Why I Hate Summer, by Pollux

Post Reply New Topic

I hate summer because it is hot and hard to breath. I hate summer because I hate to sweat. I hate summer because I don't wear shorts, so I wear jeans, and then I get thigh sweat and feel like I peed in my pants all day. I hate summer because I'm terrified of bees. I hate summer because I have allergies and I spend the entire season scratching and being itchy. I hate summer because it no longer means summer vacation, it just means working the same as every other freaking day. I hate summer because a lot of times the sun is too bright and it hurts my eyes. I hate summer because I hate humidity because it makes me feel moist all the time, and not only do I hate feeling moist, I just really hate the word "moist". I hate summer because people arrange events where you have to eat outside, and I hate eating outside. I hate summer because I always want to swim and submerge myself in cold water, but I won't because I don't go into public pools. I also don't go into lakes or streams or rivers or oceans. On a positive note, this summer my mom's friend is opening her backyard pool, which she keeps compulsively clean and sanitary, and it's not open to the public or anything. But I still hate summer. I hate summer because all the stupid parents of kids in school call my bookstore asking if we have their kid's summer reading books, and the kids never do it themselves. I hate summer because the stupid kids complain about having to read, when I would be happy to have the time they have to lounge around and do nothing but read. I like summer because at least I don't have to drive in snow, but that's the only reason I can think of right now.

Other than the bookstore part, I could have writtten this myself!

I despise summer, for all of the reasons you mentioned - the only good thing about summer is that I can get decent mangoes.

I hate the heat, humidity, and the brightness of the sun but other than that, summer isn't so bad.

I luv summer but the kind of summer where isn't so hot. I get season depression with winter. Plus I like to grow some things outside my house.

..and daylight is saved!!

I hate the sun . I wish i lived in a colder place, even in winter its sunny and hot here.

I don't mind the summer. I like the sunshine, and I can do more walking, than in the winter. I just wish that summer would come.

^That's another thing. I like to get outdoors and be able to walk without freezing and falling on my behind.

Plus I like the fresh smells of nature.

Well, when I still lived in a house I loved growing tomatoes and flowers!

(which made HEAT and HUMIDITY no better at all! )

But now that I'm back in the city I can't do that anymore, so all I have is the heat, humidity, and tasty mangoes! , &

I hate summer because it means that every year I try to find the lightest weight blanket to sleep with. Yet it has to be heavy enough to feel right. Which leaves me hot and irritable because I can't sleep if I'm hot/uncovered.

I hate summer because I live in a desert. I hate 115-120 deg days with (supposedly) no humidity. I really hate it because I hate wearing shorts/skirts. I hate the way sunscreen smells, yet have to use it.

Totally agree, summer blows, what about antartica this time of year? That's cold right?

Wow nobody likes summer.

---->heat stroke.

I like summer, I just don't like the humidity. I luv the thunder storms that the summer brings. They excite me as long as they don't spawn tornadoes.

I would absolutely love summer if it weren't for the brightness. While winter can be bright too, with the sun reflecting off of snow, the brightness just doesn't seem as all-encompassing as it does in summer. Also, I think I have a lot of anxiety associated with summer due to being out of school and not knowing what to do with myself.

I used to hate summer because where I lived, it was humid and terribly hot. But now that I'm in Britain, it's not nearly so bad.

I hate summer and I hate the summer sun! It hurts! People look at me like I am crazy if I slip up and say that. I hate mosquitoes, and the bites are a walk through hell...huge reactions! I hate humidity and I loathe the feeling of being sticky and my clothes stuck to my skin. I moved to Duluth in 2005 from Texas and the summers there are beautiful. Cool and dry, breezy and no mosquitos. But now I am out of the country and it is hot and humid and no AC here. so back to misery. I feel like I am about go lose my mind from this terrible sticky feeling.

Official reading of temperatures at 5 PM today was 36 C but when I entered the car it said 43 C.

39 days till September, 62 till autumn.
