Which would rather you feel ? Too Cold or Too Hot ?

dublin_apache

I've always found that some people would rather be too hot than cold, at all.

I my-self would rather be too cold than too hot.

Maybe I'm the only person like this, but have you ever been in someones house or car and their heating is just too hot that you're uncomfortable with it and everyone else is fine ?

I seem not to be able to tolerate heat as much as I can the cold...

I have my radiator in my bed room turned off all the time, which I find fine and if pll come into my room they say that it's freezing ...

Well how about you ?

Which would you rather ?

Oh, you have Raynaud's ?

asphalt-cushion

Yeah. Really sucks this time of year, especially trying to play guitar.

dublin_apache

Yeah I know someone who has it and he says it's horrible, sometimes he would no feeling in his finger tips...

Anyway, anybody else ?

Which would rather you feel ?

Too cold... I can't function in heat at all.

Chalk

gimme the cold ....

i cant even think if it goes a few degrees too hot
i function best about 10-15degrees id say [ based on when we set the thermostat to 20 i cant even watch the tv, i have to go outside

Boberto

Was freezing on the way to work this morning and it was horrible! I've gone with too hot... Of course i prefer neither. Ask me in summer on a blazing hot day and i'll say too cold.

Lafortezza

Prefer too cold. Tis easier to warm yourself up than cool yourself down.

Gurgle

Too hot, I hate being cold.

Sherifu

Cold, can't work in heat!

pickarooney

Balls! I think I left the radiator on this morning, and I'm away for the weekend.

irlirishkev

I hate being too warm! If I'm too cold, I can chuck some extra layers on. There's few places where you can start undressing 'cos you're too warm, without getting some funny looks that is!

In work, it's generally too warm, and I just can't function. I get lethargic, my throat becomes dry and I feel generally unwell.

Give me 'colder' rather than 'warmer' anyday!

Cold. I tend to thrive more in it.

Capt'n Midnight

I'd rather be too cold than too hot, you can put on extra clothes, you can only take off as many as you have on. Also if it is too hot then you just get lethargic, whereas if it is a little too cold then you can do things to keep warm.

DEmeant0r

Too Hot. I can't stand the cold, I can work better hot rather than cold.

ixoy

Too cold. My brain works better in the cold, I feel more alive/refreshed. Probably along the same lines of using water coolers for computers. Except different.

Dammit, my Turing Test sub routine must be malfunctioning....Program aborted...I am human.

Oh and warmth makes me dozy. I'm always about to fall asleep on the PC at work during the summer and my fans are forced to work harder. By fans I do, of course, mean the fans beside me. Not in me...

Trojan

Impure silicone I believe

Did you do it?
Are you sure it wasn’t you what done it?
It was you what done it, wasn’t it?

Thordon

Too cold, I sweat a lot when its hot (not overweight, I just do), and it makes me very uncomfortable.

Lump

Too Cold, at least if you're frezzing, you can put on more clothes, turn up the heat etc etc. But if you're too hot, even if you get naked it'll probably still be too hot, and most places dont have air-con....

John

Blisterman

Yeah, but outdoors you can't turn on the heat. You can always pour water on yourself.

SprostonGreen

I voted too hot, I just cannot function in the cold, my blood will not flow.

monkeyfudge

I went with 'too cold' because, like has been said already, it easier to deal with the cold.

If it's a really hot day, over 30 degrees, then there is just no escaping it. I'm pretty good with temperature though, I can operate just fine regardless of the heat or cold. But I just can't get to sleep if I'm overheated.

The people I work with drive me nuts though, always complaining... it's too hot... it's too cold... gah...

Spalk0

Im voting too hot really!The cold really gets to me and im good in high temperatures!

I have this - but I'd still rather be cold. Just give me some gloves...

MickFarr

Hot hot hot!! The hotter the better

I don't think I've ever been to hot in this country. Can't wait till summer time!

Stark

Cold, I'm very bad with heat, (switches to out and out geek/nerd mode, I think I've a bit of sebecean blood in me ). But yeah, like previous posters said, in the cold you can throw on layers, in the heat you're ****ed. Most places in Ireland don't have air conditioning to deal with heat, though most places do have heating. And I can't sleep when it's too hot, I especially hate it when I'm trying to get to sleep and break out in a sweat, ewww.

