Reply to: Air your room

[Mordac]

When I was in hospital last year (October), my room mate liked the window open. I didn't care - I just asked the nurse to bring me another blanket. It was very pleasant.

The nurses referred to us as the ice boys. Turned out, he'd been the anesthaetist for many of my urologists surgeries. Since he already knew most of the medical staff there, it ended up with me nearly being treated as human as well.

At home, we have the windows ajar. Locked though, so you wierdos can piss off.

In your case it would take a hell of a lot more of a serious nutcase than a mere weirdo...

Personal hygiene issues within the office...?

Fusty Barmy - hmm fits.

I always have a window open. My bedroom window is open all year round unless it gets properly sub zero, in which case it's closed overnight.

Best not share that info given some of the wierdos on here

I think a window slightly open all year around and frequent airing of the room is good common practice by civilised people.
Also having a bright well lit room.

Except when you are in corporate hell and everything is closed for cost saving purposes, heat to minimum. And windows? They remind people that there could be a life outside work so to hell with those.

Same - sleep with the bedroom window open year round. Feel all the better for it in the morning. Nothing to do with waking up a 08:30am.

Wel they are IBMers...

Germans embrace fresh air to ward off coronavirus | World news | The Guardian

Although it's probably a good idea, I used to hate it. I recall doing a project at a bank and we shared the office with a load of onsite IBM'ers, they used to come in after us, unpack their stuff, open the windows and then bugger off to breakfast regardless of what the weather was like. It's happened in nearly everywhere I've worked here and Frau D. does it too, every morning all the windows are opened to allow air to blow through...

Why didn't you put your beach towels on their chairs before they arrived?

so NLyUK isn't the only one who likes it up front ?

The old man insists on a fistful of cash.

Prepayment is the only way.

Cash up front then they can escape if they like? Wise woman.

Without ventilating rooms you end up breathing mould spores and other unpleasant things. Mrs V opens the windows fully every morning to let my stale bottom burps escape the bedroom.
