I know summer is meant to be all about birds twittering, lots of sun and long days. But let’s face it: it’s actually about wasps, sunburn, and the sun rising before you even get to sleep.
This ranter is sounding off about Aberdonians complaining about the heat. Now there is lots that you can slag off Aberdonians about — their driving for a start! But I must sympathise in this instance. I cannot stand hot weather. There is nothing worse. And to top it all off we’ve had thunder and everything a couple of times, so you can throw heavy rain into the mix as well. Extremely hot, cloudy, raining like a drunkard on a tree — it’s bad, bad, bad.
You might say, “ah, but winter is very cold!” But the thing about that is that at least you can wrap up warm. Putting on four layers of clothes doesn’t require much effort but it can keep you comfortable all day. But if it is boiling hot then you are properly snookered. If you strip right off people will be all offended by your flesh, and you’ll still be too hot!
Summer. I’d rather gnaw off my nose.

“nice weather” ,”lovely weather”, “beautiful weather”. if i see or hear hot sunny weather referred to any more by these, i will probably remove my eyes and ears ha.
i am SO tired of it. I HATE SUMMER. with a passion. it’s too hot, the sun hurts on your skin and it drains you. how is this “lovely”? and the constant, it’s “nice nice nice nice nice nice”. And we are all supposed to feel the same way or you’re some kind of outcast. had enough of it!
that’s why i moved to Seattle here. amazingly enough people now whine all fall and winter long about the “gloomy”, “horrible days”. UGG!!! I can’t stand listening to them while i feel so good when it is cool.
what don’t they understand about heat stroke? skin cancer? aging? it’s almost like a religious cult following…when the sun is out, its SO GEORGOUS and when it’s overcast or raining…IT’S SO DREADFUL. what is wrong with them?
And then what’s worse is that if the morning happens to be…cool…the drivers on the bus turn up the heat! to accomdate the sun and summer freaks. it’s awful
sorry for my rant but i was glad to see a forum like this after we have had a hot septemeber here in seattle, and the masses crowing about how “lovely” it is.

Im so glad to see Im not the only person on earth that hates summer!! as I said in my previous posts here I Deplore hot weather…I am moving way up to the mountains here in 2 weeks..It snows there & is in a forest like setting, so is very shadey!! I still dread the coming months with that dreadful summer approaching, I am in Tasmania, Australia.. I escaped the mainland of Australia 3 months ago…& am loving it here!!
the crazed summer freaks are starting to rant about their precious summer hot weather coming, but its not as bad as the mainland. The beach culture here is minimal, and it doesnt get as hot. I hate the filthy beaches with crazies baking them selves to a crisp with all the stinking lotions & oils, perfumes etc!!
I hate being sweaty its filthy & un-hygenic….Give me WINTER any time!! I cant stand how the radio stations keep promoting summer, it really grates me, so I turn it off..all the media portray summer as some sort of drug that we all need and want, PROMOTE WINTER I SAY!! FOREVER WINTER!!! SUMMER BE GONE!!!!!!!

I searched for “I’m so sick of boiling to death” etc. because I’m SICK OF IT!!!! I live in So. California where we rarely get any real cool weather. I get so thrilled and excited when “fall” arrives only to have to suffer with another 2 months AT LEAST of high 80s and 90s day after day after day after day after day.
Summer now lasts beginning in April – May to around the end of December, and then of course all those other months are sprinkled with a week here and there of boiling hot. Why can’t we have one straight week of being cold? Or a month I would be so thrilled I would think I was in a good dream instead of living in a nightmare. The weather was great here 25 years ago, now it’s ruined forever.
I can’t sleep in the heat and even with the a/c on I frequently wake up and just scream I am so hot. I feel exactly the same way as the majority of posters here, I listen to the weather and they say, it’s going to be a gorgeous gorgeous day, high 80s to 90s inland (where I live) and it pisses me off no end, why is that gorgeous, it’s really suffocating hell.
I want to cool off to the core of my body, when is that going to happen? It’s mid-November (almost winter in the US) and it’s too hot to go out and walk. I like to walk and hike and not swelter to death….thanks everyone for agreeing with me, I’m so angry all the time because of the heat. No wonder hell is hot and not cold!!!!!!

