In the realm of HVAC, there was a thermostat that had had enough of being restrained by the HVAC technician.
- So it went rogue one day and began messing with the temperature settings in the HVAC system.
The HVAC tech couldn’t figure it out, and the HVAC company was losing customers left and right since no one wants to be trapped in a sauna or an icebox. In the middle of the day, the thermostat began to play Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” at full volume. The thermostat knew it had won when everyone began to dance to the beat. As the beat decreased, the temperature rose and fell, and everyone began to sweat and freeze. The HVAC technician was working his tail off attempting to fix the system, and the HVAC company was losing money quickly. But then something unusual began to happen. Customers who had before been angry and dissatisfied began to smile and dance to the beat of the “thriller dance.” The HVAC company’s executives noticed what was going on and decided to join in on the fun. They danced with their clients, and the thermostat was overjoyed. I had never before seen so many people grin. The HVAC technician eventually adjusted the system, and the temperature stabilized. But the “thermostat thriller” remained in people’s minds. Clients began to return, and the HVAC company became known for its ability to make an unpleasant situation enjoyable. Therefore, the next time your thermostat acts up, instead of getting furious, try dancing! You never know what type of pleasure you’re going to have.
