what's the deal with old people?

so, i'm on the elevator in my apartment building just now and a nice old lady gets on.

she, of course, mentions how hot it is today...(old people love talking about the weather. it's science)
i say "i know! isn't it great?!"
she says "no! give me winter anyday"
shocked, all i manage to say is "oh wow, really?!"
she confirms her statement and i exit the elevator, baffled.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

HOW COULD THIS BE?!

WINTER OVER SUMMER?!
OLD PEOPLE LOVE BEING HOT!!!

HOW COULD SOMEONE PREFER WINTER?!

my mind is blown.

if you've ever been in my apartment during the winter months, you know what i'm talking about.
it's absurd.

i don't even have my heat on when it's -40 outside because the oldies have their thermostats cranked to the max...and it's STILL too hot! i've got fans going, windows open...yeah...ridiculous.

you'd figure they'd be in their glory during the summer.
i was almost certain old people kept their heat on in the summer to maximize the heat potential, because they love it so much.

guess i was wrong?

ok, let's recap:
old people love heat when it's cold, and cold when it's hot, but they want it to be cold so they can be hot?

i guess i'll never understand...

back to the drawing board.