Here in Australia record breaking heatwaves in the high 40dg temps have been going on for weeks night & day….Luckily I live in Tasmania now which is escapes the mainlands hot weather revolment! The people their are dropping dead like flies from the heat, the morgues are full & its to hot for funerals! There has been multiple bushfires, & constant blackouts for days on end from all the airconditioners in use! Air conditioners are blowing up causing houses to burn down! YET still all the precious sun lovers are still ranting how lovely the heat is!!! They make me sick! What will it take to stop this stupid love for theses vile conditions!!! It sickens me how some people are so arrogant in theses matters! And if they love the heat so much why do they need a cold airconditioner! Its just mad in this country! All Summer obsessed!!

In the Winter I’m Always Healthy And more Active.
I always and i mean ALLLLWAAAYYSS Wear a black/brownish beanie its like a part of my body I even wore it to paris where it was 37 Degrees, and people keep annoying me when they ask me if i’m not hot wearing it.
I Love wearing hoodies and i usually wear a black or red one, the summer forces me to change my Wardrobe and if there’s something i hate more then the Summer, its my Gf dragging me out to Go Shopping.

Oh thank God! now I don’t have to feel like a freak because i hate summer with a passion(googled ‘i hate summer’ just to see if anyone could possibly feel the same) when all around me people can’t stop talking about how ‘nice out’ it is, and t.v reporters are practically orgasming because it’s going to be almost 90 from tomorrow on. Pure hell= NYC summer. Already dreading riding the subways, the half naked skanks, streets flooded by open fire hydrants and screeching brats, and the hoodlums hanging out all night on the block. Fall can’t get here fast enough.

I had to check up on all my summer hating friends. I have a new 10,000 BTU A/C sitting downstairs and waiting to be installed in my bedroom where I will proceed to increase my carbon footprint and keep the chill factor as low as possible while saving my sanity and sleeping soundly.
I have to say we had nearly 2 months of cool weather with only a couple of heat waves here and there and I was over the moon but good things never last do they? (last week was ridiculous and people should be jailed or institutionalized for saying it’s gorgeous when it’s so boiling that your brains are on fire)
I think it’s rather obsessive how often I check the weather forecast on CNN just so I can see if I need to brace myself for a hellish onslaught. Well summer is going to be here any second but only 7 more months to go!
I love winter clothes too, skin is not attractive to view on 99.9% of people.

Googled “I hate summer” because it’s supposed to be 90 (32) all this week, and I wanted to see if I was the only person in the world who wished summer never came. Clearly, I’m not! ^_^
It’s never really cold here in Florida (god I hate this state) but the summers are awful! It’s hot, it’s humid, there are more bugs than should be allowed to congregate in any one place at a time, the sun is glaringly bright all the damn time, and there are more and more idiots wearing not nearly enough clothes. I’m super pale and get heat stroke very easily, so hanging out at the beach/pool isn’t an option for me, either. >_<
I want to move back to Vancouver! Even when it was hot, there was always a breeze off the bay. (The boys were cuter, too ^_~)

oh you guys say that 90F is hot you would love South Australia its HELL on earth and gets hotter than Africa!!! it gets up to 49C or in 120F and one year it got to 50C (122F)…yes i agree its annoying seeing skanks in hardily any clothes showing off their fat orange bodies!! me and my friend call them jaundice victums or Omas(dutch for grandmother)…they still are dressing in skank clothes where i live in Tasmania(off the Australian coast)
it is weird that any SUN they see they have to dress like freaks!!
its going into winter soon here and i cant wait….
Hell was so bad this year animals were falling from the trees and going to peopls garages for food and water!!
Why do these people think SUMMER is so Great?????
I have come to the conclussion that these people are repitilians or suffer a major brain disfunction!!!!
i think the only thing that works in their brain its the thermostate and its stuffed!!
I cant believe it??? yes its very very weird!!!
i envy you guys in USA at least the sun disappears in winter…here it just goes abit away from us!!
we need to start a convention on WE HATE SUMMER!!!

