God doesn't want me to have air conditioning

Thread Starter 
A few weeks ago my car's air conditioner motor burned out. Anyone who's ever gotten into a hot car in summer knows how sweltering they get, and now I can't do anything but deal with it and do as much night time driving as possible (no money to fix it, and my car will probably be dead in 2-3 years anyways). On top of this, I've got the old roll-up style windows, so I have to crank them up and down each time I get in and out of the car.

This past Sunday I started my summer job working at Target in the stock-room. The air-conditioning to the stock-room is ALSO dead. It doesn't get as hot as my car, but it certainly isn't comfortable, especially not in a red polo-shirt.

Today, my home A/C unit died. Ugh. Hopefully it'll be fixed by tomorrow but for tonight I am roughing it out with a fan.

I live in Florida, by the way.

My guess is that sometime in the future I'll be getting sent to Iraq and this is Yaweh's way of getting me ready now so I don't bitch so much later.

I still hate him for it, though. Why does everything fucking break in the summer?

Are you sure he's not just preparing you for hell?

Dude, Satan makes, like, $300,000 dollars a year. I'm willing to bet he's got a kick-ass A/C system.

Having a car is a headache, but luckily my car's air conditioning is working superbly. However, if it were to malfunction, be it the motor or needing to be charged, it'd be taken care of within three days. I live in southern Arizona and like Florida, air conditioning (or swamp coolers) are a way of life.

Yeah, but just think what he's gonna want in exchange for letting you into the only air cooled room in all of hell.

You live in Florida also? Get it fixed. Stat. I'll fix my A/C before I'd rotate the tires, change the oil, replace the battery, or fix a leak in the radiator. I may be stuck on the side of the road with a flat but DAMMIT I'm going to have air conditioning. Without it you can cook food on the dashboard in the middle of summer.

And your house A/C went out too? Christ. Move into your refrigerator, and pray that doesn't crap out.

Well, the house AC is getting fixed ASAP. I'd just as soon tough it out with my car than pay the money to fix it. If I open both front windows I get a good breeze going and it's not so bad.

AC Motor burnt out? Did you have that checked or making an assumption? If you haven't had your AC checked, then find a place. On my old VW Fox, I had thought I had a major AC problem and dealt with the Houston heat for 4 months before I finally broke down and had someone look at the unit. Repair cost me about $80 and an hour of my time. So it may only be a leak that needs to be repaired and then a freon charge. Less than $100 bucks and you'll be cool as ice.

I work in a hospital and if you know anything about the poorly funded Public Healthcare system we have in the UK you will understand this.

Every year they get air con orderd in in these huge machines that sit ether side off the office - yes they do make things cooler but at the expense of being able to hear anything anyone else says. These things look like you should be hooked up to them not have them cooling the office down.

My college Spanish teacher didn't have air conditioning at his house. He said sweating was good for you.

I went to school in Texas where it was common to have 120 degree summers. Most of the time it was a dry heat too.

Werbal, the Lamborgini brand is known for having some of the most awesome air conditioners of any car ever made. If you just get one of those, even a used Diablo, you should be fine.

Granted, I live in Ohio, but during the summer it does edge to the nineties with lots of fun humidity. Feel like you're walking through liquid air sometimes, it's fun.
However, I wish I didn't have A/C. I'm at home for the summer, and my dad keeps the house around 60 degrees. Middle of the summer, 87 something degrees outside, and I'm inside in a hoodie and sweats. Ridiculous. And it's not just my father. There's a conspiracy to freeze my ass off everywhere. The restaurants are positively arctic, the movie theaters should warn for blankets, and the mall is a lost cause. It's SUMMER! I went through all that misery for nine months already. It was awful. Gray, cold, slushy, my nose permanently looked like rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Now I get to wear shorts and tanks--but bring a sweater for whenever I go indoors!

That was my ranting for the day. Brought on by the fact that I am yet again freezing and also quite possibly failed my statistics test.

I'm sorry but...this one just makes me laugh.
It reminds me of a Scottish newspaper clipping I saw a couple of years back. It read "Temperatures Soar into the 70s!" That paper was from June...

I mean...seriously, just how hot does it get there?
