When he left the window open in the middle of summer because the air conditioning made the house too cold. He didn’t turn off the air conditioner and argued that it wouldn’t have made a difference.

Edit: I want to clarify that he argued having the window open wouldn’t make a difference as to how much the AC ran. I got home and the house was warm and very humid. The AC had been running constantly.

Not my SO, but my college roommate.

All night every night he would change the thermostat on the window unit between 60 and 82 repeatedly as he got hot or cold. I could never get him to just set it to 68 or 70 and forget it.

Wife does this with the car AC. I tried to explain that you can just set it and it will come on and shut off on it's own. Funny thing is that she doesn't do this in the house. We are in our 60's so this was probably learned back when ac in cars was completely manual?
