We used to live in this really old cavernous Victorian house in England, which got really cold in the winter. However, our parents told us to never touch the thermostat or it would cause the house to blow up. It tooks me YEARS (like till I was in the mid-20's) before I could comfortably touch the thermostat without thinking my life was in danger.
