I really hate when I am sitting waiting for boarding to finish and the overhead lights on my side of the aisle go off and the ones on the other side are on. Also I hate if it is roasting hot or freezing cold. Why does that stuff happen, anyway?
I am guessing that you know it is too hot, or cold or the lights on one side are off and you probably aren't doing it as a joke. So just let us know that you know and why it is and when it will get better.
Most, if not all, of the cabin lighting is controlled by the FAs, not the pilots. As for temperature, the cockpit is zoned differently than the various cabins, and they may not know how hot/cold you are. Let an FA know about the temp, and they will pass along the info to the pilots, who are in their own little box.
