I’ve never considered myself someone who is often bothered by the temperature of other people’s homes.
I think picking the temperature of your home is personal and can only be understood by the person who actually lives there, which is why the thermostat should always be left untouched by guests.
I also never comment on the temperature unless it’s something positive because it can make people feel uncomfortable when their home doesn’t feel “right” to others. Recently, however, everything I stood for was put to the test when I entered my cousin’s house and it was absolutely freezing. It was a hot and humid summer afternoon when I went over, and I couldn’t believe the bitter air I felt as soon as I crossed the threshold. Immediately, I began to regret my choice of clothing because it felt like an igloo! My cousin was dressed in pants and a sweatshirt despite the temperature outside and I could tell right away that this choice in temperature was intentional. I casually found the thermostat and saw that she had set the air conditioning to 65 degrees! Her house was close to three thousand square feet and she was cooling the entire thing to sixty five degrees, all while wearing fall and winter clothes. I wanted to say something so badly about her poor choice of temperature, but I wanted to ask her even more if she was crazy? There’s no telling what her utility bill is if she’s running her air conditioner at 65 degrees in this heat!
