WIBU to ask the woman in the flat below to turn her heating off?

[MammaTJ]

Of course I would, so I am not going to. BUT, I flat share in the city I go to uni in. Wonderful flat mate, beautiful flat and quite cheap. We both enjoy not having to put the heating on, due to heat rising and us being toastie even in the coldest weather.

Tonight is not cold though and I am sweletering in the heat. I do not have the heating on. I can see the smoke/steam or whatever it is, coming from downstairs flats central heating, so she clearly has hers on. I am now sat with the balcony door open, trying to cool down a little.

I wonder is she is ill, to have the heating on when it isn't even cold.

Maybe she's just the kind of person that's usually cold like I am.

I think the pros and money u save from not having to have your heating on far outweigh the con of having to have your windows open!

Also where are you? It's November and bloody freezing here!

Where do you live that it is warm enough to have the door open?! I am in Oxfordshire and it is currently 1C!! Some people just have different ideas of what is cold.

WIBU to build a basement and try to rent it out to her?

Plymouth, it is quite mild here tonight! I have just been out on the balcony to cool down some more.

Hahaha.

Yeah. First world problems I think!

No you can't ask her to turn it down.
You have a problem most people would envy.

Just open the windows and wear short sleeves.

Sounds like a stealth boast - how lovely for you to have a warm flat without paying for it. YABU

naked tuesday here you come!

That is a brilliant problem to have!

I'd relish being allowed to have patio doors open on someone else's heating bill. I hate that I keep having to shut them, I need the fresh air and the heat.

First world problems I think! Most certainly!

You have a problem most people would envy. Me, in my detached 'real' home, I envy me here right now!

You're lucky! The odd night of being too warm is a small price to pay - the weather will soon be cooling down :)

Our last house was a mid terrace and we were toasty warm, barely put more than one radiator on, and were in credit with Npower when we left!

Different story in the new house. It's a nicer house, but much harder to keep warm!

naked tuesday here you come! Hmm, pretty sure my flatmate would not appreciate that! He did text me the other week to find out when I was coming down as he had to find out when he had to stop running aroung the flat naked! I think these standards need to be maintained!

A warm flat without having to heat it and a balcony. You don't know you're born. It is going down to -2 tonight with wintry showers here in not to sunny Yorkshire, so just count yourself lucky.

She's probably only so cold because 90% of the heating she's paying for is rising up into your flat. She needs better insulation methinks.

Saucy, she probably does!

That sounds awful, I couldn't live like that. I'm sure most of you are jealous but I'd hate it, I feel hot all the time anyway. I sometimes have my fan on even now! I'd much sooner be cold than hot, makes me feel ill. I'm on ground floor, no heat to rise thankfully, but if it was hot for whatever reason I couldn't even have windows or doors open at night due to location/safety. horrible!

We used to live in the ground floor flat of a Victorian conversion. I hate being cold and so would put the heating on a lot. We also had a gas fire in our sitting room that we'd put on in the evenings.

The guy who rented the flat above us later told me that when he had a really lean winter a few years ago he moved his bed so it was directly above the fire because of the heat that came up. He reckoned it kept him alive.

Gunpowder - that's scary. Poor bloke.

I think there may be a lot of people wishing they lived above a flat like yours this winter

molding economy7 is shite! Absolute shite!

Goldi, I am not a cold bod! I am with you!

Tikka cheers my lovely, unfortunately, she does not bring me food from downstairs, just provides warmth! I needed that!

MammaTJ - I hear what you are saying but the downstairs tenant may be losing quite a lot of heat?

Do you know if there is insulation between you?

Gunpowder, were your bills high there?

No Salmotrutta but with the noise rising up as well as the heat, I doubt there is much! Not unreasonable times, I might add, just normal child running about noise at normal child times, so not an issue.

MamaTJ they were a fortune!
