Two of the things I LOVE about the winter are that a) you can have a lovely layered outfit on, jumpers and scarves are my fave, and b) you aren’t constantly drenched in sweat, unlike the summer.
However, both of those go completely out the damn window as soon as you step into a building heated to insane temperatures simply because it’s cold out.
So I either have to take off 4 layers of my carefully curated outfit, or get all sweaty as though it’s the Godforsaken summer again. Madness! Just keep the building a bit colder!

I disagree. There are people who spend all day in those buildings (the employees) and they deserve to be comfortable more than someone who is just stopping in or passing through for a little bit.
Agree and people use too much AC in the summer. Mid 70s is fine for summer, especially when your AC fixes the humidity
This is my number one pet peeve after moving to the northeast having lived in the south all my life… it’s so annoying walking around with a big coat on because it’s cold out, then walking into a building and it’s like 85 degrees in there and I have to strip everything off so I don’t start sweating. I swear I get hot more often here than I ever did in the south
Must be nice. As part of cost savings my place of work turned off the heating for the last two winters.
Note for context: every winter my friends always bring a hot water bottle round with them when they come to my place. I like a cold house, and will happily chill with my jumper, coat, etc on if the temperature requires.
And most commercial spaces are, for example. People are coming in from the outside wearing more clothes, temperature is maintained for their comfort.
Temperature is maintained for the intended use scenario. Offices are kept warmer because people spend a whole day in them, they can take off extra layers, they’re also just sitting still all day.
Hell yes. I swear people want to keep it a hot 30 degrees when it’s cold outside. But when it’s summar and 30 degrees out, they will blast the AC on 18 degrees and make it cold inside.
It’s madness.
I live in a very cold country and wear 4 layers if not more when I go out. When I get home (or into any building) I want to be able to have my body relaxed and not be “tense” from how cold it is
If I was forced to stay in a cold building all day I might set the building on fire for warmth. I fucking hate the cold
Agreed. I love a house cooled to 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. Same for my employment.
Just be careful how cold you wish for. My notoriously stingy father consistently keeps the heat at 53 at night and 60 during the day in the winter. Usually the outside temperature is between 0 and 35 degrees, and it’s usually cloudy. We even have a wood stove that goes all winter and it’s still freezing.
Definitely unpopular. I have no interest in wearing 4 layers (as you said) while I sit at my desk.
You want other people to be uncomfortable to accommodate your “carefully curated outfit”. This is some hardcore main character syndrome.
I wish my house reached insane levels of heat in winter. I ran the heating for hours to get 18c . I cannot wait until it gets properly warm this summer.
