She was wearing loose yoga pants, a jacket with the hood pulled tight around her face, and using a towel as a blanket. Everyone but my family was huddled under towels. I had on a tank top and shorts. Every time my husband left to grab food, get a drink, or use the bathroom, the lady would mock me for being cold and wet, telling me I should have dressed appropriately. I was too hot! I sat in a spot to get sprayed by the ocean on purpose, I got soaked. There was a lot of wind, some light rain, and ocean spray, but it felt GOOD! Hawaii is too hot for me!
We saw neat cliffs, caves, waterfalls, dolphins, whales and goats!

Normalize telling people to mind their fucking business
Cptbluebeard7
Grew up in WA, lived in Hawaii. At no point was I ever cold enough to wear anything heavier than regular pants, and when it rained (Kailua-Kona) I absolutely loved being in it.

Oh wow, it's almost as if people don't have a uniform temperature response!
killergrooves85
This is when you say, “Bitch, I’m from Alaska.”
jesseCandyBaroness
I get the same reaction everywhere, “where’s your jacket!!” While I am trying to secretly dab at the sweat pouring down my hair line. I just put out a lot of heat, trust me, I’d rather be cold than sweaty
GBMaker
Throw an ice cube at her head.
Fitzapollo
All. the. time. I get people all "Aren't you cold?" and usually I'm not even really consciously aware of the temperature, let alone cold. Like... I'm sorry my metabolism and circulation are sufficient to keep me comfortable in most climates?
MasterChristopher
Pfft. Just because she can't keep HER nipples under control doesn't mean no one else can.
TheMoonBnuuy
where the hell is she from that Hawaii is too cold for her?
irishscorpio8888
Might be Hawai’i, but sounds like one ha’ole. Import that doesn’t belong.
cousteau
Some people simply make their goal in life to be an inconvenience to everyone else. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip though. I hope you were eating an ice cream.
HexStadium
Seriously weird that here, 72°f is considered comfortable room temperature. Like what does this lady keep her house temperature at? 109?
rouzuki
I don't know about other countries but it does indeed seem like America has no idea how to set its heating and especially air conditioning temperatures appropriately.
aderek79350
70F is T-shirt weather. Might seem cold if you are coming from 100F.
itstheendoftheworldasweknowitandifeelfine
I'm from the Midwest and have been visiting the southwest for the past week for some medicinal sunshine. But I've found that everyone else is wearing puffy jackets and knit hats while I'm wearing a T-shirt and sandals. It's all kind of relative.
OfallthestupididioticWTF
I remember my dad coming back after working in Ancorage
It was 20°F and he was wearing shorts and a tshirt outside saying it's soooo warm here
dunkum09
What kind of binoculars did you have to see Wales from Hawaii. its on the other side of the planet!
Drix1942
Curved ones. :)
Zinfandella
Oops, thanks pointing that out!
ImTired2
I actually had a similar experience. Im from the cold too and was on a fun boat tour off the coast of Washington west of Mt. Vernon in early winter. They offered these optional bulky jackets but I wasnt cold and didnt want to wear it and didnt bring a hat or gloves. I was comfortable and loved the feeling of the spray from the ocean. So much fun but other people couldnt just mind their own business and commented. There were a load of Orcas and Sea Lions and we even saw Otters and Bald Eagles
ImTired2
Not that it really matters but correction it was def Fall not Winter
LeifHietala
Native Minnesotan here. Around 70 I am on the edge of being too hot. 50-55 is my butter zone. 70? T-shirts at most.
3Davideo
Just moved to Minnesota recently, and absolutely! The people in my homeland of California just didn't understand my dislike of the unending heat and sun.
urusername2
People like that accuse others of things that they do. If she was huddled under a towel, she was dressed wrongly. And some people just take the cold better than others. Why do some people have to always run their mouths about others? Just Repuglican I guess!
solrev
Of you’re from anywhere near Fairbanks yall don’t get cold til -70.
AyatollahBahloni
From a friend of mine in Fairbanks last Thursday.
solrev
Prob still had shorts on. One of my favourite parts about Fairbanks is not only do all the parking spaces have power plugs, but people just straight up leave their cars running.
STGxDante
Worked as a deck hand in Flordia renting boats. We would get families from cold places like Norway all in shorts and short sleeve tees in the winter time. Some days they were our only customers because it was so cold out.
Neurisko
People who put their noses into what other people are doing, aside from asking if you need help, are weird and pathetic.
xcrit
I went to the Rainbow Mountains in Peru wearing shorts and a hoodie. Someone called me an idiot for not dressing warmer. I have thyroid issues so I always feel hot. I'm also from Florida and I told him I could easily set him on fire.
FaeVikingPrincess
Should point at her and laugh telling others that she should mind her own damn business.

