AC noise Addiction

Since last week I stopped using the AC in my room. Actually the temperature during night was fine without the AC but I kept using it because of the noises it made. Many people in Salalah and probably the rest of Oman  have an addiction of  the AC noises, that is they can't sleep well without hearing the sounds made by the AC especially the window AC. But it was for the chilly nights that we are having these days (since this is winter after all) that I decided to quit this addiction. It was simple to increase the temp or just adjust the settings to make it much warmer in the room and in the same time hear the beautiful sounds of a window AC however I thought that was a waste of electricity to just make it work  for the sake of its ugly addictive noise. So I had to be strong and decided that enough is enough, what if I moved to a place where there is no window AC, or that we decided to change the window ACs to split units that are famous for being so quite. Since then I have been thinking why do many of us get all sorts of addictions  like smoking, eating ..etc!
Why many sorts of behavioral addictions get unnoticed by the addicts!!
I try to be healthy and avoid most of the common sources of addiction like smoking.
Anyways I thank Panadol for its variety of medicine such as Panadol night ;) ..

  1. Dude, you post about the weirdest topics. I'm addicted to the sound of the AC obviously because I'm Dhofari. I tried so many times this week to turn it off but I can't!!! I have to switch it back on! The noise is addictive.

    When I travel, I suffer because most other countries don't have window ACs like Oman, and central air conditioning doesn't make noise either. Hotels are the worst.

    Ahh.... ACs. I even have the floor AC on in my office right now even though it's cold outside, but I need the noise, even at work.

    Life goes on.

  3. Ma7feef, you're just plain weird.

    You can sleep with or without noise, in or out of your bed, in and out of your home without any problem ... even on rocks and sofas :-)

  13. Ma7feef. You are arrogant. You yourself are the biggest Fandal.

    IHMD: I used to make potato bread. You just add mashed potatoes to the bread dough and it comes out of the over very moist and soft. If you pay me, I'll make you some.
