Sometimes I have to be careful about what I say to my girlfriend.
As much as I love her, she really takes things overboard sometimes.
You can give her the smallest idea and watch it snowball into a massive life overhaul in a matter of weeks. Even though I know this about her, I still make the mistake of speaking freely about things that will have long-term ramifications from time to time. This is exactly what happened when I started growing concerned with our indoor air quality and poorly managed indoor air temperature control system. For as long as we have lived in this house the indoor air temperature has been unpredictable, at best. Sometimes the central heating and cooling system seems like it works just fine and sometimes the air handling devices will really throw you for a loop. I told my girlfriend that the hot and cold temperature fluctuations were starting to bother me, as was the perpetually stale smell in the air. I really wanted to be able to open the windows and let in some fresh air to reset our unfortunate air quality. Of course, I never should have said such things to my lady. All of a sudden, she became obsessed with indoor air quality and fresh air in our home. The next thing that I knew, there was a massive box sitting on our front doorstep one day. My girlfriend had purchased a bulk pack of 100 air filters to theoretically help with the indoor air pollution problem. They aren’t even the right size. I should have known better than to recklessly mention our indoor air quality.