minnesota farm boy here...shorts when it is 34 degrees

Florida man here... I don't own long pants so shorts all the time. Wore shorts my whole honeymoon which was in June including on the Rainbow Mountains in Peru which is 5000 meters up and listed as "June - August (Peak/Coldest): Coldest, driest, and highest visitor numbers. Expect very cold, sunny, and windy conditions."
3Davideo
I also live in Minnesota (now) and was called a true Minnesotan for wearing shorts in just-below-freezing weather. We both had a good laugh when I told them I had just moved from California a few months prior!
lifeisadadjoke
I shovel my driveway wearing a hoodie and shorts when it's -10C (14F). Yesterday, it was 8C (46F) and I was out for a couple of hours in t-shirt and shorts. Yes, I'm Canadian, and no, I don't find the extreme heat bad. In fact, I enjoy it a lot...having spent a lot of time in tropical weather too
Ryebread91
Went for a walk this morning while it was 55. Normally I'd need a jacket but since we're coming out of winter I had to take it off halfway through to keep from drenching my shirt I was so hot.
GreyKnightTemplar666
Hell, I was out in shirts and tshirt in 30° yesterday
3Davideo
That's particularly sensible in °C, too!
mrsdowneyjr
I went out in my back yard in a shirt and under pants yesterday, i think it was in the 50s.
GreyKnightTemplar666
Shorts and tshirt*
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
30 degrees F, C, or Kelvin?
GreyKnightTemplar666
F, I thought I had put that in there, apparently I did not.
TheSwedishMoose
Kelvin isn't measured in degrees
sometimesarobot
Fuck, 70 is HOT.
MyProfileIsIrrelevant
70-75 with a smooth breeze is my ideal climate honestly, the spray spot on the boat would be my jam too.
pareidoliaperson
21 c?? Not too cold whatsoever.
theshinobi23
70 is literally right around the center of the range of "room temperature" but I'm in shorts and still sweating at about 60. And I'm in Virginia, born and raised. Can't imagine how harsh it feels for someone that's used to Alaska weather...
HenryLongfellowIII
Especially in °C
jojagiraffe
Im in Western Australia. And we light the fire around that temperature!!!! Yikes
CarrionKitten
I get sweaty and uncomfortable at 68°F. Had a roommate in college who thought mid-70s was "chilly". Clearly, the gift of endothermy is not distributed evenly.
sometimesarobot
I suck at body temperature regulation
unluckyandbored
70F is generally pretty comfortable for most. 70C is pretty damn hot though
DimwitF
Seattleite, can confirm
GBMaker
Yeah, that lady is what we call a Karen. She's an export from the lower 49 states. I'm sorry you were exposed to her behavior.
somethingstupidandclever
Hold up. I agree lol. But i have to slip it in there that the first karen to ever be identified was Alaskan. She said she could see Russia from her house and once ran for vice president.
GBMaker
Oh, yeah. I remember her. I can't remember her name, though. Didn't she have a Minnesotan accent?
epithymetic
They exist in Alaska too, but they call them Palins. And when Alaska tried to export her, she was sent back
cusbuster
I read somewhere that since 2019, nobody in Canada has had their name registered as Karen.
GBMaker
Oof.
tylerlarson
FWIW @op, this is an indication that you're attractive enough that this lady saw you as a threat to people's perception of her by comparison.
So, every time she thought about you and how much she envied you, she had to respond to her own internal monologue with verbal attacks, completely oblivious to how the only real threat to her was actually herself.
Zinfandella
My husband also told me that. He said she was jealous I looked cute and that she was was just an "ugly, jealous, bitter cow." It was weird, I wasn't the only lady wearing shorts! But then the other women in shorts were staying inside the cabin of the boat, away from the rain and wind and spray, not out on the bow getting soaked.
tylerlarson
It's more than just physical attractiveness, though that usually is what starts it. Then it's also the visible freedom and carefree attitude that she wanted but can't picture herself being able to pull off.
She looked at you, pictured herself going out and enjoying the same thing, but realized she'd be freezing and miserable. So then she felt all sorts of clever and smug by loudly telling everyone about how cold and miserable you clearly must be and how smart she therefore is for staying back.
Zinfandella
Oh man, I can't even imagine being envious of someone having a good time. What a sad lady.
DukeDarkwood
It's because they're looking in the wrong place. A person who is always comparing themselves to other's happiness is not going to find their own. It's not a thing you can copy. You find it from within: you ask yourself what makes YOU happy.
Such introspection is a lot of work for people with this superficial point of view. In the same way that they assume anything bad happening is someone else's fault, they also think being happier than others is accomplished by tearing theirs down. (They also
Zinfandella
I mean, sometimes I might be like, "Lucky! I wish I had that!" But I'd also be like, "Good for them! That's awesome!"
InfocalypseRising
People who get cold easily seem to get really angry when other people aren't cold, for some reason
