I've tried and tried to get my wife to understand that if the thermostat is set at 65 and she wants it to be 70, then she simply needs to set the thermostat to 70. Yet, despite all my efforts, she still jacks it up to 75 or whatnot thinking it's going to get to 70 quicker. It not only gets to 70 (in the same amount of time it would have had she followed my advice) but it's soon 75 and my wife is then turning the thermostat back to 65 to get it to 70 quicker. Round and round this goes, where it will end nobody knows.
Am I the only one with this problem? I also have a sore head from from banging it against a wall?  |
In engineering slang terms. an on/off system like a furnace is known as a "bang-bang control system"

So yeah, your head mashing seems appropriate
