It was a hot summers day, but we were not permitted to take off our jackets or remove our ties.
I opened a window by one of those turn handles. A female co worker , dressed in a blouse decided it was cold and wound the window back up. Like in that video, I opened it, and again she shut it, so I opened it and removed the handle.
She went to the manager and complained and he asked me to close it as she was his secretary and he needed her work.
I refused, pointing out that she could put her cardigan on if she was cold. He pleaded, but I refused, with the outcome that they swapped positions, with him sitting behind me and her working in his office. Game, set, and match.

I know it’s difficult for you scots to differentiate as you are prone to wearing ladies skirts.
