When five people are reaching for thick pajamas and extra blankets during summer, finding a comfortable compromise with the AC can become a challenge. 

I totally understand that the heat can become unbearable. By the end of August, we are tired of it and want to find a solution to it as soon as possible. But no matter our best efforts, the heat is not going anywhere just yet, so we have to wait. And that’s it. Now, having a whole discussion with your roommates about the AC during these last weeks of heat… it doesn’t make any sense to me.

According to the story shared in r/badroommates, this roommate cannot cope with the heat and the sun anymore and decided to set the temperature of the AC below the 65ºF every single day and every single night. She says this affects her «bodily autonomy,» left no room for hesitation or discussion, and claimed the AC was going to be set like this.

But… the other girls are freezing every night. They even had to take out their winter pajamas and thick blankets because they are very cold.

This is not the only problem. The other girl told this woman to get a fan and put it in her room so they can set the AC to a better temperature, but she says the fan is expensive and she cannot afford it… Yet the power bill has gone up like crazy after adjusting the AC. Man, it’s a very complicated situation, and the woman doesn’t seem like she wants to cooperate and find a solution.

The good thing is that we’re almost at the end of summer, so there’s not too much time left. I do think, though, that they will need to find a new solution for next year. Having to use a thick pyjama and big blankets during a heatwave is not normal, and the body can suffer a lot because of this. But I guess the other girl likes it like this…
