To think, if my lips are blue, then it's too bloody cold?

[KhalliWhalli]

Sorry for this rant but hopefully there will be other posters who feel the same. Where I am it is winter and I am freezing . I have four layers of clothes on and am trying to work in these conditions but finding it hard. I've just been to the bathroom and seen that my lips are blue. Just for background, I am in great health and have no circulatory problems.

If I hear the words, "rug up" or "just put another jumper on" one more time I swear to God...

AIBU?

Blue lips suggest lack of oxygen to your body extremities 7 degrees is cold but if your blue you have an issue.

Just because other people don’t feel it isn’t your problem are they such arseholes they are happy for you to be sat there blue with cold? Speak up, go home or go somewhere else that’s warm.

My lips go blue when it's cold too, always have done

I used to have to work in really cold conditions, doing data entry in what was really just a loading bay, so I couldn't even wear gloves because then I couldn't type. We had a small heater, but it would only switch on for 15 minutes, then switch off for 30 minutes, and the settings couldn't be changed. It was such a physically awful job to do. I absolutely despise being cold, so you have my sympathy OP.

we are getting a drip feed here....

Awaiting the drip feed that the op is studying polar bears in the wild....

Where? Why is there no bloody heating? Without context it's pointless.

Oh I wish my life was that exciting . I am working, sat at my desk, staying with family. They are too tight to have the heating on.

What country are you in?

@FlorrieLindley I’d rather not say.

Because that would be outing? Give over.

I voted that YABU because you refuse to say where you are, or give any further information. 7 degrees is cold, but hardly cold enough to make lips go blue - you seem to just want a moan.

7 degrees is cold for indoors but isn’t turn your lips blue cold.

If you’re staying with family and don’t like the conditions then there’s an extremely simple solution

When we used to play in the sea (in the height of summer) my skin would turn purple and orange, never mind blue. I think it's perfectly feasible.

OP, tell them that the legal minimum office temperature in the UK is 16 degrees.

Do you have to stay?

7 degrees indoors?

Oh come on, are you one of 10 people living in that country?

@godmum56

Unfortunately, where OP is located is FAR too cold for a drip feed, the taps have frozen.

Just fucking leave.

So then what is the point of this thread?

@FlorrieLindley

She's either in Calgary (Canada) or Canberra (Australia)

Why the heck it's such a big secret I have no idea

I'm thinking Canada

Go and have a cup of tea OP and tell them you need a heater on for a bit.

Is it actually 7C indoors though? Or is that the outdoor temperature and you haven't measured indoors?

Why does it matter where she is? 7 degrees is cold in any country.

Of course it’s cold OP. Make some fuss, get them to turn the heating on or drag a heater into your office.

Do you have to stay there?
Would they put the heating on if you made a financial contribution?
Being cold is utterly miserable.

So what temperature is it in the house?

You are staying "with family" - what, YOUR family or someone else's family?! If it is your family, I don't know why you can't tell them you are freezing and need the heating on - otherwise leave and go work in a cafe or library, if it is a family-run workplace rather than your family, I would seriously just tell them that it is too cold to work and you cannot continue.

She's either in Calgary (Canada) or Canberra (Australia)

Then it's either very early in the morning or late evening. The op must be working nights or shifts if she's in either of those places.
