Today, I moved to Florida because I have poor circulation and need to be in a warm environment. The first day at my new job, I discovered my co-worker is an overweight man who wears a wool suit every day, and insists on keeping the office chilled to 65 degrees. I can't feel my fingers or toes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my skinny co-worker complained that sitting just underneath the AC vent was making her too cold. My boss had us switch places, because "your mass keeps you warm anyway". FML
Today, I've been freezing in my office for days at work. When I finally complained about it to a coworker, she led me into my office, said, "Let me show you something," then pointed out the thermostat I'd never noticed was even there and turned it up with a pitying look. FML
Today, despite living healthy and being only 40, I have such pathologically cold feet that I can only ever be comfortable while either having them on a hot water bottle or taking a vigorous walk. Everything else feels about as cosy as standing in ice water. FML
Today, some construction workers kept going in and out the door next to my cubicle. They decided it would be easier to just prop the door open for the next hour. It's 20 degrees outside, and I'm wearing a dress. FML
Today, I was written up at work because I took off my badge. While I was putting on a sweater for this cold weather. FML
Today, the company I work for decided to "go green" and stopped using the air conditioner to cool down the office. It is currently 81 degrees at my desk. FML
Today, it's -5°C outside and snowing and it's only September. If that wasn’t bad enough, we aren't allowed to have the heat on at work due to a menopausal monster who loses her shit and throws things if we turn it on. I can't feel my toes. FML
Today, I got to listen to my boss lecture me about professional dress and subtly insinuate that my being on the heavier side top-wise with all the men in the office could be a problem. I've worn turtle necks for the whole two months I've been working there. FML
Today, while working at Starbucks, an elderly woman came up to me asking to turn up the heat. It was at 73. After explaining to her that corporate all the way across the country controls our heat, she's reporting me to corporate and is insisting I should be fired or she won't ever return. FML
Today, thanks to a wonderful -40°F wind chill (I'm in the Midwest), I woke up this morning to a freezing cold house. I had to wear my shoes, a coat, and gloves. Indoors. For the whole morning and most of the afternoon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just keep your head cool and don't argue with him. You don't want things heating up in the office now do we?

Florida sucks

65 degrees? That is not cold. You want to see cold, move 2-3 hours north of Montana, then you're getting into the 23F around this time most days. Don't complain about 65 degrees. If you really don't like '65 degrees' get a new job. and that's a really sad story if you couldn't feel your toes or fingers at 65 degrees, you should be really warm in 65 degrees. Id love it if where I work was 65 degrees every day.

She's not complaining, idiot. This is a medical condition where you don't get proper circulation to your extremities-even in temperatures much higher than 65-and it can be incredibly painful!

Sounds like you have a few options... - get a different job - wear warm clothes to your current job - invest in a room heater to keep near your desk - talk with HR about appropriate room temperatures - quit your bitching and enjoy Florida :)

His weight has nothing to do with this... I hate it when people add "overweight" to their description of the wrong-doer just because they know it will further antagonize him/her!

Overweight people are generally hotter, the fat keeps in the warm. OP is explaining why the co worker keeps it so cold, as well as the wool suit
