I kind of don’t like to admit it, although I am a bit picky over the control unit.
It doesn’t matter who it is, I absolutely don’t like the temperature being adjusted without our knowing.
I guess I got this from our dad, who was also overprotective over the control unit. Except she would take it to extremes. I would sometimes wake up at evening to find him in the hallway, next to the control unit smoking and eyeing anyone who passed by. I ended up taking after him in this regard, and this had caused some concerns with our family members. Once when our sister stayed over, she was chilly one evening and turned up the control unit. I woke up from a deep sleep because I could just assume the temperature change, that’s how much it bothered me. Since she was staying in our house, she would have to adjust to our number one hot and cold temperatures. When I met our new wife, I was somewhat distraught about her reaction to our protectiveness over the heating and a/c control unit. Thankfully for me, she couldn’t care less about whatever the temperature was. So I was able to rest assured that the control unit was not going to be messed with. I absolutely became protective over the control unit when I upgraded to a smart control unit. I was able to lock the heating and control unit, and so I was the only one who was able to access it. Whenever our wife and I have kids, this feature comes in handy to prevent prying hands from adjusting the temperature.
