I’m not that sort of person who enjoys judging others.
I understand that there are a lot of difficult life circumstances that everybody has to overcome. You can’t take a glimpse at someone’s life and assume that you understand every metric. This is why I have a difficult time when my family starts talking trash about our friends and neighbors. I don’t think it’s any of our business how they live or what they do with their money. But I will tell you, I think my family had a good point when they mentioned our neighbor’s horrible indoor air quality. I personally have not been inside of the guy’s house before, but apparently heating, cooling, and air quality control technicians have not been allowed on the premises, either. My brother said that last time he walked into the guy’s house, the indoor air quality was putrid. It felt like there was zero circulation and he was breathing in the fumes of a dumpster. He had wondered about the quality of the indoor air handling equipment and tried to politely ask our neighbor about his HVAC maintenance schedule. Apparently, the guy had no idea that heating and cooling equipment needed routine inspection, diagnostics, and cleanings. This is when my brother lost his mind about the heating and cooling equipment. He assumed that everybody was aware of the responsibilities necessary for an indoor air quality control system to continue operating in working order. He came right home and started dishing to my mom. Let me tell you, I don’t know why they care about this dude’s indoor air quality… but I’m concerned about his monthly energy bills.
