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

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, 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

It's actually true. Same with freezing ass cold showers. Aside from her selfishness of making you suffer along with her, you might want to start taking note of her eating habits; a lot of eating disorders start by going to (slightly safer) extremes to burn calories.

Just turn it back up and stop complaining

If you don't want to hear "complaining", then you are on the wrong website.

I hear exercising burns calories, but I think it's just a myth

Get her a shake weight. Then turn up the heater. Tell her she will burn twice the calories, then sit back and watch her make a fool of herself.

Hopefully, it is cold where you live. Otherwise, turn your foot to "kick some ass" mode when that electric bill comes.
