For some of us,
we will have to come up with patient ways to answer the question, "Aren't you COLD?" 47 times each day during the mental pause.
Here's a thread to contribute funny replies one can use now and then, to help us not explode our heads when we have to keep answering that one over
and over............:laugh:
ANY FUNNY REPLIES COME TO MIND??
cuz "no" gets boring........BEST ANSWER GETS A PRIZE!! :laugh: :drinker:
(also, i now cringe in regret, for anytime as a younger woman who was always slim and chilly, if i ever asked my older coworkers if they weren't cold? not sure i did, but, maybe i did..............so maybe this repeated questioning is payback? lol)
IF there are any younger members reading along, (unlikely) next time you see a middle aged woman who has on a sleeveless top and a fan pointed on her, and you are wearing sweaters, IF SHE APPEARS COGNIZANT ENOUGH to perform self care
do her a favor and don't ask her if she is cold. Trust me, she has already answered that one 47 times today. If she is cold, she is probably smart enough to know how to solve that problem.
(It almost implies she must not be smart enough to dress her own self or to find a sweater.)

Maybe try "yes!" and insist the questioner go find something for you to put on.
lol.0 -
maybe try "yes" and insist that the questioner share their sweater with you, taking turns!! oh, the face they'd make, right? rofl.
If the other person DOES take off their sweater, just lay it across back of your chair, and say nothing, just to make them confused.
Continue asking for your turn in the sweater, though, if they take the sweater back from your chair.
bet that person won't ask you again if you are cold....:drinker:0 -
Every time person asks, answer "yes!" and make the questioner go fetch you something hot to drink,
but never drink it.
they might grow bored enough of that game to stop asking you every day...0 -
With as much sincerity as you can muster,
answer "Of course i am cold, just freezing....that is WHY i took off my sweater."
Option B, same remark, but instead of trying to look sincere, look at the questioner as if they are stupid to not understand that you are attempting to warm up by turning on your fan...0 -
No, I've been eating penguin meat and it makes me impervious to the cold.
No, my father is an Eskimo.
No, I take Viagra 2 times a day and it keeps me very, very HOT. :bigsmile:
The Bacardi keeps me warm.
You mean you can't feel those ultra violet rays penetrating the building?
No, I had Thai food for lunch.
I'm too sexy for my jacket.
I'm feeling the warmth of all the love around here.
I think the LSD just kicked in.
Wow! Those raspberry ketones really work!0 -

(bit of trivia, didja know the word "hysterical" and "hysteria" both originally derived from a belief, that when a woman lost her mind, it was due to her uterus wandering about in her body? lol)0 -
Yep. And then the doctors do hysterical-ectomies.

Even when I was younger I didn't find the cold bothered me as much as too much heat. My pet-peeve is people telling me 'you must be freezing' - my usual answer is, 'why must I?' Funny thing is I have lived in the North of England, in some of the really cold bits, for years but I am from the South of the country - yet I was usually the one in short sleeves while my Northern born and bred colleagues shivered....

Not cold at all.
Got my hot flashes to keep me warm0 -
Several years ago, at a church function which was a pot luck meal, I looked around and said, "you can tell the stage of the woman by how closely she is sitting to the fan". The woman closest to it had a hand fan in addition to the big fan and had a red face and perspiration, and so on down the line. At the time I was sitting almost farthest from it, but it got a big laugh. Why is it that other younger women don't know this fact? Not enough women in their lives.0

I find just telling people the truth means that they do not ask again. The look on their face can be really funny. It's also a good one to throw in when you need time to think something over - nobody agrues with you.0
