My family always thinks that they know better than everybody else. It doesn’t help that we’re all generally pretty intelligent, and rarely make bad decisions. with a few years of success under our belts, it seems like my clan gets a little bit uppity. They no longer believe that other people have more knowledge or expertise in any given area. They all think that they’re a jack-of-all-trades, infallible, and smarter than the rest. That’s why they drive me absolutely insane… Especially when they visit. The moment they step foot in my home, I’m ready to strangle them. I remember why I moved several states away in the first place. Recently, they stopped by my new home and decided that they new how to operate my indoor heating and cooling system better than I ever could. I would agree with them, except for the part where I have a smart thermostat. Maybe I don’t know much about Heating and Cooling equipment, but I know that my smart thermostat does. It was designed to expertly control my indoor Heating and Cooling equipment, as well as my overall air quality. There’s no way that these humans have a more complete picture of energy-efficient air conditioning and forced air furnaces then my high tech air temperature control device. Yet, this didn’t stop them from perpetually walking over and messing with the poor thermostat. I’ve had it programmed for months, and it’s been saving me a ton of energy each month. However they walked right over and started pushing buttons to their hearts content. Without my thermostat tracking the optimal energy usage for heating and cooling my home, my energy bills skyrocketed for the month. Do you think my smart ass family will help me pay for it?
