Women in the office...
...who turn the heating up without bothering to consult anybody, but scream blue murder and call you selfish when you try and turn it down a couple of degrees.

yeah, that sucks
fortunately as most people in my office are retarded I'm in charge of the heating/air conditioning, so when someone asks me to change it I walk over to it, prod it and leave it at the same setting

then they immediately go
"Ah, that's better" even though the heater's at the opposite side of the room?

I find that I leave it set to the same setting for a week
and every day the same people will complain of it being too hot or too cold, but fine after I've pretended to change it

Seems to be universal, that one
And lets not mention what happens if somebody else uses their mug for a cup of coffee... Fuck me...

you need Scottish co-workers instead ...
... coz they'll keep opening the windows, because it's "too warm" all the time (i.e. not freezing cold).

Unless you're already Scottish. Then you need some even more northerly cow orkers.

if it's in low double figures Celsius
it should be fine for anyone remotely northern.

Replace "Celsius" with "Kelvin" and it's appropriate for Geordies wearing t-shirts.

Replace "Celcius" with "Celsius"
and I'll put away the frying pan.

Useful tip
It is ILLEGAL to heat an indoor working environment above 19C. if it goes any warmer, the heat must be switched off until it goes lower. Wave that one around at them and make them wear clothes suitable for cold weather.

Got a link to the relevant statute?
It'd be handy to have.
