Women and Thermostats

[Doggy Styles]

If you lived in a hard water area, she'd be right!

Boiling will cause dissolved salts to precipitate, thus raising its boiling point. So, next boil is at a higher temperature. Did she leave you for someone with an O level in chemistry?

That's A level syllabus now

My missus turns the thermostat up in the boiler, so the house is never any warmer but the water from the taps is scalding.

Hum....you need a option to ' Put a Jumper on if you are cold'

'tis what hubby always tells me anyway!

yes that's what option e should do - ask the person who presses the switch if they have a jumper and 2 pairs of socks on! Oh that reminds me - now that winter has kicked in I must find her slippers you can put in the microwave for real toe toasting...

From last winters post about the same subject:

You need a better system, something more direct that a female mind can comprehend, such as putting the following pictures on the thermostat:

A picture of a luxurious Maldives holiday at the 15°C marker

A picture of a holiday in Costa del Sol with a basket of chicken n chips at the 21°C marker

A picture of a carvan in Bognor with a plate of tripe at the maximum marker

Is it only my woman who doesn't have a clue how thermostats work? She just jacks it up to the max (i.e. beyond the 25 max marker) because she thinks it'll heat up the house faster...

I'm sure this is a typical woman thing.

Yes it's a female truism

MSc, just checked.

Being a bloke, I clearly understand the point about thermostats etc, however, answer me this:

Got in the car on the way home tonight...weather freezing, around zero degrees. Turn the temp on the car to about 22 degrees and hit the "auto" button on the climate control and guess what happened? Yep, fan goes to full speed and blasts freezing cold air into car for first few miles.

So are cars secretly women? Is that why mine is so tempromental once a month?

The other mystery is why in winter, 20 degrees is too cold, yet in summer (when we're somewhere with air conditioning), 20 degrees is too hot.

its all about perception. Like someone who drives 1mph slower than you is an idiot, someone who drives 1mph faster is a lunatic

hmmm - the wife's toyota doesn't do that - it waits until the engine warms up a bit before blasting!
