Up next...AC is racist because most of them are usually covered in white.
Many offices now have these new-fangled machines called “computers.” The temperature is kept on the cool side to serve the machines, and not the workers. I resent the implication that women are too stupid to put on a sweater.
” The women in the office would constantly jigger them around and it drove the building managers nuts, because he would then get calls all day from the rest off the floor.”
Spot On!
I ran a commercial building for several years. The thermostats did nothing if you adjusted then, they were really just sensors for the computer driven HVAC system that was controlled by the computer in my office.
I got many calls a day complaining about it being too hot AND too cold from the same floors. I could print out hourly zone temp readings for the entire building, and could instantly tell if there was a problem. All the temperature problems were sitting behind a desk.
by the way, installing the ghost-thermostats seemed to solve his problem for the most part
the thermostats didn’t read temperature or give a temperature indication, they were the honeywell type that just said like “warmer or cooler” and you could adjust a dial.
he said if the women didn’t know what the actual temperature was, and if they felt they were doing something to control it, they were fine.
I have wondered how much of that is true, I mean the psychological part, and if it differs between the sexes and for what reasoning, or if the psychological part was on his end, where he felt they were pestering him less.
It was the only time we were asked to do that kind of job (we usually had HVAC guys do thermostats), so I wonder how frequent that request is.
Turning down the thermostat is a micro-aggression.
Sweaty, hairy, female armpits pushing out of sleeveless blouses up next!
Now if she said air conditioning was caused by global warming, she might have a point. /s
It's so often true. Women often aren't comfortable in the chill of cold AC air.
Ha! So very true. I used to work in an office in which the majority of the employees were women in their fifties and they set the thermostat. I was in my twenties and kept a space heater under my desk-even in the summer just to thaw out my feet once in a while.
Let these women spend a summer in Texas with no a/c, they would be singing a different tune.
Wheel she hasn't met my wife. My wife has to have the AC on constantly as is the case with many other women in our church when men don't.
There's a local company in Texas that has billboards which read (in huge print) "YOUR WIFE IS HOT!", with small print underneath that reads (better get the A/C fixed).
Many women like to show “skin” and wear clothing & accessories which accentuate those more ‘interesting’ areas of their anatomy.
Then they become irritated (supposedly) that men “stare at my (fill in the blanks) never look me in the eyes and view us as sex objects”.
As the article pointed out, “Typically, men who work in office environments wear thicker and longer clothing than women do. Men in professional workplaces wear button-up shirts and long slacks, where women can wear short-sleeved blouses and skirts and possibly even sandals in the summertime.”
Oh good grief.
Most of the women (and men) in offices go in are, let’s say, heavy. They don’t have a problem with the thermostat being set to Meat Locker. I’ve noticed that most of the people wearing sweaters and parkas indoors are quite a bit thinner. They simply do not have the insulation the others do.
Also older people seem are more sensitive to cold.
If I go into any store of office building in summer, even if it’s 100 degrees outside, I have to bring in a sweater and in some places a neck scarf as well. It’s ridiculous how cold they keep it ... but I never thought to complain about it being anti-woman.
Sheesh. I missed the boat again. So many opportunities to cry sexism that I’m missing.
***So women can’t tolerate cooler temps like men?***
Strange. I was always taught women could tolerate cold better because there was a THIN layer of fat under the skin that most men did not have.
Explains everything.
***“computers.” The temperature is kept on the cool side to serve the machines***
True. We soon learned to keep a jacket on hand in summer and a coat in winter.
When a power failure happened in summer, we brought in air fans to keep the employees cool while I&E worked on the electrical problem.
She need to move to SoMiss or SoAl and eschew the a/c.
For just one month.
The month of August.
And she only gets one (1) box fan.
And Hollywood showers only. One (1) per day.
She will be making a little altar to Carrier within a week.