Blank1612
I always tell people is because of my viking heritage that I'm not cold. Its absolute bullshit, but for some reason people seem to accept that explanation.
NinjablazerZero
As someone who wears hoodies in 80 degree weather, I have the exact opposite experience.
People who can't handle hot weather will get angry at ypu for enjoying it, and make it your problem at all times when the weather is even slightly above 65.
Tengenstein
Yeah but they get to suffer being cold until they die, so there is that
NothingPrince
I was in Japan shots and shirt everyone else was rugged up. Then I heard thought you must be an Aussie and you guys are born differently.
ProjectDA
as someone thats too cold at 70. i have no issues with how youre dressed as long as its fine for you in that weather. this lady attacking OP is a cunt. im sure shed find any reason to shit on someone else.
Callynd
As someone who starts sweating at like 65, I agree with you. I just also refuse to go to Florida or Texas even if they had sane politics.
choppedliveraldente
Yeah 50 is I perfect for outside activities. If it's over 70 degrees im napping or sleeping. I'll see at 5am for dog walks.
kaoticgirl
Yet people who don't get cold easily seem to get really angry when people are cold. temperature is so devisive.
BoogaYooga
I'm just angry if it's summer and they keep asking to turn the a/c off while I'm barely able to think straight because I'm overheating
kaoticgirl
Ugh I loathe a/c, I'm so grateful I don't work in an office so that isn't an issue for me!
Butterupmybuttcheeks
I feel like until it affects someone's health, it's purely a matter of personal taste/tolerance. It definitely changes when it starts to have negative affects however. I go brain dead in heat as well. I call myself a wilting flower. My Scottish ancestry no likey the heat.
kaoticgirl
I call myself a desert flower. I find a cool breeze uncomfortable!
Butterupmybuttcheeks
Then beautiful flowers will be found all over!
thelonepig
I have health issues and I used to ONLY be freezing, like down to my core and now I ALSO randomly start roasting and sweat so much people ask me if I'm okay. Neither one sucks worse than the other, if you're wondering. (Maybelline Lasting Fix is a life saver tho, for my sweaty gals.) But I'm always aware it's just my body being insane and don't expect anyone else to change the thermostat.
WhatTheFrench
I’m 44 and have hit perimenopause, and the hot flashes are something new. I was sitting at work last week literally feeling sweat trickling in my hair, and my coworker next to be had her heated blanket switched on. A fan and easy access to cold drinks help.
applesforjuice
I get cold easily and... no? Who are the ones cranking the AC so that every restaurant, bar, and store is 50° when I dressed for the 85° weather outside? Not the people who get cold easily i can tell you that
BoogaYooga
You sound angry with people who don't get cold easily
applesforjuice
You got a point there. I did sound like that. My point was supposed to be that we aren't the ones forcing the cold on people. When it's nice out I gotta bring a hoodie to go inside because nobody can live with the heat, when it's cold I take care of myself and dress for it and don't complain. People who can't deal with the heat make it everyone's problem, but maybe that's just because I live in the northeast.
BoogaYooga
Eh, I've lived the opposite, It's a nice cool day and I'm comfortable with a t-shirt and someone cranks the heat up while still wearing long sleeves and a jacket and I can't simply take my clothes off.
BoogaYooga
Our social norms define that more clothes is always OK, but there are limits to how underdressed one can be. That is what's imposing "the cold" over everyone
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
Literally nowhere sets the thermostat to 50 as that would be a giant block of ice by the end of the day meaning no cooling inside.
MadnerKami
I know right? I'm working in a physically hard job and generally do not react well to high temperatures in the first place, so I usually run around in shorts and t-shirts even in winter. The amount of people who feel a need to comment on that in disparaging ways is staggering. Why? Why do you feel it's your concern to judge how I percieve the temperature?! It's non of your fucking business!
PrincessAris
This is also true for people who get hot. I basically never get hot. I went to Disney World in August wearing jeans and a leather jacket. People were getting so mad at me for walking around all day like that while they were sweating to death in shorts and t-shirts.
roflTiMeX
what is this super power?!
BatsArentBugs
#NotAllHotBodies listen, I get it, but not all of us extremely hot people care at all about you. I don’t care about anyone that’s not me. I’m extremely hot.
InfocalypseRising
As a chronically-damp individual I kinda get it, but at some point I just accepted that I run hotter than most and it's just some shit I gotta deal with
Thatknifeguy
I am in the same boat. When it's hot I am just always slightly moist. I like winter and cold weather and the summer before it starts trying to kill me
ChaosInherent
Yeah, we get the winter for ourselves, it evens out

