Sometimes I’m amazed by the people my age in the stupid things that they do.
Clearly, a lot of them have not had to support themselves in the past or be very mindful of their own finances.
A lot of them haven’t figured out very basic things like how to grocery shop, how to take care of indoor appliances, or how to keep mold and mildew from completely overthrowing your indoor space. This was the case when it came to my recent roommate who completely destroyed our apartment while I was gone thanks to muggy indoor air and ignorance of overhead ventilation fans. I guess that my roommate had started listening to a podcast where they recommended opening your windows for a certain amount of time every day, even in the middle of a hot and humid summer. They said it was critical to get fresh air into your home, and enjoy natural ventilation for the sake of your respiratory house. Of course, my stupid roommate believes that this was true and began opening our windows even though the air conditioning system was running. At the same time, she would often go take a shower to start her day. Apparently, besides having no understanding of how central AC systems work, she also didn’t know how overhead ventilation fans work in a bathroom. She never turned on the powerful bathroom ventilation system while she was taking a hot and steamy shower in our hot and steamy apartment. As a result, she managed to foster the growth of a field of dark mildew and mold. When I got back into town after two weeks visiting my parents, I found a biomedical disaster waiting for me. Not to mention the terrible energy bill that she created.
