NEAR BOCA RATON, Fla. – A Florida woman has been arrested after she allegedly attacked a woman over 65 because she messed with the thermostat in their home.

According to the arrest affidavit, Palm Beach Sheriff’s deputies said they responded to a domestic violence call at a home near Boca Raton earlier this month.

Deputies say a woman at the home said that she had gone to adjust the thermostat, when Breiland Springer “came up behind her and grabbed her by her face.”

The victim stated that Springer, 31, “tried to rip my face off.”

The deputy noted in the report that they did not see any marks or bruises on the victim’s face.

During questioning, Springer said the victim was lying.

The deputy said they found probable cause, and Springer was arrested and charged with domestic battery on a person over 65 years old.

She was booked into the Palm Beach County jail, but was released on her own recognizance.

Her next court date is set for next month.

This is why you need to thermostats in a home.

One that control the heat. One that women can turn up and down.

That does nothing.

Makes them happy with their heat moods.

Ms Springer, is actually not bad looking, but those wide vacant eyes give out a flashing warning sign.
I figured she must be a Meth Head. 31 y/o is awfully young to be that over-the-top crabby about the heat, especially to treat another woman that way.

If I had any sense, I’d close my keyboard down now.

I was very senior R&D in one of the world’s largest biomed device companies. Got bored, resigned, and with friends, started up a small company. Parenthetically, I loved it. It gave me an excuse to learn 5 or 6 new technologies. including extrusion, insert molding, centerless grinding, balloon blowing, etc.

When the largest privately-held company in the world bought us, I became, by defauult, CEO for a while.

Drove me crazy. Refereeing battles between production & R&D and sales. Facilities management. On and on.

My main-line secretarial staff shared space with QA and finance in one leased building. The primary secretary (who saved my ass more times than I can remember)was menopausal.

I bring this up only beacuse I was a biophysicist/ cardiovascular physiologist/biomed engineer by training. Plus company-grade officer US Army. Nothing prepared me for this. Fights would ensue over the thermostat settings.

We are talking VERY northern mid-west. Temp differential between the double air-lock doors of the main entance could be 105 F in February.

I moved desks, put up walls. I tried the plastic boxes that gave access only to key holders. Eventually, i just set two of them up, with no direct connection to the HVAC at all.

Worked like a charm. Placebo effect.

of why Florida Man is so out of his mind.

You can get by with just one. If someone changes the thermostat & the other doesn’t approve, just wait awhile when no one is looking & change it, maybe just a little at at a time. It might go unnoticed if the objectee doesn’t even realize it has been changed. Yeah, I know it sounds sneaky.

A basic inability to understand the thermostat was one of the two flaws my wife had.

She reminds me of one of the McPoyles on “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”.

Having worked in a large office with women in their 20s to women in their late 60s, I can see how a thermostat disagreement would get violent.
