Wimmin are ALWAYS "cold", Max...
I've encountered the female "I'm coooooold..." syndrome many scores of times
over the years: in workplaces, dwellings, bars, restos, stores, trains,
planes, automobiles, etc...you have too, undoubtedly.
The majority of people will be reasonably comfortable in an air -
conditioned space, but some dumb self - centered twot will ALWAYS have to
start whining about being "cold", demanding that the AC be turned down, etc.
It of course NEVER occurs to them to bring some kind of wrap or something,
they have to complain and Complain and COMPLAIN...
Worst case was on an Amtrak car (STL - CHI) one hot July day a few years
ago, some dingbat with a friggin' tube top complained to the conductor so he
turned the AC down per her request. It quickly got too warm, a bunch of us
(including seniors, moms with kids, etc.) virtually threatened an
insurrection if the AC wasn't turned back up. Natcherly the chick was
completely clueless as to the commotion she caused...
I've been in work places where the management had to ban women from bringing
in space heaters in SUMMER because their feet were "cold", those space
heaters can be a real safety hazard...
I've been in bars, etc. where women have demanded that the AC be turned
down, in most of these cases OF COURSE they are cold because they are
sitting right UNDER the AC vent...and did they think to bring a sweater or
something? You know the answer to that...
For some reason black women are especially prone to being "cold", it can be
a sunny 70 degrees out and they are running around with scarves, gloves,
hats, etc. Of course the worst offenders in this bunch most usually weigh
about 300++ pounds, go figure...
South Asian (pakis, dotheads...) women are other offenders, I'm like, "Hey,
it's HOT outside and we are AIR CONDITIONED...". Or if it's cold weather,
"Hey, it's JANUARY in CHICAGO...and why don't you wear something more
substantial than a sari and sandals and a light jacket...!!!???". Sheesh,
already...
This "I'm cooooold" phenomenon is still *another* indicator of why women are
generally rather a stupid and impractical lot...there's a perfectly good
reason why women are known as the "second .".
Before I get flamed, here's a hint, ladies: Dress appropriately for the
climate (indoors or out) you think you might encounter. And that includes
PLANNING for any REASONABLE eventuality...it's really not that difficult to
do! We men do it all the time, we realise it's tiresome to constantly
complain about being physically uncomfortable because we didn't think to
dress properly for the temperature...
Anyone with even half a brain wouldn't go onto a newsgroup with the topic
"Qantas: Always that cold?"...
