Poll: I hate summer

[Chris Moses]

The main reason I put that "I love summer" is that people are encouraged to wear skimpier clothes. People that are bundled up in 3-4 layers of clothes aren't as sexy to me.

#2 I'd rather be too hot than too cold. I am a tall person. Once it starts getting cold, my feet get cold and stay that way until it warms up again. The only break I get is soaking in a bath or hot tub.

#3 I'm a nudist. I feel restrained when I wear clothes. Anything below 70 is just not as much fun for me.

#4 I get depressed when the days turn short and dark. A lifetime of dealing with depression and mood swings led me to discover this pattern.

Summer in the UK last for maybe two weeks before the grey clouds and rain return. In fact it pretty much ended today.

I love summer but it just won't commit.

I once got 2nd degree burns over 12% of my body during a one week summer canoe trip, so I'm not a fan either.

But atleast it set the bar pretty high when it comes to tolerate discomfort, guess what doesn't kill you...

 

[happyninja42]

I hate summer because it's too fucking bright and hot, and I don't tolerate overheating well. But, I love summer for the scantily clad women walking around in boy shorts and midriff shirts, looking sexy as hell.

So, silver lining and all that.

I love summer.

My B-Day, shorts, bright sun makes everything better (and can cure depression) Shorts, prefer the heat over winters cold hand of death, shorts.

It's nice here in cali, finally warm enough to swim! It's pretty nice all year though, there's not as huge a difference between the seasons here as other places.

I work in a pub kitchen and loathe summer as the heat in the kitchen reaches Swedish Sauna levels. Then just when you've reached the peak sweat, you realise you've got to go to the freezer for something that will always be directly in front of the fans.

Oh my lord it is a nightmare, going to extreme heat to extreme cold at the drop of a hat.

Being a true Melbournian you'd also know that there is only one colour in our fashion spectrum - black. Black leather and knee high boots on women. God I love winter.

*checks wardrobe and sees almost nothing but black*

lol Yep definitely a true Melbournian. That said, the millennials and teens with their neon coloured shit taste in clothing are pushing back against the trend!

 

[an annoyed writer]

Yeah, agreed there OP. I live in the northern states and it still gets hot enough to cook me here. I swear, I'd go to bed with nothing but a thin nightie on with no blankets and a couple hours later I'd still wake up in a small ocean of sweat. There's only one scenario where I like sweating in bed and THIS IS NOT IT DAMNIT!

I love summer. But I love all seasons really, they each have their own unique thing.

Summer is pretty darn comfortable, in a you don't have to wear clothing way. Also, hiking is dope.

Fall has nice moderate temperatures, and the trees look gad damn gorgeous.

Winter has hockey, snow boarding, and stuff.

Spring has the feeling of finally getting out of the freezing winter
Seriously though, what does spring bring other than the relief of finally being able to be warm again? or being able to see the beauty in the summer? The feeling of rebirth?
That feeling when it's 10 celsius, and you're like damn, it's t-shirt and shorts weather! (Canada resident)

This is the time of the year when everything I am allergic to comes out to play.

So not only am I full of drugs, but I am also not sleeping form the coughing fits, lumpy red skin, horror movie level nose bleeds and have a throat that feels like I've been swallowing broken glass.

I'll be honest, not a fan of the hot months.

On the plus, I'll be getting even stronger drugs next week, special we don't want you to go into anaphylactic shock drugs, then life will improve slightly.

 

[marioandsonic]

Honestly, I love summer. Winter, though, can fuck right off.

Spring and autumn are both fine, as long as they don't get too cold.

 

[Czann]

Yeah!

@#$% the Sun!

George Carlin put it best: ". . .and in the summer - God help us - they all wanna wear short pants. Jesus, lord, protector of all that is holy, deliver me from fat people in short pants." That's the worst of all. The unrelenting heat from outside I can deal with. Sitting in what feels like wonton soup, I can deal with. The flies and wasps, the blinds can deal with. But the back fat, the ass cracks and the arm tats? Maaaaan, fuck that.

This.

I can stand the heat, the obnoxious return of Faux Latin music and the local cable provider's yearly loss of sanity and its compulsive airing of anything involving surf, beaches or shirtless actors between their twenties and thirties - but God, why do some people think that too-tight khakis and polo shirts qualify as summertime weather? I mean, if it looks like your belt wants to tear you apart at the waist, do yourself a favour and drop the Sedate Golfer look - it's not working out for you! Go Baggy Hawaiian Shirts and Swimming Shorts - you'll look tacky as Hell but you'll at least look like you're not some sort of applicant for clothes-based Saw-esque torture porn!

I can't go 5 minutes without my cat roleplaying pro Genji gameplay because a flying insect got in through the window.

Send animal control.

I love summer if only because the other nine months of the year range from chilly to cold. Five or six of those nine months have snow up to my knees in addition to being cold and in the past few years it hasn't started warming up until we were already getting close to summer. A couple of years ago people were still wearing their winter coats in June.

Summer is my favorite season, and that's saying something as Southern California has been in a state of perpetual spring for years now (spring being the season I hate).

Granted, forest fires and triple digit heat waves aren't fun, but there is so much to do during summer that I can deal with that. There's swimming, playing sports, hiking, bicycling, running, going to the beach, long days, warm weather, a lot of delicious food and drinks to enjoy, wearing shorts, and appreciating the female figure.

I wish that our seasons weren't as f'ed up as they have become, but as long as we have plenty of sunlight and heat during the summer months, I'm okay with that.
