Addictive Behavior?

Would this be considered addictive behavior?

Riding around in a vehicle where I live this time of year is a lot more comfortable with a good air conditioner. I noticed a week or so ago that the comfort level was lacking a bit in the cooling department so, I phoned a buddy of mine who works on A/C systems.  He gave a quick diagnosis over the phone that the Freon level was probably low. So I head to the nearest parts store on a mission for a can of Freon, not the small one I probably didn’t need anyway but the big double sized 18 oz.  and proceeded to put this into the system with the hose and fitting provided. It really didn’t want to accept the whole can but I patiently kept at it until I had all 18 ounces in to the system. It was blowing colder air and so I thought the more I could get in the system, the colder it would be… and it was very cold….for a few minutes…..then, well, the air blowing from the A/C system was hotter than the air outside. I had more than a pound over the amount required for the system.  The compressor is ruined and now I need a new one! Oh and he said "probably just a little Freon"

So I guess this behavior plays a role in my life in more aspects than I thought.

And to those of you who are laughing…..you can stop….it is not a bit funny….I wonder if I can get any counseling for this? LOL!

So familiar..."if a little is good...MORE will be better"!!!!

Try draining the freon out if you can...let the compressor rest...and see what happens. It probably needs a detox...

In the mean time,keep a spray bottle of water in the car and drive with all windows down...
and the music LOUD!!

You could put a cool washcloth on your forehead and drive fast with the windows down?

You could also move to Minnesota.  We have some houses for sale in the Ghetto!!  You would have to fill out an application as we dont let just anyone move in here!!  lol
