Many years back someone where I work was provided with her very own

What's really sad is when some idiot pries one of those expensive
plexiglas shields off a dummy thermostat, damaging the wall and shield
in the process then thinks the room is actually warmer.

At one time my mother was always complaining that she was cold, and I
convinced her that it was all in her mind. I had just got out of the
service after a year in Alaska where it was below -20 for most of the
year. After a couple weeks I never saw her shivering, or heard her
complain, yet the thermostat hadn't moved. And no, she wasn't old enough
to be having hot flashes.
