It's loving January in goddamn Ohio and I'm sitting here in my loving room SWEATING and taking off all my drat clothes because holy CHRIST WHY IS IT SO WARM IN HERE I come back from winter break and im like "wow its p warm in here" and then I check the termostat: EIGHTY DEGREES. Literally 80 deg. Fahrenheit. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I turn it the gently caress down, to like 73 or something reasonable sounding I guess, even 73 is pretty fuckin high IMO. 69-70, and then if you're really feelion cold put it up to 71 or so. But first you put on a loving sweater. The next day I find someone put it up to 78 and im like and turn it down to 75, then someone puts it to 77, etc you can see how it will go. Eventually we find a compromise I guess at like 75 or 76. Then the electric bill shows up. Usually it's like a hundred bucks, or less, the worst it's EVER been was like 130 or 150. It's 258 dollars. goddamnit

Roommate's probably just making sure the fertilized egg sac he implanted in your thorax last night has a chance to incubate properly. Don't be such a big jerk about it.

beat them up and make them pay the extra on the bill for setting your thermostat so high, gently caress them

set it to the right temp and just remove/file down the adjustment nub, they are easy as pie to mess with.

I'm in Ohio right now and everyone here is a huge wimp about the cold. Even if the house was heated to 80 degrees, you can bet they'd be wrapped in electric blanket on high next to a fireplace or something. I don't get it.

Set it to 67 and remove the thermostat. Or tell them they are responsible for any extra amount beyond the typical billing. If either of those doesn't work, try not living with a dipshit next time.

I don't think you're actually in Ohio. I'm in Ohio and we know how fireplaces work here.

Room mate ran a bitcoin mining rig in the spare room next to mine during the summer. After he left for work I covered that poo poo in a thick rear end blanket it to cause to overheat and shut down. Your rear end wont let the AC turn on at 85 degress but you'll run a bullshit bitcoin rig? Nahhhhhh son. Go gently caress your self. He blew 2 grand on that thing and it never ran for more than an hour. Your welcome cock sucker.

If either of those doesn't work, try not living with a dipshit next time. thats not how thermostats work. but you could wire in a different, secret thermostat and let them fiddle with the old one wondering why its not 80. or buy one of these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-Thermostat-Guard-CG511A/202024249

electric blankets during the winter are a much better and cheaper alternative

I modified all the registers to be basically closed in the house except for my drum room, which takes on the brunt of all cooling. There are ways to make the house at large much warmer than your room.
