Today, my roommate turned the thermostat down to 50 degrees. Why? Because she read that shivering burns calories. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Bit nippy out
Today, my mom wants to save money on both heating and electricity. Put into practice, this means that the temperature in my room is about the same as that in our fridge. FML

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, my roommate decided to turn off all appliances in the house to "save" electricity. This included the refrigerator. FML

Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML

Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML

Today, my boyfriend is wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I'm wearing leggings, sweatpants, a vest, t-shirt, jumper and hoodie. If we turn the heating any higher, he starts overheating and sweating. At the current level, I'm still shivering. FML

Today, the heater went out at work. I was shivering so hard that someone thought I was having a seizure. FML

Because, like an idiot, all you posted was "Lol". >_> If you don't have anything in relation to the FML to say, don't say it at all.

really? Good lord. You can't fix stupid like you can fix a thermostat.

Yeah, it's time to have a talk about what temperature your place is going to be. Put it in writing, make sure they sign it, and whip it out anytime she gets dumb ideas like this one.

I guess any body will do anything to lose weight except exercise and eat healthy.

They made a pill for liposuction.. What does that tell you?
Fuhkyoo 17
liposuction is physically removing the fat, i'd imagine youre referring to liposeme, which is just a name they use to trick dumb fat people into buying their products cause it has "lipo" in the name

People come up with the weirdest ways to "burn calories" or "lose weight". I knew a person who started smoking because she thought it will make her slimmer... I wanted to slap her and say "EXCERCISE DAMMIT!!!" but, it would be in vain... The foolhardy does what the foolhardy wants.... *Sigh*

Sweating burns calories too (:

Yeah, and if you want to loose weight fast, I suggest chopping off body parts! Not really, that was sarcasm.

Ah yes, the amputation diet. I lost 20 pounds AND get to park in handicap parking spots. For only 3 easy payments of 27.99 you to could have that perfect figure youve always wanted. WARNING: removal of body parts may reduce weight but does not slim the body down. Brought to you by Buzz Saw weight loss.

I feel your pain. The heat on my car doesn't work, so when there's snow and ice on my car my hands are like Popsicles on crack. This week has been pretty shaky, I can't wait to get that fixed.. At least you're inside, grab a blanket! :)
