Worst things about summer - Complain about summer woes here

I mostly love summer but
-Mosquito allergies! Along with itching I get a nice puffy blister that can disgust everyone around me and occasionally a mild fever.

-I'm far too Irish to be going outside in direct sunlight without either frying or getting a embarrasingly bad farmer's tan.

-I live in a touristy area so theres all sorts of people everywhere with no idea where they're going or why you're not supposed to feed the birds ( they will try to murder you) and no idea that it's a punchable offence to leave dirty diapers on the beach.

The heat won't get bad here till it gets over 100, till then I'm enjoying it. The only thing I hate about summer is kids running around and cicadas. I hate getting woken up by cicadas.

Things I hate about summer...

1. Heat and Humidity, especially since I live in the South

2. Mosquitos, I know it's a cliche answer but it's true.

The only positives about the summer for me is that my birthday is in the early part of it and I do most of my work in the summer, so I usually have more disposable money around that time.
 
The heat and those little red bitchwhores with wings * wasps *.
At least your place doesn't have to deal with tiger bees and yellow-jackets everywhere.
Also, the heat can be a pain when I work in this heat for sure, but I can get a good amount of recyclables this time of year since people are drinking like fishes to keep cool.
And before you ask, I know that if I try to get a job, I'll just get passed up by a family member or friend of an employer's employee and they'll hire them instead. How "Equal opportunity employment" allows for nepotism, I'll never know.
 
I forgot about yellow jackets. We just got rid of a nest the other day. Damn yellow jackets trying to get in the house.
At least it wasn't a cloud of bees like our summer two years ago.
There was a cloud of bees in the backyard and they were all there as a hive had been formed in the tree at my house's backyard. Doesn't help that the person living here was BBQ'ing at the time, either. I only heard of it after hearing buzzing and seeing the other person living in my house freak out about the dark, buzzing cloud.
Luckily we managed to summon a beekeeper that got the hive out of our tree and took the hive with him.
 
When you poop and your butt sweat makes it hard to stay in the same position on the toilet, therefore making it hard to wipe if you're a between-the-legs wiper

I laughed a lot harder at this than I should have. Laughing at your summertime woes was wrong of me :p

1. The humidity
2. Mosquitoes
3. Having to call someone to help you with car trouble when the heat index is 100 degrees
4. Buying a slushie at the gas station and it melting after you've been in the car for two minutes. The heat destroys everything you could usually use for relief
5. It's literally oppressive how bright it is
6. Sometimes if I'm in the sun for too long it can give me anxiety
7. Public pools suck
8. Sweating, even when the AC in the car is on high
9. Everyone you hate talking about the vacation they took
10. People mowing their lawn constantly
11. Not sleeping as well
 
The heat and bright sun. And incessant summer sports. I spent summers in Australia. Cricket. Baseball on valium.
Summer gives me headaches. Thank god for reverse cycle air con and panadeine forte. I do not get too much humidity. But that would kill me.
And while I'm sperging, butt ugly people who don't wear enough clothes and their repulsive goblin children. Though, while I'm waiting for the codeine to cut in I do wonder how fat people manage sex. I wonder that about kangaroos too. The heat makes my mind go to strange places.

Have you tried buying a fountain drink from the same place or just using a cooling hat instead?
The former can be cheaper than the ice slushes. Especially if you are just going to a convenience store.
 
(unless it’s dark out, but even then it’s really hot)
Welcome to life above the arctic circle. If you don't like the light close your eyes until winter comes, when you open them you will think that you've gone blind.

Fuck the arctic. Oh it's so hot, let's go swim, but the last ice on the lakes melted three weeks ago so it's ice cold in the water and way too hot on the land, the temperature delta is just too big. It's bullshit. I think the heat record for the water was 10c/50f at one point.
The best time to go swimming is mid april, if there's no wind the sun warms your skin ever so slightly. The water is still full of ice and cold as hell but in that weather you expect it so there's no big surprise when jumping in, it doesn't shock your system.

And the mosquitoes, they spawn from pools of still water. Guess what there's a lot of when ten feet of snow covering a billion square kilometers of land melts?

The spring is horrible as well and at least there are no insects in winter but that's only because winter is incredibly hostile to life itself.

Autumn, both weeks, is alright though.

(one day I will move back there, I miss it)

Same thing happened to my mom a couple summers ago, just a huge swarm of bees in her backyard. The nest we got under the car port had about ten yellow jackets in it. Little fuckers.
