It's a woman thing. The same principle that turning the thermostat up makes
the house warm up faster.


When we had a centrally controlled heating system installed at work, the
works Engineer was worried about the women in the stores as they were
always moaning about the temperature being high or low and weren't allowed
to alter the 'stat. I advised him to leave the 'stat there and tell the
women that although there was central control there was some control on the
'stat and that they may use it.
They seemed quite happy with the arrangement.
