To think being too cold is worse than being too hot

[smileplease6]

I'm that person who can't stand the air con or the windows open if it's not hot outside. I hate the breeze while I'm working and my hands get very cold easily.

But I always seem to work with people who want the Office about 16c. I usually grin and bare it but sometimes I'm so uncomfortable I can't work.

I'm not saying everyone should be sweating and boiling, but I feel being cold is worse than being a little warm. AIBU?

I’m the same as a lot of other posters chronic illness constantly cold. It actually hurts my muscles seize up if I’m too cold. Never actually too warm. I’m still sleeping with two duvets just now.

I agree with you OP.

Being too cold makes my body want to shut down completely. Also makes me feel unwell and totally destroys any feeling of well being.

Being hot is a bit of a pain but nothing like as bad.

Its all very well saying put on a jumper but what if you hadn't expected it to be cold and don't have one with you. also if you are expected to be smart you can't alwaysayer up!

I hate being too hot and much prefer to be cool.

In most offices, in my experience, when the women are comfortable, the men are too hot and when the blokes are comfortable the ladies are too cold.

This may be because while the women can get away with wearing short-sleeve tops, above-knee skirts & sandals, the men are restricted to trousers, shoes, long-sleeve shirt & tie.

I think the women are cold because our body temperature tends to be cooler, although I may have made it up.
