Logical solution: Eat something cold or turn on fan.
Their solution: Install air-conditioning.

You're logical solution is retarded.

Yeah AC comes to mind first when it's hot.

Well, we didn't have one at the time, so they had one installed. But, the dumb thing about it is that they bought a ?100 fan two days before that.

I am virtually always upstairs. For some reason, there's only A/C downstairs. But I don't tend to get hot quickly.

It's their money. They're doing what they want to with it.

Your particular purchases wouldn't likely be on their 'smart' list.

It's been a fair while ago I actually purchased anything. As previously stated, I'm saving for a new system.

midlife crisis?

my dad has money to spare, but for years hes been cheap AND tight, always.

a few months ago we noticed something was up when he paid $90 for a plastic mail-order trashcan, choosing this over something at walmrt or some such place for no appearent reason other than he could.

How would you like it if your parents told you that saving for a new computer was dumb and a waste of money?
