The heating in my house is pretty retarded, and I live in a fucked up snowy place. We don't have control over the heating, the housing company does. The heating is designed so, that when it gets colder out, the heating gets hotter (duh).
The problem is, the heating system is a fucking slowpoke. It's always a week late. If it gets really cold, the heating doesn't change a bit. Then, it gets a little warmer, and suddenly the heating system realizes: Oh shit, it was cold last week! I should boil this house down! And THEN, when the heat would be actually needed when it gets colder again, the heating system goes all: oh well, it was rather warm last week. Better turn this shit down.
And it goes on and on and on.