circlebreaker
"Look at this asshole with a big mouth, I bet that you can fit two whole billiard balls in your stupid f***hole no problem" is a great way to get fresh with someone who's used to running their mouth off with perfect strangers (presumably you), [i]especially[/i] if you think they're the type to overreact to dialed-up insults. Getting them to flip out while you play it cool is key though, as is the audience, so I guess don't say it if there are kids, nuns or a Pope in the room?
xfunk
I threw two double cheeseburgers at a McDonald’s managers tit and called her a bald cunt before exiting by kicking the door almost off its frame.
TerminalInterface
what everyone said, it feels good, your homework today is to make the word bloom with crass words you Velcro to your insult, make glitter and drool come out bright. study some New Zealand methods, add a nasty adjective to your viper strike. make them cry or bust out laughing. make it YOURS
PotatoPirateTheThird
while completely legal, you can still be banned or kicked out of places for doing it. so use it wisely
hyptosis
Yeah, you just can't threaten to kick them in the cunt!
"I'm gonna kick your cunt!" << Don't do this, it's assault!
"You are a cunt!" << SAFE! Have fun out there!
hyptosis
And if you ACTUALLY kick them in the cunt, that's battery!
SharkoutofWata
But if they swing at you for calling them a cunt, hoof em right in the front butt. But actually try to resist that urge and let them fall on their dumb face all on their own.
genericuser010180
The correct terminology is "cunt punt"
ThatOtherMacAvoyWoman
….This is me realizing threats are considered assault
BenderRodriguz1010
This is why I give invitations. I clearly state "this is not a threat, this is an invitation to try to solve whatever problem you have." I am not saying to do this. I am dumb and not to be mimicked.

Also legal to tell them to shut their stupid cock holster!
mabbo
My preferred technique: ask them if this is a sex thing. Like, do you get off on doing this to people? Some kind of fetish? Remind them that consent is important. Do this all loudly enough that they feel awkward enough to leave.
Samthetrue
That only works until you hit the person who does get off on embarrassing situations. Humiliation and degradation are certainly kinks.

Isn't that more so just calling them "foreigner" or "non-native"? Can it mean asshole in some contexts?

Mom got banned from grandma's doctor's office because of calling the receptionist a cunt.
After grandma passed, I had to go in to get some paperwork because of that (dad was at work), and as soon as I got back to the car I just said to mom, "Yeah, I see why."
dracklen
Understandable for some people. That said, verbal and physical abuse of medical care staff is at an all time high. So I can understand if mostly the cunts are making it through that :(
Syovere
Yeah, I'm unfortunately familiar with that - so's mom, since she works in nursing and has for most of her life. It takes a lot to push her to that point, she can calmly deal with all sorts of bullshit normally.