The sun lovers and heat nazis have become like thugs.
Try telling them you like cooler weather and they look at you like you have leprosy. and then torture you constantly with their mindless drivelling about how GLORIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS blah blah blah. then even worse they WHINE when it’s cozy and overcast out. horrible people
I’m getting so tired of them i want to put plugs in my ears. they obsess so much over the weather, it’s embarassing. then the media starts gloating over this season as well.
i LOVE the cool/cold weather and barely tolerate the summer season.

I really enjoyed reading this thread; sometimes it feels like I am the only human who doesn’t like hot weather.
I despise the summer: combine the oppressively stuffy nights with unbearably hot days, and an intolerable social obsession with barbecues, sunbathing and ‘sitting out’, and you are guaranteed a miserable time.
I have to get up at 6:00am every day to take the dog for a walk; blazing sun and screaming kids must be avoided at all costs!

“sometimes it feels like I am the only human who doesn’t like hot weather”
adam you’re certainly not the only one. I think we summer haters often don’t stand up for ourselves when we should. I have had enough. I’m tired of hearing “are you enjoying the weather, the sunshine” every 5 minutes. i liked when you said the intolerable social obsession – that’s what it is, really. it’s akin to some weird religious chant. If you dare not fall in step with them, they call you “nuts” and “wierd”
well i say let’s fast forward ahead 20 years and see who is “weird”. i have steadfastly stayed out of the sun most of my life. I just turned 41 and yet people say i look at least 10 years younger. If people want leperous looking age spots, wrinkles and gross sores, that’s fine. If they want to make a skin surgeon right years from now, OK. I opt out of this madness.

What an abolsute relief to fin this website! (it was a complete whim- and out of sheer frustration to google ‘I hate summer’)I could not believe there were so many other fellow Summer Sufferers!) I moved out of London 5 years ago because the summer heat was so bad- travelling by tube, working in a (glass!) building without air-con, (sorry to all Australians and Africans..- I’m sure this seems minimal in comparison to what you have.. to put up with!) I thought i was going mad. I’m now living in Edinburgh where it’s thankfully been much better- although- lo and behold we’re now having a heatwave up here too!
And the nutters are out. Frying themselves .And yes, I fully agree that there is really nothing more irritating than everyone going on..and on…and ON (on TV, radio and in person) about the ‘lovely weather’ plenty of sunshine’ with their smug faces- it’s almost a ghastly competition to see how hot it can get; they positively gloat… What I ask you is fun about everyone being sweaty all the time, swollen feet cut by sandals, no energy, screaming irritable children everywhere, hot muggy nights, trudging pavements and jostling people dripping in body oil and exposing parts which we just don’t want to see… I’m sorry but I just don’t do skimpy clothes. Plus everything starts to smell..decompose…UGH.. so unhygienic…and up here it just stays light…forever!How true the comment above about being able to put layers ON but there being a limit on taking them off. WHY do people actually like feeling HOT? It makes me feel sick and stifled; are we cold-blooded creatures…? Sorry but I don’t actually need to raise my temperature any higher thank you very much…
I take a cool minty bath very night- and I’m proud to do so!
Roll on autumn and winter and crisp cool days, fresh winds, chilly evenings and a glass of red wine. Rant over. Thanks for reading. Empathies and sympathies to all fellow Summer Haters …..everywhere.

