Larkaloke Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The heat. I hate it when it gets above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. It's awful. Marginally okay for sitting still in the shade at that temperature, but moving around -- unless in water -- is out of the question aside from necessity. The sun. It comes up around 5:00 AM, and it doesn't set until 9:00 PM. Too much of it. I luckily don't sunburn anywhere near as easily as most people with skin as pale as mine is, but my eyes are really light sensitive, and I end up having to wear sunglasses and a hat pretty much all the time when I go out in summer. It's so much nicer when the sun doesn't come up until 9:00 AM and sets around 5:00 PM... The humidity. Sure, my skin tends to crack a bit in winter when it's really dry, but I really don't like humidity. It makes everything feel even hotter. The dogs. People take their dogs bloody everywhere with them in summer. They seem to hold back a bit in winter, but anywhere I go in summer, it's dogs everywhere, and lucky if people even bother with a decent leash. The students. I live in a university town, and they only leave for a few weeks a year, but their drunken parties and propensity for rioting after college football and basketball events is by far the worst in the summer. Having to use air conditioning because I can't tolerate the heat, but I also feel bad about turning it on, so I only do it when it's really necessary (such as overnight, so I can sleep). And, of course, allergies. I seem to be allergic to most things that bloom, so although they're worst in spring, they generally continue until autumn (which is, in fact, my favourite season). Oh yes, and all the people who were griping about winter for the last half year or so and are now wanting me to enjoy summer, despite my having told them repeatedly that I like winter and am not looking forward to hot weather. Especially the ones who got annoyed at me for not complaining about the cold with them, even though I don't mind it and in fact prefer it to the heat (although really, somewhere around 55 degrees Fahrenheit is my ideal weather for being outside and active in, I'd much rather it be cooler than warmer).

Elizabeth Blossom/Jessica Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 When you go to the pool and people stare at you in your swimsuit. ALL OF THE BUGS!!! (Night time is the worst!) Your ice cream melts literally within seconds. If your car has black interior it feels like you're walking into a sauna. When you wear dark clothing you feel like you're being burned alive. What's worst of them all is seeing the poor, heavy fur coated dogs being walked in the excruciating heat and burning their paws on the sidewalk pavement. It's so sad! They're literally suffering!

Palovana Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Is it just people in the American South or do people drive infinitely stupider in the summer? Since the first week of May, I can't even drive 5 miles to the fucking grocery store and back without 3 or 4 or more cars cutting me off, pulling out in front of me, running stop signs, running red lights...I swear to god I'm afraid to even fucking leave my apartment during the day because I expect someone will hit my car and then run (has happened twice to me already since 2015 in North Carolina and I just witnessed it happen to someone a few weeks ago). North Carolina drivers are pretty negligent in general but I swear it's 100X worse in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites

Sarah-n-dippity Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ugh I hate summer literally unless I’m on holiday, it’s just too warm to walk around and go to work! I hate the fact you have to keep the windows open but then all the bugs fly in, and it’s hard to sleep at night and you can’t snuggle up in a warm jumper and drink a hot chocolate without feeling like you’re going to die! Also I either burn or stay as pale as a vampire so a tans out of the question 😛 Link to post Share on other sites
