Today, my grandpa moved into the house to live with my family. Along with having to share a room with him, he swears that having the AC on will give him pneumonia, and he keeps saying he's "freezing" when the temperature inside gets below 85. We live in Nevada. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was visiting my grandmother's house. She keeps the thermostat on 85 and after about 30 minutes I explained to her that, "I'm going to have to leave, it's just too hot in here." She replied, "You think it's hot in here, wait until you get to hell." I laughed. She didn't. FML
Today, my granddad had to start sleeping in my bedroom. He has flashback dreams to when he was a boxer, and he's already lamped my granny three times in his sleep. I get a camp-bed, and the chance to listen to him snore like a wild boar. FML
Today, we're having my grandmother over. Because we don't have a guest room, she is sleeping in mine. It is 25°C at night and she is sleeping naked with her dog right next to me. FML
Today, my bedroom in my gran's house gets the most sun in the evenings. There is no AC, not even a fan, and the only place cool enough to sleep is the basement. Which probably hasn’t been cleaned since the '80s, and I have to share it with the biggest spider ever and a beehive in the roller shutter casing. FML
Today, my grandpa came into my room and asked for a pen. As I gave it to him, he let rip the foulest fart I've ever smelled in my life, and walked out without a word. 2 hours later, the smell is not only still there, it's filled the room. Looks like I'm sleeping downstairs on the couch tonight. FML
Today, I visited my mom because I don't see her much due to her living 30 minutes away from me. They just recently fixed their AC. A few hours before I was about to leave, it broke again. I tried to be patient but it heated up to over 80 degrees inside, and I'm really sensitive to heat. Thankfully they weren't offended. FML
Today, on the brink of a stiflingly hot summer, I've come to a terrible realisation. It seems the apartment I've just moved into has been specially insulated to trap enough heat inside for the occupants to survive the planet's next Ice Age. FML
Today, my uncle called me at work, telling me to rush him to the doctor's. I get home and he doesn't"t want to go anywhere. He says he has the chills, so I turn on the furnace. Next he says he's too hot, and stripped to his underwear. I ask him to let me take him to doctor. He does nothing. Work is expecting me to bring a doctor's note tomorrow. FML
Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML
Today, my parents moved my senile grandpa in with us, but he keeps yelling at me for gaming and sometimes just switches my computer off. This is my house, not theirs. I work remotely, I’m not gaming, and their unemployed asses can’t even watch him closely enough to keep him out of my home office. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not how families work. Discussion, reason, and compromises are all myths.

Wrap grandpa in extra blankets at bed time and dress him in a heavy coat during the day. If that doesn't help lock him in the closet!!!!

Old people have less tolerance to change of temperature than young people do for the simple reason that their bodies are not as strong as before. This is why you see so many of them carefully wrapped up when you'd be without a jacket. However he is right on one thing, AC is unhealthy, it's just sending around germs and people in the US are way too obsessed with it. They'd put it on full blast the second the temperature rises above 70F. When I was in college there, it was 95F outside in August and I swear no more than 60F in the buildings. I remember on my first class rubbing my feet against each other to warm them up as I was wearing sandals and hugging my light jacket because I was so cold. I caught a bad sore throat whithin the first 2 weeks.

That sucks. Buy him a heating blanket and some reusable hand warmers. Some long johns and wool socks too.

Stop being such a wuss! Where I live, it can vary from about 4 degrees C (40 degrees F) in winter to up to and sometimes over 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) I think you'll live.

My question is why did they move grandpa into a room with their daughter?

Who said OP was a girl?

The fact that it says 'Anonymous (woman)' on the original post?

Your grandpa is crazy! I live in Vegas and can't have my air above 80 without getting sweaty

I wouldn't complain that your grandparent is living with you. My grandfather has had three heart attacks and triple bypass surgery, I'd give anything for him to be healthy and living in my house and not in icu in a coma.
