Note to people:  If you see someone wearing a heavy coat or running a space heater at their desk…don’t look at them with an incredulous little look on your face and ask them if they’re cold.  If you’ve ever done this to someone, you may have noticed that person then trying to move the conversation along as quickly as possible.  This is because there are only two possible sarcasm-free answers to the question.

1) “Of course I’m cold.  Why else would I be using a space heater, you fucking idiot?”
2) “No, I’m not cold anymore.  I’m sitting in front of a space heater…you fucking idiot.”

Besides, you’re not asking because you genuinely want these obvious answers.  You just think that such a question is somehow less douchy than simply blurting out, “I think the temperature is mild in here and I fault you for disagreeing.”  (It’s not, by the way.)
