"I can give you 1 degree."
This is what they hear when they are freezing.
I don't freeze. I pay the utilities so I bundle up appropriately. [Not to mention my body temperature is naturally warmer. Exercising daily has stopped all hot flashes again.]
Everyone likes to hit the thermostat as if they were picking their vacation destination and wanting to be warm and balmy.
One degree is all I can spare.
I know, it sounds ridiculous, but this is what you will hear in my house.
[The thermostat is usually kept at 72 degrees and bumped to 73 to kick start the furnace. A few years ago, I kept it between 68-69 degrees due to high gas prices. So technically, it isn't 1 degree, it is 5 degrees. I am much more generous these days.]