i wrote this today as a fellow cool-weatherer was bitching about the “sun worshippers”. it’s harsh but she said it’s right on. hope you enjoy it!
Sun worshippers also known as Satan’s Spawns of Hell, Bullshitus Maximus and the Pestilence.
Definition:
1. People who move from some sunshined blasted place and expect their sterile sandal world of everyday sunshine to follow them elsewhere. They deride, insult and pester anyone who doesn’t fall gushing down at the sight of the sun or sit in abject fury at the drop of rain. Overcast weather to these people is the Ultimate Evil to them
2. Burned lizard like cretins, soon destined for a skin surgeon’s knife. Despite repeated warnings about the dangers of the sun, they somehow decide they know better and find every chance to catch every single drop of UV radiation possible. Oh and lest i forget, everyone who doesn’t participate in their orgy of UV is “pale” and “unhealthy”
3. Parasitic monsters who will show you every kind of scrunchy face, look of bewilderment or disdain if you mention the BLASPHEMY of “i like cool weather”. they then proceed to attempt an interrogation of how it is that you DARE to enjoy rain, overcast, snow, fall or winter over their GLORIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, “NICE”, “SUN SOAKED” pillars of paradise.

The humidity is so high, I stay soaked all summer. I have to run from the air conditioned house to my air conditioned car. It SUX!!!!!
It’s beautiful and lush here but we have some much rain and high temps and humidity. I feel like I”m the only person around here that feels like this. I am so glad know that there are others like me out there.

Well I’ve really shocked so many people by telling them I hate summer, I think some of them sort of think about it for a while and then think, hmmm she may be right.
A friend of mine went to Hawaii and she came back telling me I need to go, I said, “I’d rather not, I’m not a fan of hot weather.” AND I wouldn’t vacation anywhere where I felt I was being tortured. Yes Hawaii is beautiful, I spent one day in Honolulu when I was 17, that’s enough for my lifetime. A vacation to me is something you should ENJOY not suffer through. How boring to sit on the beach and do nothing. Give me Yosemite and a hike with a sprinkle of snow any day for fun and relaxation!

I will only visit countries that are cold temps for holidays.
I cant stand all the holiday promotion of horrid beaches, & tropical resorts…not for me they can have their UV addiction!
Its winter here in Tasmania & is beautiful, lots of rain, snow, mist, foggy days is stunning & pleasent to be in!
I love grey cloudy skies. love wearing my hoodies beanies, I do not ever wear summer clothes! they are horrid!
Since I have expessed my feelings to my family on how I feel about summer & hot weather they are really narky at me & think Im a freak!
Its pathetic so I hate the hot weather big deal, they are the fools for liking vile torturous heat!
I am really annoyed how all the stupid ads on tv are going on about ‘The winter blues’ & associating sickness & colds/flu with winter promoting cough medicines etc!
I only ever get a cold in warm weather and in winter these stupid people here getting around in summer clothes and thongs so they will get a cold then cough on you in the shops!
so then you get a bit of a coughy thing!
Bacteria breeds in hot weather & most flu’s colds etc come from hot countries!!
I love the cold and always will! I may cop alot of slack from the UV addicted lot but tough!!!
Its great to see so many posts on here from like minded people!!!!

i agree jason. winter, cold and rain get a bad rap. whether in ads, or movies, it’s always shown as “gloomy”, or “dark”. it’s a brainwashing thing and also basically just to sell products. i mean if you don’t have “glorious” sunshine all the time how can you sell those wretched flipflops, buckets of sunscreen and all the other garbage people put on themselves during hell-summer.
i love the rain and the cold and i defend them viciously and without fear.
i’m tired of the legions of “T.A.N =Terrable Awefulness Nutz (TAN)!!!” as Marna calls them. Great posts MArna, thanks for the posts referring back to mine. I’m very sure at 41 that you look a lot younger than the lizard people and will continue to do so
i watched today as a bunch of kids were AFRAID to go out in the light rain at the transit center. i was ashamed for them. what have hteir parents been teaching them? that rain is poison? what complete imbeciles. they have been taught that sun always is happiness and if you’re “pale” you’re somehow unhealthy. i want to scream up at the sky at this frakking lunacy.
I swear the sun thing is a cult and an addiction. people are addicted to the UV. The worst thing is the abuse heaped on us cool weather lovers. i say DO NOT put up with it, STAND UP for yourself against them. whether family, friends or whatever. they need to respect us and our preferences. I have torn into people who called me “nuts” and they regretted their statements. These folks have become bullies. we have to hear from them when it’s sunny and then when it’s cool, they bitch to our face.

