I live in Florida.
Florida has the luxury of being surrounded by redneck states, filled with cubans, being a hotspot tourist destination for pompous college kids wanting to see the beach, being hot as hell, and being one of the most rainy and humid states in the country.
Needless to say, every home in the state keeps the air conditioning on in every season except Winter and late Fall/Early Spring.
But, it's not only hot, it's
humid. This air we get is 90-100 degrees and saturated to the point of being a cloud almost all the time. Mid-Day can be so hot, and so humid, it makes it hard to breath, as if you're trying to inhale above a pot of boiling water just by walking outside.
At work, we have a heavy duty AC set-up that sucks air in from the outside, cools it, and pumps it through 5 big vents in the ceiling at various spots. Today, everyone was upset at how the vents were "leaking." The conversation went like this:
| Coworker | Man, all the vents are dripping. |
| That's condensation. |
| Coworker | Yeah, and it's leaking everywhere. |
| Manager | I've already called maintenance in about it. |
| You don't understand ... It's not leaking, it's condensation. The humidity in the air is turning to water when it touches the cold surface. The same thing happens to a glass of milk or something. |
| Manager | I pay good money for my AC and I don't need it condensatin' on us. |
