Some other places like restaurants and so on can also be severely over-cooled but I always assume that's for the comfort of the folks working in the kitchen.

I'm 39 and very much looking forward to when my internal thermostat changes as I age. As it stands now if I go to bed in a room warmer than 75 - even if I'm just in my boxers and have a light sheet on - I wake up in a pool of my own sweat. I'm really only comfortable in rooms set at 68 or less. I loathe being outside in the summer as well.
