'I know this is petty': Roommates share thermostat with neighbors, neighbors keep setting it to wild temperatures, cue revenge

I can't imagine having to share a thermostat with crazy neighbors. As I'm sure we all know, despite the fact that all humans are technically warm-blooded mammals, people seem to run on wildly different temperature preferences. I've had roommates that absolutely loathe A/C (or perhaps they pretend they do to avoid having to pay a higher energy bill… but dude, when it's 90 degrees, it's necessary…). I've also had coworkers in a shared office space insist that the A/C be on full blast all the time, even in the dead of winter. What is wrong with people?!

 

These Redditors posted about their experiences of having to constantly reset the thermostat because of their neighbors, who spoke a different language and who were pretty conflict-avoidant. They shared their tale via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments section!