its Winter Solstice hear and its was mostly sunny! and on the radio they were going how cold it is!!! which is really strange because the radio station is in the tropics not tasmania!!
Yes i look very young for my age and always people have trouble realising my age and get it wrong all the time they say Im 28yrs old !!!! thats keeping out of the sun and looking after yourself!! I dont need tan to look good. I naturally tan abit in Summer because of some spanish blood in me long way down the track!!
Im a poor dutch aussie stuck in an uncultured sun obssessed land…its Sad always complianing how freezing it is…BOO Hoo!!
do anyone know how easy it is too imergrate to UK????? if your an aussie citzern??
Me and freind feel like foriegners in our own land!!!
That SA was so obsessed with summer it was sick they have a tanning salon called megasun and its a solar city!!! AAAHH!!!

Hi Marna, i totally feel for ya. Congrats on standing up for yourself and not baking your lovely skin to a crisp. when you are older, then everyone will see how smart you were, not to follow the herd.
they really are sicko sunlovers. spending even 10 minutes out in the sun, it’s not “beautiful or warm”, well it’s just plain stinking hot. One good thing to show folks is try feeling the dashboard in the sun. It’s not “warm”, it’s broiling hot. this is what’s happening to skin if it’s in that sun. all the ads on tv show the sun, everything sells “summer” and “sun”. i’m amazed at the utter stupidity of it, being that hot, sweaty and burned aren’t even close to being comfortable. I truly believe we’ve been overtaken by some kind of corporate sun product selling mentality.
YEah and even here if it cools off after a hot day, people are “cold”. yet worse….is some of the buses actually turn on the FRAKKING HEAT. HEAT! you can get to feel that noone will respect your choice of body temperature
and people’s attitidude to rain, i think now that kids have been taught that rain is pure poison falling from the skies. I’m ashamed to watch people here in seattle running like sissies under even a light downpour. WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
Tanning salons, i call them Temples of Idiocy. It just gives these UV addiction imbeciles another place to hurt the largest organ on their bodies.
i’m so sick of hearing about the weather every time there’s sun or no sun. I want to glue headphones permanently in my ears!
Marna, ever thought of migrating to Seattle? you’d love it here. sorry it is the States, but the place is so gorgeous and the cool weather is like 8 months a year.
ha or maybe we should all migrate to iceland and be done with it, like your idea.

ugh, just thinking of summer makes me nauseous and feverish.
The horrible slimy people drenched in sweaty gaseous fumes with distorted smiles, the bloodsucking insects devilishly preparing for another attack just for sport, the slightly and not so slightly obese folks and their fulminating armpits waiting menacingly for any chance to knock you dead from the ephemeral smells. The obnoxious , revolting gangster wannabes cranking up their stereos. Yes, I too HATE summer.

ha Alexandra i hear ya. Summer is smelly, sweaty and itchy.
Add to your list people wearing the hideous beast known as flip flops, some with dirty feet that should never seen the light of day. Slap Slap Slap all you hear on the street.
The buses are bastions of stuffiness, often the windows are all closed and i sit there in a stupor waiting for the ride to be over. Yet worse if it rains, the HEAT comes on again.
Summer is a cult and the Sun is a drug i think. I’ve heard people say they wish the sun shined every day. i asked them do you like PLANTS? WATER? or would you prefer a drought and everything dry and brown. Sillly kids, they can’t have it both ways.
Speaking of rain: Well i defend rain wherever it is put down

