1) Unprofessional skimpy outfits are significantly reduced.
2) I don't smell the B.O. of that sales guy who spends his lunch pumping weights at the gym and ...
3) the putrid smell of his tuna sandwhich doesn't linger around as long when the office is an ice box.
Who cares if I can't feel my feet?

What I find most frustrating about the use of A/C is that I live in Florida, and for some reason, almost every public building seems to feel the need to crank the A/C down to 68 to compensate for the fact that it is hot and muggy outside. I'm like, hello, it's FLORIDA, if you don't like the heat, then kindly GET OUT OF HERE and move back to Michigan, or wherever it was you came from.
Seriously, A/C is woefully abused in states with warm climates.

As far as air conditioning being another product of a "man's world," I call bullshit. I doubt the A/C being below 85 degrees is a product of the evil patriarchy. Regardless of gender,it is difficult to work when you are boiling in your own sweat. It is hard to look professional when you have massive sweat stains under your arms and down your back because the temperature is set at 85 in a building full of people who generate even MORE body heat. It is not enjoyable to go out to a bar where the temperature is cooler OUTSIDE than inside the bar(where you just paid a ten dollar cover charge). It is not what I would consider a grand old time when I wake up in the middle of the night, nauseated, uncomfortable and sticking to the sheet because my roommate felt the need to TURN ON THE HEAT in September.

@Danielle Kouyoumdjian:
I ask you, oh shivering ones, why are you unable to compromise, too? You want it to be 80. I want it to be 60. Let's meet somewhere in the middle.
So, the burden is upon us to change, then? I live in a warm climate, therefore I should set the A/C to match the temperature outside so you can enjoy being warm(because you moved here because you like the heat), others be damned?
As I said, I am willing to compromise(as are most people who are always hot) and not turn the A/C down to 60(because I recognize that YOU and others like you get cold unless it is 80+ degrees indoors), but meet somewhere in the middle. I think having the A/C in the range of the seventies is perfectly reasonable when it is well over 100 degrees outside. You should try it sometime. Take what you want, consider others, and meet somewhere in the middle. "Funny that," indeed!

I always think of it this way: I can wrap up, but when you're hot you can't take EVERYTHING especially in the office.

A man's world, indeed.

In the summer, you want to wear sandals and skirts, but even with heavy pants and long sleeves (and still a scarf) there are days when my fingers are too cold to type. When it's 90 degrees out! But all our power overusage is blamed on people forgetting to turn off their monitors at night.

It also drives me crazy to have my glasses fog up every time I enter/exit a store.
