* In one of the Treehouse of Terror episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Homer misunderstands the note left on the Springfield Elementary School thermostat reading "Do Not Touch - Willy" as "Do not touch Willy" and cranks it all the way up. The sudden change in level causes the furnace to belch out flames, killing Groundskeeper Willy and turning him into an expy of [[Film/NightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]].

A rich person who throws tantrums about changing the thermostat is likely TheScrooge, and if not they are CuttingCorners. One of the two might just be a Thermal Dissenter. Or perhaps they are [[GreenAesop an environmentalist type]] with some justifiable concerns about how much energy it wastes to heat the building. The person who wants to change the thermostat obviously has ThermalDissonance with the miser. And of course, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a point of contention with an OddCouple.