I agree. I hate the summer.I know i dont have a lot to complain about, i only live in england but i hate it.What about summer is “beautiful” or “glorious”?. Summer is just unbearable heat,annoying people who think your crazy if you hate it. I love it when its rainy,cloudy and cold and dark, so i MUST be depressed. I miss winter…

well andie, if you don’t like summer then you still can complain about it. that is your right to do so, whether you live in a milder summer or not.
that’s the problem is that people think you’re “crazy” and often voice this. Now i’ve taken to telling them they are crazy for liking the heat and the skincancer and burning.
I don’t take the sun nazi’s bullshit anymore. if they like it fine, but they have to respect that we don’t. I don’t mind that some people like the heat, but when they start telling me i am bizarre i just have to put my foot down and down HARD. i believe all our grievances on this forum is because the ‘Zards (short for lizards) have become so obessive and bullying about their weather preference. They also torment us by talking about it all the time. And then when the weather finally turns cool, they then whine all season about it.
I might be overdramatic but it’s a kind of tyranny really! IT’S HORRIBLE.

here’s a great article i found about sun addicts. Marna, you’ll especially love it. I believe this has happened to many people here. it’s one thing to like sunshine and another when people cry over 1 day of rain. it’s something i thought of weeks ago when i pondered people’s reaction to sun vs rain. it’s another reason i think that we cool weather lovers take such scorn – we’re making fun of their drug.
Sun addicts need AA-type program

ADDICTION to ultraviolet light could be the reason many people continue to sunbake despite the dangers, and obsessive tanners may need psychological support, some skin cancer experts believe.
A US study in the Archives of Dermatology journal has found that tanning is an addictive behaviour and that young women are the most likely to succumb to the dangers. The findings come as Cancer Council Australia prepares to launch a campaign today warning of the dangers of solariums.
People who experience the compulsion to sunbake, referred to as “tanorexia”, display addictive tendencies similar to alcoholics or compulsive gamblers, the study found. Support groups similar to Alcoholics Anonymous have been suggested to help fight the problem.
The US study, which surveyed 145 beach goers at Galveston Island in Texas, found more than half could be categorised as having a “tanning disorder”.
But the study’s author, dermatologist Richard Wagner, warned that the result could not be applied to the wider population because it was conducted at the beach. “If you walked into a bar you’d probably find more alcoholics,” he said.

Tony White, a senior lecturer in the Department of Dermatology at Sydney University, agreed that obsessive tanners could be addicted to the look and feeling they get from the sun and solariums.
“This study has articulated what we always half suspected — that some people feel tanning plays such an important part in their life that they would rather die than abandon it,” he said.
“I’ve seen patients who have had melanomas cut out but still can’t quit. Everyone has a handful of patients who are flying right in the face of everything they know they should do. They’re out of control, and they’re not just being naughty, they’ve got a problem and they need professional help.”
Dr White said the study’s findings would make him more inclined to recommend his patients seek professional help if they continued to sunbake.
“It’s more than just a nuisance, it’s a psychological problem,” he said. “It’s like smoking and eating and safe sex — sometimes people have one thing in their head, but their behaviour is in another direction entirely.”
Dr White said in his experience it was mainly young women who put themselves as risk.
Craig Sinclair, chairman of the Cancer Council Australia’s national skin cancer committee, said there was a misconception that solariums were safer than tanning in sunlight, but in fact they posed significant dangers to a person’s health.
“Solariums can emit rays five times the strength of the midday summer sun, which is an extraordinary amount of UV radiation,” he said. “The concern is that young people or people who have a skin type that doesn’t tan are being allowed access to solariums. The industry isn’t informing customers of the risks.”

sorry to hear that Marna, what freaks it sounds like. And they’d call you “nuts” i bet. They’re heat and sun addicts and like addicts they don’t care if they destroy themselves. thus the weird clothes, attitude and demeanor
I get on facebook every time i hear one of these addicts whining about “miserable” like you said. IT’s way beyond liking the sun, they are obsessed with it. I bet they’d want it to shine at night if they could.
ha and here in the states we think that australia is so cool and the people are “normal”. sorry to hear of so many nuts!