Have you tried inserting coolant rods into your brain?

Pet

Definitely too cold. When I'm hot I get all dizzy and uncomfortable and yuck, and there's no way of cooling down once you remove your clothes. It sucks.

When you're cold, you can always do some exercise and put on extra clothes to warm up. And I have a really fast metabolism which means I'm warm most of the time anyways.

Caesar_Bojangle

too hot.

there is nothing worse than planting your ass on an ice cold toilet seat first thing in the morning

MickFarr

Yeah yeah yeah,

Lets all be too cold. Where are you going for your summer holidays??? Iceland, Siberia, the north pole, God forbid if your going to the the the can’t say it must say SUN. Thats all well and good thinking, oh I'll just throw on a jumper if I'm too cold, Look at that theres one on the ground beside me. Thats good to know that you all go out carrying spare jumpers around the same as I go out and carry around a nice big bath of ice water when I get to hot and my giant fan plus my extreme miniature air conditioning mobile phone. Wait till you get stuck up a mountain for 3 days!!!!

Go and spend a night on a mountain!!!!

lol lol lol, I'm ffffrreeeszzziiinnnggg!!!!!!!

lol

TCamen

Too Cold.

I hate being uncomfortably hot, and it doesn't take much--even just a few degrees above what I'm happy with and it's Hell.
Thoughts of the London underground in the summer time *shudder* Nothin' worse than getting icky & sweaty just after ya leave the house in the morning -- stinky & gross all day!

I'm cold now (in Coleraine, go figure), but it's nice

Naos

damnit. picked too hot, shuda been too cold after further(2 seconds) of thinking.

main reason as said before, about the whole cold and warming urself up thing.

plus I find some girls look very cute when they are all wrapped up in the winter, in a non-murderous way of course but rather the whole hat and scarve thing.

Caesar_Bojangle

but when its warm they tend to expose more flesh

Capt'n Midnight

but when it's cold they snuggle closer for warmth

skittishkitten

TOO HOT ! I detest the cold, when I'm cold all I want to do is curl up and try to stay warm. Nothing gets done. At least when I'm hot I can go around mostly naked and if I'm still hot then it's time to head for the water. Pools, beaches , nice long soaks in a cool bath, MMMMMMmmmmmm . Much rather do that think try to find ways to keep warm !

I can think of better ways to get warm than trying to keep cool

billy the squid

Too hot

Im the one who throws the half bag of polish into the fireplace in the morning, smokeless coal is a curse, little or no heat off of it. and nothing beats fifteen or twenty briquets piled on top of a load of firelighters when you come in from work.

only drawback with briquets they take about four days to cool down which makes cleaning out the fireplace a pain.

AAAAAaaaaaaaa..... but then your not thinking of the fun "things" that can be done with it's hot out either . Coolwhip , ice, "playing" in the water .... just to name a few.

LOL, yea ...

I think the best thing that could be done on a mad hot day in the summer is...................... a "WATER FIGHT"

:cool:

PeadarofAodh

Too hot by a mile!
Hate being too cold! Worst is having cold hands, hate that so so much

samo

I am sitting in work absolutely freezing my hands are nearly numb and blue from lack of heat and can hardy type (sniffle!) so to the 60% of you who said you'd rather be cold would just love it if you could sit here freezing your ass off for me!

There is no heating in my office before you question it and I have 3 jumpers approx on and still freezing

Im the exact same! I barely ever have the rad. on in my room. I had it on for a little while earlier and it got too warm so im here with the window open to try cool my room down. All my friends give out that my room is freezing!

Zaph

Prefer too cold - can't function in the heat. Was in the States a couple of months ago and one day the temperature gauge in the car hit 106 fahrenheit (around 42 centigrade, I believe). Nearly killed me.

Was in the States myself recently and had to battle with the same high temperatures. I hated it. One day it was so hot we decided to drive 4 hours to the next city just so we could spend the day in our nice cold air-conditioned car. Give me the cold any day!
