I grabbed the screwdriver and popped the cover off
About a year ago when I first moved into my co-workers house, I really didn’t have any right to voice any complaints. I was just so grateful to have a roof to sleep under, so I kept my mouth shut about every other detail. I figured, if I was indoors and had a bed to sleep in, everything else was unimportant. I really didn’t mind the lack of space or the abundance of pet hair in the air. I just felt so grateful, and didn’t say a word about the uncomfortable aspects of the new situation. However, as time wore on, I’ve noticed a few things that have continued to annoy me. First of all, I’ve wondered this entire time why my bedroom felt so hot and humid. At night, I had trouble sleeping and due to the heat and humidity in my space. The air vent was unblocked by furniture and I positioned the slats to be completely open, however, it still seemed like I received a minimal air conditioning. I never wanted to complain about the thermostat settings, so I started purchasing box fans to sleep at night. One day, I was bending down near the air vent when I noticed something strange just behind the metal grate. I grabbed the screwdriver and popped the cover off. When I placed my hand inside, I yanked it back in disgust with a scream. It was clear now why my room felt so hot and stagnant every day; the air vent was entirely clogged with pet hair.
