- equalunique 9y agoThis I would agree with. Actually, having grown up in Florida, it really irks me when I go up north and stay in households during the summer. It seems like Floridians take air conditioning seriously, whereas northerners don't see it as a priority. Growing up in a hot place and always wanting to be in a cool place, sometimes it's just odd living with people who grew up in colder places that yearn for warmth.
