My father never had a good relationship with the aircon; it’s a love hate relationship. He loathe the airconditioner’s existence. He says it’s too noisy and often says that it is, well, just anything but good. My aircon is very upset of course and yells at him all night. It must be the aircon’s way of getting back at my father. It’s been pretty successful and my father’s been pretty pissed.
Once in a while, he would come into my room to lament about the aircon. He thinks it’s our fault the aircon is too noisy. But yesterday he complained something new – the aircon is too cold.
What?!
Too cold? Er, correct me if I’m wrong, that’s what the aircon is for. If the aircon is somehow unable to be cold, then we shall have its existence, er, challenged. I think it’s good. Anyway, I went to his room and it is not that cold, it’s set to 25 degree celcius. I tune it to 26 and listen to him grumble and I went back into my room.
He blamed my brother and I for not setting our room aircons cold enough. He thinks that our aircon is not cold enough to absorb his aircon’s cold air. I think that’s absurd. Especially when our aircons are not sharing the same compressor unit. It’s funny because the previous time he complained that we set our temperatures too low.
So in the middle of the night, he armed himself with the vacuum cleaner and started vacuuming the airconditioner. I can see that he is really really pissed. But I really can’t help him – I just think his claims are too dumb. Nice try – but try harder.
[I mean come'on, what's next - the aircon being too soft and thus causing him not to sleep due to unfamiliar environment? Wake up... Oh, and he did.]
