My wife always cranks the thermostat to one extreme or the other, then manually turns the fan down when it gets too hot/cold. I just set the temperature to what I want it to be and leave everything else on auto.

Just wait until she gets to be a lady of a ācertain age.ā Too hot, too cold, open the windows, turn up the heat, whatever! 
something i question annually
yet so many Squadrons or Sector Commanders choose this as the default option
I have always been against an ATC Parade, if only because its February and the weather is predictably against the idea
i have always followed one of the other aims of the ATC to foster an interest in aviation and organised a trip to the local aviation/military themed museum. it is not weather dependant and ticks the box for āservice engagementā at a time of year which works!

mine does in this in the car - āi am too coldā so switches off the a/c - rather than turn the temperature dial up

TIL! How do you go about doing this?
Or turning it up to 28 in the hopes itāll warm up quicker?
Thatās my struggleā¦

My wife and her obsession with best before dates.
Two days in a row Iāve gone to have my tea only to discover that the sauce I want has been binned for being āout of dateā.
Yesterday I had a Sausage sandwich without hot pepper sauce and today I had cheese on toast without any Worcestershire sauce!

I would never think to check such things for dates, but then again I only throw stuff away when there is visible mould or milk is too lumpy to pour.
Ahh I see that your Ms. And mine know each other

Neither would I, which makes their absence from the fridge even more suprising to me. The pepper sauce is basically vinegar and chilliās itās not going to go off, itās going to live longer than I am!

Worcestershire sauce is 2 years old before it is bottled. The older it gets the better it tastes.
Its like putting a best before date on mild cheddar cheese. one year later is is vintage cheddar

4 new shoes for the car in one hit. Oooompf.
As such, the back wheels will be rocking budgets for the foreseeable!

āIt says BEST BEFOREā, not āUSE BYā - and even then, it doesnāt say āconsume this by this day, or you WILL die a grizzly deathā¦ā or worseā¦

Judging my the noises my body makes in the morning - Iām definitely past my best before date - and can only dream of being āused byāā¦
Hoping to be recategorised as classic or vintageā¦ unlikely to be described as matureā¦ but determined not to become antiqueā¦ perhaps āretroā
By accident or design (Mrs Jās car has just needed a new one - Ā£160 - screw in the sidewall), our cars work out to 2 tyres about every 18 months or so, rather than 4 on one car in one hit. That said, we arenāt high mileage drivers, more or less around 15,000 / yr (or less).
Car servicing + tyres = some of the items we put 
aside every month.
Mrs BF and myself had a very similar arrangement over the last few years - normally changing 2 tyres for one of the cars every 12-18 monthsā¦ which has worked brilliantly and ensured we donāt get stung by 4 at once.
Unfortunately, a puncture and a pothole meant it knocked the system sync - and we didnāt realise at the time that it would collide with all 4 needing replacing at the same time down the line!!!
