Palovana Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 A thread for my fellow summer haters. Currently: - Nail polish never dries completely - My skin is really dry because of the need for constant A/C - Frozen foods only stay half-frozen in the freezer - Sweaty armpits no matter how much deodorant you apply - Getting sunburned while driving to work and back - Allergies - The humidity is so oppressive it's sometimes hard to breathe - Getting ogled by random dudes in public because anything other that a tank top is intolerably warm - Hot tea doesn't taste as good - The sun is blinding until 9 PM - It's not September yet Link to post Share on other sites
AbyssGaze Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Uuugh, the heat and the sweat is horrible in summer... x___x Link to post Share on other sites
Bandrailian Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 All your friends are suddenly off travelling or went home for the summer. Most recently this summer has marked our graduation and so we've all gone our separate ways. The heat has a habit of making me feel pretty sick too. Also, I hate wearing shorts.

The Sad Ghost Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The heat! 20 C is too hot for me. But then there is always that one cold wind that makes you into ice. So like, shorts or not?! And ugh, people who leave their dogs in cars "iT WaS JuST fOr 10 MinUtES". I also HATE sweating. And mosquitoes!!!! Winter is simply the best. Link to post Share on other sites
Mae 🌼 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm much more of an autumn/winter kind of person -Having to shave legs -Wasps and bugs -Too hot to sleep -Constant sticky humidity -Overheating regardless of what you're wearing Blergh Link to post Share on other sites
Gloomy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 -Higher electric bill because of the need for A/C. -More sun. -It’s during daylight savings time. -I start feeling naked and exposed after a couple of months of having to wear tank tops and shorts. -Wildfires sometimes start in the area I live in if it gets too hot and dry.

WinterWanderer Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I hate summers where I live especially.... Getting mosquito bites every time you go outside Every park or pool is too packed to enjoy Inevitably, you get weird tan lines (or patches of sunburn) My electric bill increases by at least $20 (although hopefully not as much this year, because I got some blackout curtains) The greenery shrivels up and dies because even the plants can't take the heat Random, giant insects find their way inside Spider webs everywhere Link to post Share on other sites

Homer Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 - it's bright all day - it takes all my energy to do basically anything... how are people more energetic when it's hot outside? - sun causing drowsiness - you get to see things in public that should definitely remain unseen - this is a picture of my arms after 10mins in the sun - no gingerbread available So yeah.

Palovana Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Uuuugh yes THE INSECTS. Oh my god, when I lived in Florida it was the worst, the insects there grow to like giant mutant size and always somehow come in the house no matter how many precautions you take. Quote it takes all my energy to do basically anything... how are people more energetic when it's hot outside? I don't understand this either. Just going to the grocery store and back makes me exhausted in summer, or running any errands really. I come home and crawl into bed and feel like I need to nap for an hour or two. The heat completely drains my energy. Link to post Share on other sites

Waaaah I still remember a vacation in Denmark 25 years ago. The mosquitoes were so bad, I looked like I had measles Link to post Share on other sites
EggplantWitch Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 BUGS. BUGS. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS. But yeah, also sweat pouring out of my armpits and other even more unsightly places. I'm on medication that messes with my ability to thermoregulate so I have, more than once, been reduced to doing literally nothing but sitting in a bath full of cold water to make my temperature drop even a little. Britain = no air conditioning. Also also: having to put up with people who like the summer Link to post Share on other sites
Palovana Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Oh, and also, there's no comfortable temperature anywhere. You're either freezing to death in every building you go to because they have the A/C cranked to 50F so it's like an icebox, or you're dying of heat stroke outside. No middle ground. You're fucked either way. Link to post Share on other sites

fuzzipueo Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 things I don't like about summer and one I do like: It's dry heat so sweat just evaporates. The downside is the amount of water you need to drink to replace the sweat. Sometimes, I think we ought to be wandering around in stillsuits .... Things I don't like about summer: Too much sunlight The UV index in NM is really high Daylight savings time is a (cruel) joke and the days are too long Sometimes the sunlight is too bright The heat Link to post Share on other sites

Cimmerian Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Echoing the clothing sentiment. There is very little I want to wear that is actually acceptable and comfortable/ non-suffocating in summer. And my favorite clothes are all fall/winter clothes. >.< Other things I hate: - Very hot temperatures - Everyone arranging outside activities in said hellish temperatures. - Humidity + heat = gross, sweaty weather that makes you tired much faster than normal. - All of the bugs, mosquitos, cicadas, wasps, bees... - Allergies - Not having a personal open pool to cool down in (public pools are always too crowded). - Swimsuits. - Daylight Savings Time.

Palovana Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 I always get sick in summer, right when the weather starts to get really humid. This is the third summer in a row. Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Carolynne Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The heat, it's just exhausting. I don't handle it well. Annoying bugs. Mosquitoes, wasps, and house flies. The kids aren't in school, teenagers in general are particularly annoying. It's too warm for long sleeves and jackets. Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, I don't use baby powder, but when I jog or want to take a long power walk, I can't just wear shorts. I have to wear spandex under shorts (if that's even a term), or risk a thigh rash from the chafing. -Actually, guys who wear skin tight spandex body suits, not realizing that unlike women, that they have body parts that are not covered by a bra, protruding. Made all the more annoying if they're against wearing underwear underneath. I'm a live and let live type, so if you do this on your own time--whatever. If I'm stuck in a lineup in a grocery store, and you're the customer in front of me stretching shamelessly, to boot. Why?!! Also, I hate the: "then don't look" crowd, when you obviously avoid looking, after noticing them walking up to the conveyor belt to place your items in the first place. The damage is already done. -Taking the bus, due to not wanting to drive downtown, and regretting it when you're stuck next to an insanely smelly and sweaty person who's crotch and armpit stank is just radiating through. If we're talking booty stank to boot, I'll just excuse myself and sit elsewhere. My tolerance is only so high. I'm unfortunately the least subtle person, if you smell bad. I won't even make an attempt to hide my grimacing. -No problem with those who use AC all summer, and hate the hot stuff. This I understand in full. Some seasons aren't for everyone. My problem are the fellow Canadians that complain all winter. Can't wait for summer, based on their boats and many complaints. Spring time, they let out a collective sigh (and talk about the: "about time", during small talk), but not good enough--they want summer. Only to crank their AC, and complain about how hot it is, on a constant basis O_o Link to post Share on other sites
