    Business_Wolf5599 https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1o9j0sk/making_them_cold_just_seemed_like_the_right_thing/ - I used to work in a retirement village with a communal restaurant/dinning room. There was this awful family who despite being only a 15 minute drive away from the village would almost never visit their mother, we can call the mother Sam.
  • Business_Wolf5599 https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1o9j0sk/making_them_cold_just_seemed_like_the_right_thing/ - Sam was kind. Sam's family were constantly neglecting to provide items such as clothing and most of Sams valuables had in my opinion been stolen by them.

The invitation clearly said to "bring a jumper" as the AC was very cold to cater for the constant opening of the dinning room doors with guests coming and going.
  • Business_Wolf5599 https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1o9j0sk/making_them_cold_just_seemed_like_the_right_thing/ - Naturally Sam's family failed to book a seat and had to be accommodated last minute. Naturally they were the only ones without a jumper.

  • Business_Wolf5599 https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1o9j0sk/making_them_cold_just_seemed_like_the_right_thing/ - I got the privilege of finding them a place to sit so I dressed Sam in an extra warm nice outfit and set up the table under the big main AC vent.
  • Business_Wolf5599 https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1o9j0sk/making_them_cold_just_seemed_like_the_right_thing/ - 10 minutes later Sam's annoyed son and daughter in law approached me and asked "can you please turn down the air conditioning it is too cold." "Yep no problem I can do that" I said.
  • Business_Wolf5599 https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1o9j0sk/making_them_cold_just_seemed_like_the_right_thing/ - And I did. I turned that AC down and extra 4 degrees (I think to 16 degrees Celsius if memory serves).

I'm picturing like full heavy duty insulated coveralls type of jumper. (American here) Cold hearted people should be able to take the cold temps.
