I am currently wearing 3 layers of clothes, a polar tech blanket toga, 2 bathrobes, & a sleeping bag.
So I THINK it’s fair to say that the thermostat. is. broken.
Which means that I don’t CARE that it reads 58....
Because, firstly? That’s an inhumane temperature to set it to. Let’s just get that out of the way.
Secondly, there is ice forming on my cup of coffee. Right there. Along the edges. I can SEE it. See? There. That would be ice crystals forming. Which is freaking impressive because there’s not a lot of water content in my coffee. It’s Turkish. Which means you can stick it in the freezer and it will still slosh about a week later. The best we can get Turkish coffee to freeze to is Slushie. And that’s only if you’re reeeeally determined. So that the edges are starting to freeze... inside the house... means that maaaaaaaybe it’s NOT actually 58 degrees in here???
Lastly, almost lastly, look at me! “If you’re cold put some clothes on?” Have you gone blind? If it were possible to wear MORE clothes, I’d like to know how. And am open to suggestion
And -last for real- your attempt to accuse me of putting my coffee cup in the freezer I will take as your agreeing that I am right. Attempts to weasel out of responsibility tell me you KNOW it, too. You could just SAY “Damn, you’re right. It IS cold in here. Maybe we should replace the thermostat, since you so kindly already checked the furnace and it’s working great.” ...but if you want to weasel, that’s fine, too. Low. But fine.
