Operating Seat Temps

One thing I have been trying to work out for many years now is:

Why does a seat feel uncomfortable due to residual heat from other person when sitting back down in a seat with your own heat actually feels comfortable?

This is not limited to operating seats, it happens in all situations from trains, buses, toilets etc

Seats can be too hot. I took the 'Rapid' train from Narita into Tokyo last week and the seat heating was so hot it was uncomfortable. I had stuffed my bag under the seat which may have amplified the heating effect!

One's own

For the same reason your own "gas" is ok...others not so much.

Had a very sad case in only this morning.

Diagnosed a chap with an STI.

"I must have caught it off a toilet seat," he remarked.

"Well you must have been chewing it," I replied, "it's in your gums."



I expect that the real answer to your query is rooted in the narrow window that is homeostasis :-)
