I'll start:

So one day a few weeks back I come home during 90 degree temperatures to find the house all sealed up, which is unusual for my wife because she hates AC.

I walk in and it's hot in the house. I tell her that and ask why the windows aren't open if she doesn't have the AC on. She says it is on, so I go check.

It's set for 80. This was intentional. She thinks that's a normal temperature for AC. The poor dog was lying on the floor panting.

She routinely walks around during the day with a robe on when I set the AC for 72-75.

Meanwhile, at night she's the exact opposite. She wants it to be as cold as possible, and constantly kicks off the covers.

Women have broken internal thermometers.

My wife and I just have different thermometers. We keep our house 77-78 during the day in summer, and she'll be wearing pants and a long-sleeved shirt. I'm wearing shorts.

At night, we cool it to 75. I don't sleep with a sheet... she has blankets, plural.

Holy crap.

If it's more than 75 degrees for very long you will find me lying naked on a tile floor trying to soak up some coolness out of it. I once worked in a place that kept the thermostat at 78 degrees, and I quit that job because it was just too damn hot. I have a special water-cooled mattress pad on my bed that gets down to 50 degrees and it is the greatest thing I have ever owned.

If I ever do meet the love of my life and she insists on setting the temperature to 80 degrees we're going to be living in separate houses.
