Current Events > My roommates literally leave the AC on the entire fucking day nonstop

(+) Yeah! (+)

I live in a 5 person suite, theres the living room that we all share, and then theres 2 doubles and 2 singles. The singles share a thermostat with the double that they're next to, and the actual thermostat is in the double's room so the person in the single (which I have) has to deal with whatever fucking temperature the people in the double leave it on.

And my roommates have the AC on all. fucking. day. no matter what.

I really don't understand how someone can live that way purposefully. Its so cold in my room that my iPhone's battery just shuts off all the time because its too cold, the only other time that happens is in the Winter time when I'm outside, so I have to leave it plugged in just to use my phone in my own room. And its not even like its hot outside or anything, its been consistently in the mid to low 60s the past couple of weeks.

The first 2 weeks of school I wasn't in my room much at all, I was pretty much only there to sleep so I didn't think too much of it or I guess I wasn't there long enough to notice as much, but I've had a lot of homework recently so I've been in my room a lot more the past couple of days and I'm in here dying. I already have seasonal allergies so I have a cold all the time, but this is making it even worse. I haven't said anything yet because I don't want to be that jerk roommate thats a dick over stuff like this but now I'm upset to the point where I'm ready to curse someone out because I know they were also in their room most of the day today, I really don't understand how the fuck you can have the AC blasting like this all day because I don't see how its on anything but the highest setting. Maybe they don't know we share AC systems, but what the hell do you think those 2 big ass vents are for? Tomorrow if its like this again, I'm most definitely saying something.

Am I in the wrong here CE?

If you haven't said anything yet, then they can't be in the wrong, cause they don't know.

Just ask em, hey would you mind shutting the AC off for a bit? You can't really get mad at people if you haven't said anything.

Why don't you just close the vents

Yeah I said I'm upset but I don't really plan on saying anything other then what you said here unless they say no or something

The vent doesn't close, I've also tried buying vent covers but none of them work

Sweaters exist for a reason.. Like, if you are cold, put on more clothes. Crying isn't going to make you warmer.

I know you're trolling but I actually have been wearing a hoodie or my jacket in my room and I'm still cold. Like I was saying before the AC has been at the very least a lot colder than the temperature outside and its like in the mid 60s outside, so it has got to be somewhere in the 50s or lower in my room

Yeah I'm just going to end up taping some cardboard over it or something idk, but I kind also of feel like why should I even have to do all of that? The temperature the AC has been at is more than unreasonable

No, i'm not trolling at all. I grew up in the north and my family during the winter kept the house at 57 to lower energy costs. We didn't come online to complain about it, we put on layers and sucked it up. It's how we got by.

Point being, CE isn't going to help you, more clothes will.

Where are you from? In Ohio its been consistently in the 60s recently

Just ask them to turn it down. I'm sure it won't be an issue.

I'm calling bullshit on the iPhone turning off though. Even with AC at maximum capacity on I doubt your room is below 50 degrees. No way would that shut your iPhone off unless you have the shittiest iPhone ever.

I'm not lying my room is pretty small dude, I'm in a dorm room it gets cold pretty quickly in here.

Just put a phone book over the vent, not that hard

Wear multiple layers.
