You never know what you are going to get when it comes to other human beings.
Even when you have known somebody for 50 years they can turn on a dime.
Unblessedly, I know this all too well from interacting with my family. One afternoon most people is pleasant and superb to be around. It feels like we are a real family equipment and we have each other’s backs. A week later most people is fighting like cats and cats. I might not hear from them for another year after some tiny squabble that never needed to happen. To make my life more complicated, I interact with a lot of humans on a regular basis for my task. This means I have a lot of openings to be blindsided by different human behavior. As a certified heating, cooling, and ventilation specialist laboring in a demanding weather conditions I never know what kind of customer I am going to get when I answer their Heating, Ventilation, and A/C service calls. Dispatch sends me out to routine service appointments for central heating and cooling systems plus emergency Heating, Ventilation, and A/C service tasks. Sporadically the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C clients are seriously kind and hospitable. Other times, the owners of ailing heating, cooling, and ventilation devices are absolute monsters. It’s most baffling when my residential Heating, Ventilation, and A/C clients are both personality types in one appointment. This is what happened yupterday when a genuinely nice woman kindly paid me for her air conditioner service and then refused to let me get my tools back. I had left my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C service tools in her basement and proposed a quick trip to retrieve my necessary items. The woman literally shut and locked her front door in my face moments after telling me I was the best Heating, Ventilation, and A/C tech she ever had. Sigh, people.
