Have you heard of occams razor?

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 23/07/2018 20:09

Usually shoplifters according to PC DH!

WinkysTeatowel · 23/07/2018 20:10

People are weird, saw a guy in a puffer jacket yesterday!

Lottapianos · 23/07/2018 20:10

Are you in London by any chance? On the hottest day of the year, you are guaranteed to see at least one person in a puffy coat Shock and on the most bone chilling day in January, you will see someone in sandals Hmm I have no explanation!

A friend of mine is allergic to the sun. I thought she was bullshitting when she first told me till the blazing sun came out one day, caught her off guard and she came out in a painful rash all over her body. She has to cover up. Maybe not to the extent of a winter coat but she always has to suffer outside in a jacket of kinds.

delphguelph · 23/07/2018 20:11

Maybe they just arrived

Clionba · 23/07/2018 20:12

It's women in black leggings or opaque tights that get me. I'm sweating just looking at them!

ForalltheSaints · 23/07/2018 20:12

Are they people just back from somewhere less warm? Or homeless people?

Mymouthgetsmeintrouble · 23/07/2018 20:12

They are about to go on public transport so need to cultivate some extra smelly bo ready for the journey

Racecardriver · 23/07/2018 20:12

Maybe they are forgein? In a lit of places 33 isn't that hot especially if there is a breeze so a light coat may be in order.

Metoodear · 23/07/2018 20:13

I was sweating from my lady garden today so I just don’t understand it’s not cold not breezy but full on winter coats

I'm usually based in the ME so it's still cooler than I'm used to - today I was wearing g a long sleeve thick jersey top and long trousers and was quite comfortable. I haven't gone so far as a coat in daytime though!

proudestofmums · 23/07/2018 20:14

Would it be less surprising if they weren’t separate? (smiley face - dont know how to add one)

BearPear · 23/07/2018 20:15

I saw at least 4 people in quilted parkas on my lunch break today, with fur-trimmed hoods, the works! Mainly between the ages of 12-25. Very odd.

CloudCaptain · 23/07/2018 20:15

Tourists from somewhere hotter? My weird friend wears a silver raincoat to 'reflect' the heat.

wildgirls · 23/07/2018 20:17

Urgh! I was in New York recently where it was absolutely sweltering and it actually made me want to cry seeing people walking around in jeans and JUMPERS!!!! Confused

Metoodear · 23/07/2018 20:18

Can’t get the snowflakes to put coats on when it’s cold though Grin

Chemo can make you feel cold even when it's not. There could be all sorts of reasons... live and let live.

bigbluebus · 23/07/2018 20:18

DS has been wearing his fleece jacket zipped right up - but he works in a cold store and it takes him a while to warm up when he comes out of work. He may be wearing a thick coat too when he leaves work but definitely takes that off before he gets in the car.

GoldenWombat · 23/07/2018 20:19

I live in a country that is currently 44 degrees heat and (depending on how much air con has been blasting) will occasionally wear a jumper outside at 40! When I visit UK, 33 seems like Spring!!

luckycat007 · 23/07/2018 20:19

Might have body dysmorphia / ED and feel uncomfortable with lighter clothes on. I'd agree with @gotta - live and let live.

Liffydee · 23/07/2018 20:23

Maybe heroin addicts. It screws with your body temperature.

Rebecca36 · 23/07/2018 20:25

They had nothing on underneath! They donned the coats to travel a short distance to a destination which when, once reached, would lead to them immediately discarding their coats
