Instead of just making the place comfortable, it's crank up the A/C and rip the knob off. Makes me want to take a sledgehammer and bash the hell out of it until it stops working.

I wonder if the rise of obesity has something to do with it. I've been a bit overweight at various points in my life. Maybe topped out at 215. I'm 5' 11". Now about 180 lb. But even when I was heavier I didn't like it very cold. But you see folks toting an extra 100 lbs., etc. and you wonder if thermostats are catering to them. Just a thought with no substantive data to back it up other than the increase in obesity.
