Temperature Sweater Puts Annoying People in Their Place
Posted by Sean Fallon at 3:00 AM on October 11, 2008
You're sitting there freezing your arse off and someone comes up to you and says "cold enough for ya' today?" then laughs. If you have ever been in this situation you know how annoying it can be. Thanks to the temperature sweater you can reply by extending your arm, pointing to the temperature gauge on your wrist that is clearly displaying 2 degrees Fahrenheit, then turn up your hand and extend your middle finger.

Couldn't they just make a temperature gauge that fits on any sweater/shirt cause that sweater is pretty ugly

@ideaman2020: Doesn't really matter. 93 degrees seems much to warm to be wearing a sweater.

Depending on the placement of the probe/sensor, can this also be a fertility sweater?

I see the display, but I wonder where the temperature sensor is...

Then, because no smart-ass likes being proved wrong, they punch you in the mouth. Skip straight to the middle finger, it's safer that way.

It'll probably be like my watch with temperature gauge. It always says between 87 to 93 when its cold out because your body warms it up. You have to take it off for 15 minutes according to the manual before it will read correctly.

I'll just buy one of those plastic thermometers that people put on the wall and stick it on the sleeve of my sweater.

@Killjoy: Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was punched in the mouth - and I shut down smartasses all the time.

You've got a point, er, two points there.

@Killjoy: I got my front teeth knocked out by my Ex with a pool toy. Does that count?

You dont need a gauge to ask a woman in a tight sweater if she is cold.

haven't you already decided it's too cold when you put on the sweater?

One of the lesser known jobs of many Sysadmins is that of Keeper of the Thermostat Key.
Working in an office with many employees of the cant efficiently maintain their body temperature sex; I am frequently caught in the middle of the Thermostat Wars.
Being able to quickly prove that "its the exact same temperature now as it was 5 minutes ago when you said you were too hot" sounds great!

No, but a ruler might tell you just how cold she is...

I was hoping this article was about clothes which changed color to reflect your temperature, like those little cards where you hold your thumb on them and they turn a color which is supposed to represent your mood.
