   There is an expectation thing, too.  My wife was sitting in the cold   
   because she said she didn't know how to turn up the smart thermostat.   
   "Here, twist this thingy (grabs big ring on thermostat) and this   
   needle thing points to the temperature and these numbers...".  She   
   expected it to be hard but it was just like any other.
