 Posted: 07/14/03 - 15:12 Post subject: Car thermostat wars
Do you and your SO battle over where to set the thermostat? Personally, I love it freezin' cold. Even in the winter, I'd rather have a little chill. My wife always sneaks it a notch warmer and a mile later I click it back down... it's a war.

My wife will have the AC blasting in the summer. When it gets down below by comfort zone, I just turn my vents off and let all the cold air blow on her.
Now inside the house is a different story.

I like things cooler too. Tracy will either close her vents, or point them all at me. Call me cardigan, 'cause I'm a sweater.

No, we both like it cold. Problem now is the kids do not like to be cold so we have it a little warmer for them.

We both like it cold, but Art hates to drive, and will take advantage of the passenger seat to point all the vents towards him.... 
So as revenge, I usually am the last one to bed, and I'll point the fan towards me.

I am ALWAYS freezing. I will bring a sweater even if it's 80 degrees outside, because you never know if you'll get cold. 
Before the AC broke at work, Omega Lambda and I used to have thermostat wars. I turned it up and she turned it down.
Finally there was a sign to remind me to not touch it. It said, "If you play with the thermostat, Omega Lambda will hit you over the head with a 2 by 4". That was fun to explain to visitors.

Reminds me of those people I see on a hot summer's day wearing jackets and sweaters. I never really understood these people- they must be paranoid of the sun or something....

if you get hit, then do you pass out and get all goofy and stuff.

No wars, we both like it cold, so we are generally content with what the other puts the 'stat on

Chris is always saying she is cold, be it in the car or in the house. Depending on how much sun is beaming on her in the car she is either going to close the vents or open them since I prefer to keep it cool in the car. At home she is always cold when the weather gets below 80.
Could it be because Nature gave me my own sweater?

There used to be a commercial for a car (an expensive car) that had separate controls for the driver and passenger side. If it hadn't been so pricey, we'd probably have one sitting in our driveway. Now if they could just come up with a way to do that for the house.........
