Unless living in an extreme location like Death Valley or the Sahara Desert, there should never be a need for someone in a house or apartment to use the heat and air conditioning in the same day. If it cools down at night and early morning, you should know it will warm up quickly later in the day, so just deal with the few degrees of being below you optimal temperature rather than waste energy heating up the house, only to have it too hot later. Same goes in the other direction when one could use natural cooling at night to cool down the house rather than use the A/C for maybe a brief period where the temperature is slightly above the optimal temp.

#432: Kid Going to College Signs
It's common to see people with signs on their front lawn proclaiming their kid graduating from highschool with class of 'xx signs, which is fine, but today saw one bragging about their kid going to a college. And not even a very prestigious one, St. Mary's. To me, that is some shameful boasting that is just about free advertising for the college which is duping the parents. Severity: 3

#431: Stockpiling of Bottled Water During Pandemic
During the pandemic, whenever stockpiling occurs, people are including bottled water in crazy amounts in their panic buying. This is despite there being no danger to the water supply from the virus so there is no reason for people wasting money and creating excess trash buy stocking up on this product, especially given people are not even going anywhere. Foolishness. Severity: 4
