For any woman who’s suffered through the frigidity of summer air conditioning in her office (it turns out office temperatures were regulated on the metabolic rate of men from the days when wearing suits was par for the course), the struggle to stay warm often includes scarves, sweaters, and possibly even an office blanket.
And while it may not provide any tangible warmth, the folks at College Humor have taken it upon themselves to deliver a Game of Thrones parody video that perfectly sums up the real issue of freezing offices in the summer, appropriately titled, “Women’s Winter Is Coming.”
The short video opens with the following narration: “When spring turns to summer and there’s blossom on the trees, the office air doth turns to ice and all the women freeze,” and shows three women shivering and shrouded in furs that would make the Stark family proud, while the men in the office are comfortably outfitted in shorts and short-sleeved shirts.
Much like the North, these women have the odds stacked against them when it comes to the perils of office temperatures. You can watch the hilarious parody video in full below.
