New Hampshire Redditor Gets Roasted for Insane Thermostat Behavior

Hosting a morning radio show in New Hampshire, I have heard it all when it comes to thermostat behavior. People have very specific criteria on what the degrees need to be outside in order for them to turn the heat on inside.

Trust me, I get it! None of us have a money tree growing in our backyard. We need to save our shekels where we can. If that means having to wear multiple layers and long underwear inside our homes in the Winter in order to keep the heat bill down, so be it!

But as is the case with everything, there are extremes. A Redditor who goes by the user name some_people_callme_j shared with the New Hampshire subreddit group recently the photo below.

He captioned it "Who's with me? Or am I crazy?"

Let me be the first person to say, I run hot. I sleep in a tee shirt and shorts with a very thin blanket in the Winter and I still wake up as clammy as a pig in a blanket. But to set your thermostat at 56 degrees, that feels a little like living outside.

This certainly started a conversation in the Reddit-verse with 371 comments and counting.

The general consensus is "boy, you crazy". Many commentors brought up the concern of freezing one's pipes. It might be 56 inside but it's significantly colder inside the walls where the pipes are.

Mid to high 60s feels like a reasonable compromise. I don't even turn my heat down to 56 when I am going to be gone for the week in the Winter.

Many people gave the person behind the OP (original post) grace and said something along the lines of "times are tough, heat it expensive. You won't freeze to death at 56 degrees and your pipes won't freeze either". Does this person have a wife and kids? Probably not or they would most certainly be complaining about the arctic temps.

What do you keep your thermostat at in the Winter?
