Having used a lot of Celsius and metric in college sciences, they don’t bother me so much. But when it comes to certain applications, I’m more used to farenheight. For example temperature as it relates to human comfort.
Like I know 35 c is hot, and anything in the 40+ is miserable. But I also know I prefer temperatures to be in the 72-75 range for optimum comfort and thus have to do a bit of math if I need that in Celsius.
Fahrenheit is nice for the ten degree ranges when talking. “Tomorrow it will be in the 70s”. The entire range of the 70-79 is fairly nice and similar. Every ten degree range is meaningful and different. “Tomorrow it’s in the 90s! :(”
European here! For me it’s…
Celcius:
0 = Water freezes
100 = Water boils
Fahrenheit as far as I can tell:
~100 = Hot enough that it shows up on the news
~400-450 = Cooking, because our stove is in Fahrenheit for some unknown reason.
All other temperatures in F = no idea.
Fahrenheit
0 = Well below freezing, about as cold as it gets anywhere that isn’t frozen year-round. Dress like you’re climbing Everest.
25 = Just below freezing, very cold but not record breaking anywhere people own snow shovels. Bulky jacket and gloves.
50 = Cold to cool, depending on your baseline. Put on a thick sweater or a jacket.
75 = Perfect, slightly above room temperature. T-shirt and shorts.
100 = About as hot as it gets anywhere that isn’t a desert. Tank top and sunscreen, and stay in the shade.

The main Fahrenheit I know is -40F.
Mostly because its also -40C.
