I live near a university that attracts quite a few international students/lecturers and I’ve often witnessed the exact opposite of this. You’re outside in the middle of summer, trying not to die of a heat stroke, when a obviously non-native person walks by wearing a winter coat and a hat.
Yep I saw some Indians near Atlanta who were wearing big coats when it was just a hair below 70 F outdoors. I was out there loading stuff into my car in shorts and a T-shirt and they looked at me funny.
The opposite of that, that I also saw was my portly Eskimo friend, who was in shorts and a T-shirt in the actual winter time when I needed a big coat. He was like "You think this is cold?"
I mean room temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) so wearing shorts and T-shirt should be the norm imo. If it isn't colder outside than inside, why put on more clothes?
When the hell did room temperature drop to 68°F?! Back in my day room temperature was 78°F. Has it always been 68? I’m either feeling old or I’m misremembering room temperature.
