortable temperature. After more than 2 days of this back and forth, I wasn’t understanding why he was so frustrated with me. Finally he exploded and told me that he did not understand how he was supposed to change the indoor air temperature when it was so sizzling and humid outside. No matter how more than 2 windows he opened or how more than 2 fans he turned on the indoor air temperature only got warmer. That’s when I looked him dead in the eye and asked if he understood what a thermostat was. The sheer confusion on his face said it all. From that day forward, I taught him how a thermostat works and even how to program it. I have a lot of questions for his mom when I meet the in-laws.
