The office I'm currently working in isn't air-conditioned so we rely on open windows for fresh oxygenated sustenance.

But now, the two ladies in the office say they don't want the windows open, because the draft makes their feet cold.

So why come to work in fking flip-flops in you suffer from cold fking feet?

s.

Wear shoes to work and maybe the rest of us can actually breathe!


(at this point, I'd do a "and breathe", but I fking can't!)

Women are always cold.

They don't seem to understand that if you're cold, you can put more clothes on, yet if you're too hot, there is a limited amount that you can take off...

(Edited for grammar.)

Man, just make up some H+S BS about if an office isn't air conditioned then legally they have to keep the windows opened, or something.

Alternatively, kick them in the face, chop their feet off, etc etc

OK, so this maybe true, but as a women I would much rather be cold than hot. It is much easier to add layers to warm up, as there is only so much clothing you can take off at work!tongue out

Tell the women to stop complaining and wear suitable attire for work conditions!!!

Why are women so cold in the office but absolutely roasting hot in bed?

My wife claims to be cold allot (she does suffer from bad circulation) but once in bed she turns into a furnace.

The women in our office always complain about it being cold, all the blokes are hot, we come into work with t-shirts on.
The women wear t-shirts & flip-flops & skirts.
Why they can't bring a jumper in, wear shoes & trousers i dont know.

Ask them if there's something you can do to warm them up a bit.
Make sure you wink at them when asking.

Ah the joys of working in an office with moaning, bhing women! I'm soo glad I no longer have to. Seriously it used to drive me mad;

"Sandra had 61 minutes for her dinner yesterday so I'm going to sit here now for an extra minute before I put my computer on"

fk OFF!!

I'm afraid you have to "man up" and make a stand, it's no good whining on t'internet, if you let them win they will just moan about other things!

You may well be the only women on earth that can understand this logic.

There should be some kind of reward for you, like being an honourary man for a day.

(But there isn't.) biggrin

Our floor is boiling as everyone has at least 3 screens so the heat is horrific. On our desk we have one bird and she sits here with a pashmina on making loud shivering noises all day and we found out she was making sneaky calls to maintenance to get the heat turned up! f*cking bint.....

We have 3 women in our office and everyday is like some fked up episode of Goldilocks. One is too hot, one is too cold and the other is ok for now until about 5 minutes later when the window has been opened/closed and then the random order changes.
Most of their workday seems to consist of moaning about how cold/warm/hot/drafty/stuffy it is and opening & closing the windows or buggering about with the air-con system. rolleyes
Then again, I have never known my wife to be the correct temperature either in the last 26 years. England? Too cold, Italy? Too hot. Florida? Too hot and humid.

My boss is the same moans about everything. you open the window because its to warm and she will come over and shut it because the traffic is to loud outside. you turn the overhead fan on and its ( turn that down my papers are going everywhere ( well no there not because im sitting infront of you and i can see that the are perfectly still ))Continually asking if we have the heating on because ( its to warm in here ) Every fking 20 mins ! NO ITS JUST BECAUSE YOUR HITTING THE BLOODY MENAPAUSE YOU STUPID fkING BINT!!

Whats funny is that she is sitting right in front of me less than 2 meters away haha

Same problem here, I share an office with 10 women, and there's only 6 of us men. At first there was just myself and two others guys and one woman - we sorted the air-con so it was nice and cool, the woman complained about being cold but we just told her to wear more clothes, and not shoulderless fking synthetic-fibre tops rolleyes

The rest of the office move in and immediately get the building maintenance team in to change the air-con, because obviously they're all too fking cold in their open summer clothes. Here's a suggestion, you spend 7-8 hours a day in the office, about an hour outside, so why not dress according to the office conditions, not the outdoor conditions, you fking spacktards? So thanks to this we spend the next day sweltering. Luckily we know how to adjust it, so it's been quietly reverted back to how it was, and they've now learned to wear some goddam clothes*.



*Before anyone mentions it, most of them look much better when covered up.

Two things you need to understand about women:

1) In the summer they wear jeans and tops tighter than their own skin, and complain they're too hot.

2) In the winter they wear low-cut tops and skirts up to their arses, and complain they're too cold.

This is the way it is, it will never change, and we chaps just have to live with it!

Where do you work? I need a new job for the winter.

Women who wear flip-flops or open toed sandals in the office should have their feet cut off. It is an office, not the beach or a nightclub and I do not want to see your nasty, bunion covered, flaky-skinned, badly nail varnished, deformed appendages thank you.

Women who are cold should put an extra jumper/jacket on, not sit there in what amounts to a bikini top (ref comment above about it being an office) whinging about the temperature. If you wear layers dear you can then remove and replace when your hormones go awry (this is for you to deal with, not other people).

Why do office women have such revoltingly manky feet???

In fact actually quite a lot of women seem to? You know the type flaky nail varnish, white dead skin around the edges, horribly shaped and just basically manky???

As you rightly say why the hell do they show them off???

My feet are manky (actually only the right one). Therefore I don't impose it on others.
