people who were t shirts outside in this weather

yesterday as i was walking down the town there was a guy dressed in a short sleeve t shirt it was freezing and there was flurries of show...he didn't seem bothered ...

what do you think the story is with people like that ..they doesn't feel the cold for some reason ..some sort of endurance test...they lost there coat and all there winter clothes in a freak accident and cant afford new ones due to the recession.. some sort of mental illness..

I wear t-shirts in this weather. They may be under several other layers but I'm still wearing them

tommmy1979

I do that sometimes if i don't have to go far... ya sure it gets a bit uncomfortable but it reminds you that you're alive

Biggins

LOL
Saw a young lad (17 approx) yesterday going to school with no coat, jumper wrapped around his neck and shirt wide open to the -3 temp.

Thought it was strange to say the least.

Yeah. I hate people who used to be t shirts.

where i work there's one office full of wimminz, they've free reign on the AC controls and have it running at about forty degrees in there and some of them would be wearing more than one layer plus scarves:eek:... this is more mental in my opinion

It was me, I am looking for Sarah Conner.

My ex always wears a t-shirt in this weather. Apparently he doesn't feel the cold.

MrPudding

I usually wear t-shirts all the time, don't really feel the cold. But then, I am quite fat, so I have that whole seal thing going on...

they tend to be Canadians, they dont take our winter seriously at all

The alcohol keeps you warm inside.

citizen_p

i dress according to if im warm or not....

my mates must have terrible circuation...because somtimes im just wearing a shirt and they would have a jacket and gloves on.

OSiriS

Maybe they exercise. I was wearing a jumper outside up until last week when my bad back started acting up. Now, first thing in the morning when I get up, I do 20 minutes of warmup exercises and stretching which raises my body temperature to the extent that it's uncomfortable to wear a jumper, even in 2 or 3 degrees.

Probably trying to be a hard man. he was probably freezing!

I'm a bit like this, never knew how to explain it. I was outside today in a tshirt, playing in the snow with the dog, didn't even occur to me that it was cold.

Might be some sort of metabolism thing, I eat easily 3,000 calories a day but don't put on weight. I also spontaneously combust if the temperature rises above 15 degrees in the summer.

Excellent point. I often wonder about these clowns, usually hicks too.

I don't get how people can do that. I mean it's not overly cold here temperature wise compared to other places but it's still freezing to me. Just came back from the shops and i had about 6 layers of clothing on. Felt like people were looking at me for being overly dressed. Guess it's my tropical blood.

Lilt for blood? Cool.

Always assumed people did it just to look cool (geddit?), and secretly they're bloody freezing.

People are idiots. Fact.

I'm the same, winter is nice, summer is hell.

Unfortunately I eat about 4,000 calories a day so I'm a fat ****.

Summer was hell even when I was skinny though, so it's not a fat thing.

scottledeuce

I was wearing just a t-shirt out and about today,
Mostly due to the fact that I left a -20C climate yesterday and still had my thermal underwears on

I've just been asking myself now, why do people wear about 5 layers and then just a pair of jeans along with that...Your going to lose just as much heat that way!

I don't think I'm going to change either, I like wearing just a t-shirt and from reading this thread if people think I'm hard then good stuff

I wish. Totally tropical is a whole other level.

Because flu prone organs such as the lungs dont reside in your legs!

*plans to bump this thread on the hottest day of next year to confuse people.

cardio,shoot me

i wear t-shirts and shorts in the cold, i get sweaty in jackets, you adapt to the cold after like 10 minutes and it doesnt bother you

Tar.Aldarion

Because some of us randomly dont feel cold. its cool. Am cold sometime though!

mukki

i shared a room with a guy who hated the heat,

he used to sleep with the window open, after a wet night his bed, carpet and curtains would be soaked, one morning there was snow blowing in on him

he kept turning off the oil, we saved a fortune


remember people ignore your grannys.... colds and flues come from viruses and are not from being out in the cold
(well okay skin blood flow rate slows which can help them multiply, but if your out walking that won't happen)

Or you might start to suffer from hypothermia.

cc-offe

I'm one of those people, never feel the cold, can't explain why....my hands are always freezing though, at one point in the last few years I lost about half a stone which put me into the underweight category and I have to say I was freezing all the time but now that i'm at my normal weight I'm never really cold

I have a mate who grew up in northern Finland. When I told him it was snowing out, he laughed. Snow to him is about 10 foot deep in -30c temperature. Anything less than that is just mild weather.

So, the guy you seen was probably from some sub-arctic location.

My Mum used to say that to me when I was younger, "Don't just wear a t-shirt out, people will think you're stupid." To which my reply was always "Why would anyone care what I'm wearing?".

Clearly I was wrong...

I remember hearing a radio programme about winter in Siberia where kids used to eat ice cream outdoors when it was minus 55 degrees just to demonstrate how "hard" they were.

WTF is with women and having to have thing's so hot all the time.

minidazzler

I will usually be seen in shorts and t-shirt in any weather, I do feel the cold, but moreso when I am fully clothed than when in Shorts and T-shirt.

I don't think anybody cares much, it's just curiosity.

Come the end of the world through global warming or global cooling we'll find out who was right and who was wrong.

Jumper wearing puffs.

Danbo!

I do this. When I walk from my office to the shop at lunch im always being stared at from people in 8 jackets and scarves, gloves, etc. I just dont feel the cold. Im not a fat bastard, but once it passes 10 degrees I sweat buckets, cant stand the heat at all.

JohnCleary

I spent all day in a tshirt today, no bother. I generally only wear tshirts whenever i'm moving. I only use a jacket if i'm standing there still for a long time.

Having said that, i'm the kind of person who goes swimming on Christmas day for the craic, most of my hobbies involve being outdoor and i scuba dive in Ireland... so maybe it's just that my body is used to the cold? Who knows

-Edit- I'm not a fattie either, think i'm like 21.2% body fat which is perfectly normal for someone my age

The only thing I'm wearing at the moment is a T-Shirt and it's below zero outside.

Yes, I'm a freak.

I wear a tshirt and a light thin jacket opened up and no hat or scarf, I cant wear a coat, I'd overheat. I dont mind the cold, hate the warm weather unless your playin sport and its ok to sweat.

Ive worn tshirts in this weather but it makes you look a bit weird, need a 2nd layer, I can fit my jacket in my jeans pocket
