    I have nothing to contribute, but I wanted to complain about my coworkers. They under dress for how chilly the office is kept (76F, which really isn’t chilly) then they blast personal space heaters in their offices while the AC is on. I think it would be fine keeping it on 78 if we had ceiling fans, but for whatever reason I never see those in offices

      Okay, that’s more than just mildly irritating. That’s massively irritating.

        That still doesn’t excuse that level of wastefulness whatsoever. Oh no, a mild inconvenience!

            I don’t disagree entirely but removing clothing stops being an option at some point and if I’m expected to get work done I’ll be far better at it if the temperature isn’t making me miserable

              You still don’t need to turn the AC up to the point where some people start freezing.

              IMHO, it’s not the slightest bit unreasonable to just expect everybody in the office to be able to deal with any temperature between 20C (68F) and 24C (75F) without complaining.

      Why are US-Americans so stubborn when it comes to metric units? Use ur crappy units in ur country if u like, but on the Internet, most people are NOT from the US and therefore ur numbers mean shit all to us.

        Maybe you haven’t been on the internet for a very long time, but for the majority of the early internet it was vastly more populous with Americans on most major websites. Also, wouldn’t you simply expect people to use the units that they personally are more comfortable with? Also fuck off with your high horse. I agree with skooma_king that your sad spelling is much worse.
