In addition if you take a photo of the thermometer it is easier to prove to customer relations, should you decide to complain afterwards after the crew members fail to take action to lower the temperature, that the cabin was indeed at a certain temperature which renders more passengers uncomfortable. If you just say "it was too hot", there is no evidence to back up your complaint.
I agree with FP, even though it is not a proper 'solution' and it is just a band-aid fix. I prefer to be proactive and take a positive action to make myself comfortable than put up with it, because it is far more productive for my comfort than complaining about it afterwards.
That is way too crazy for me. I ask the crew to keep/turn the temperature down. Sometime they respond, like the truly excellent CSM on my flight TO Johannesburg who said, on my shift it is cool. But I am not going to start carrying fans or thermometers with me. And yes, I still reserve the right to complain about temperature both onboard and on here, notwithstanding that.
