to want the window closed

[Arabesque1]

The woman I share an office with has had the window open since 9 o'clock this morning and it's freezing . I asked at lunch time if we could close it and she agreed with a bit of a face .

Came back from a meeting a while ago and she had bloody opened it again. WIBU to slam it closed with a big annoyed sigh?

Yes,slam it shut in a dramatic style.

It's bloody freezing today.

Yanbu! Don't even ask, she didn't.

Or sit their in your coat and scarf.

There* [tut]

Is it a stuffy office with an unpleasant smell?

Oh yes ,good point,did you have a shower this morning,OP?

I bet it's really hot and stuffy and you're one of those people who claim they are freezing when the temp drops below 21 degrees for a nano second

Or you have bad BO

No, it's a nice airy room. She's just one of those people who always has to have 'fresh air'. But I think expecting to have the window open all day is a bit selfish. I could understand her wanting to open it for a while after a couple of hours if she feels the room is getting a bit warm. But even then, there should be some compromise. The default position shouldn't be that the window is open unless I ask for it to be closed (and then be bloody opened again as soon as I step out of the room for a couple of minutes).

LOL. Yes, I had a shower and used deodorant and am wearing a nice but light smelling perfume. And no, I didn't have tuna sandwiches or a microwaved curry for lunch.

Oooh i'd hate this! YANNNNNBU.

I am a chilly bod, and my sinus' play up if the air gets too cold for too long.

I like to be cozy!

Close the window.

Just closed it. Got a sour look but nothing said.

She's now fanning herself with a piece of A4 paper and looking over in my direction. I think I'm going to start laughing. .

Hmm, is she, say, late 40s/early 50s?

Maybe she has terrible farts today and didn't want to inflict them upon you. You'll soon find out now the window is closed.

Give her a fan for her desk.

(No I'm not in an office right now!)

No, she's not menopausal. I heard all about her cramps last week .

Has she taken her cardi off in a mardy style?

Hubby likes windows open and really does get hot at much lower temperatures than me. Our DD takes after him and is also a little hot water bottle.

I can dress in extra layers to be comfortable, not so easy for hot people to cool down. So I'm outnumbered and appreciate that it's easier for me to dress up and be comfortable than them to strip down to nothing!

She's just sighed and taken her jacket off and made a big deal of putting it carefully over the back of her chair.

X post Usual. Well done!

I used to have a boss that opened the Windows all the time.

Bloody gale force winds blowing through.She said it was refreshing

Ooh! You made her take her jacket off! What a mean old moo you are.

My colleague is like this - asks if she can open the window when her hand is already on the window handle and beginning to open! Sometimes I dare to close it, if so a fan gets turned on full blast! I guess I will have to start wearing my coat.
