Last week, my partner & I were in the grocery store. Every one of us were back by the frozen foods part when I heard the most obnoxious noise of my life. My partner told myself and others it was the HVAC compressor. He looked up at the ceiling & said that if someone were to disinfect the air vents, it would have prevented the AC unit from getting so bad. I looked up & saw the dust & dirt hanging out of the air vent & cringed. It was hanging over the meat section. Instead of grabbing my groceries & leaving, I left the cart rest & walked out of the store. If they had air vents that nasty, where people could see, I hated to guess what else they weren’t doing in the store. Ever since my partner became an HVAC company, I have shuddered whenever he said he wanted to go anywhere with me. He is always listening to the sounds of the HVAC system & telling myself and others what is wrong with them. He points out dirty air vents when I don’t want to guess about how disgusting the place may be. Two weeks ago, the people I was with and I were in a eating establishment that used to be a single of my number ones. I can’t go there anymore. All I can picture is the dirty air vents & smell the air that was coming out of them. My partner has ruined myself and others for most eating establishments, & now he is doing the same with grocery stores. If he doesn’t learn to curb his enthusiasm for HVAC diagnosis, I won’t be going anywhere with him.
