I love my grandpa but..

I have been living with him and this summer it has been especially hot and he refuses to put on the AC. Of course I've tried all I can to keep cool I have a fan, I always drink cold water and even wear literally nothing. But it is still so hot.. and it causes other problems like none of my friends want to hang out at my place or when he has his friends over I have to be careful leaving my room because his friends will see me basically wearing nothing and it is impossible to sleep at night.

idk how to convince him to turn on the AC.

Take over responsibility for paying the hydro bill.

@MarkPaul It's astonishing how often people imagine human relationship problems can be solved with technical or financial tweakery.

@ffony Well, it's even more amazing that entitled people who think they should dictate how things should be, tend to not want to take any financial responsibility for their interests and desires and then all the other entitled people in the community literally come out of the woodwork and want to go on to defend the entitled people and wonder when the cinema will be playing a film of their entitled lives.

Obviously, the grandfather is paying the bills and yet the girl wants to call the shots. In polite society, we call that entitled behaviour.

Do you have a real person in mind when you say this or are you just - you know, fishing?

@ffony Yes, I have real people in mind. Are you suggesting you don't know entitled people, never heard of entitled people, or can't conceive people being entitled? Or, are you... you know... in denial?

@MarkPaul

Are you suggesting

No - just asking if you actually know the people you're criticizing. But don't worry; it's really of no account.

@ffony Question answered. Objection over-ruled. Suspicion confirmed. On your way, lil bro.