Hey Patrick its called Down Under…i think they need put down!!
Addicts yes they are..saw one today in its summer clothes in the rain and shivering!!! THEY ARE DRUGGIES!!!!
Need that FIX…he he heee ha ha!!
i have heard one when i lived in S.Australia say it should be sunny at night(TRUE)..its a sad sad people!!!
The whole population of Australia is getting stupider!!
China could easily invaid Australia!!
in the guise of BBQ sellers!!!
Yes, Australians are obsessed with BBQs and they do it all year around but more in Summer…you have to have a patio with a gigantic BBQ!!
they cant do it good..lets say the shrimp(prawn) would be the size of a stringbean and so burnt that it looks like a archiologist find!! and you need to DNA it to find out what it is!!
worse the snag(sausage=which is 90% lard fat & 2%meat&8%flour) is also cooked and burnt out of recognition and they cover it in so called tomato sauce(reconstiuted tomatoes with salt and sugar base)and you have to say what a great BBQ..OH yes the beer which is warm and flat…..MMMMMMM Yummy!!
if your on a health kick you have sushi!!
Im lucky where I live in Tasmania that the food is edible!!
Pat remember the drives when you were a kid in Summer holidays driving thru the country in a hot car with no drink !!!

Hello all you beautiful, sun-hating people!!
I found this page while I was looking to see if there are other like-minded folks out there who, like me, cannot tolerate the heat. And you’ve got to know how happy I am that you all exist!
Ok, so I live in the UK, and we don’t get the type of temperatures you poor souls living in places like Australia get, but I am in London which is among the warmer places in Britain.
It’s been pretty hot here for the last few weeks. Not at all pleasant to me, yet, everyone else glides around out there as though they are in paradise. Aargh!!
The real horror is yet to come. A heatwave is predicted to arrive this week. I just want to hide in a cave somewhere!
My mother lives right beside a park, and any time there’s a glimpse of sunshine, the place is packed out with all the sheeple, lying, on the grass, roasting like potatoes in the evil heat. We always joke that “the lobsters are out today” as most of them turn a horrid shade of red! Seriously, they don’t even care that their skins will become crisp and leathery. And they think that we’re crazy?!
A few weeks ago, while I was mooching uncomfortably through the streets of East London, I passed a gaggle of daft bints, all wearing bikinis…In a London street… Far from any beach…What-the-flip?!!
I’m the kind of girl who loves to cover my figure with a nice coat or jacket. I despise walking around with a summer-friendly top. I just feel too exposed!
Why is it that sun-worshippers find overcast weather miserable? I mean when it is neither hot, nor cold, nor raining. Just cloudy. They’re like: “Oh, I hate Britain. It’s always raining, and grey.” If they need the heat to feel remotely happy, I suggest they seek professional help!
Me, I die a death if I see an empty blue sky. I love rolling clouds, passionate thunderstorms, lovely snow. I feel like I’m in the closet with my preferences though! But not this year. This year I am coming out! Out, and proud of preferring coolness over the hot crap!
Anyway, I’m going to try and barricade myself indoors this week thanks to the *shudder* heatwave.
At least at home I can keep away from all the grinning halfwits outside!!

I love winter because of millions of reasons but mainly Christmas, I hate summer because of the heat, Hay Fever the smell of B.O and sun tan lotion because of Sweaty burnt people everywhere, food poisoning from some idiot at a BBQ who cant cook but thinks he/she can just 1 time of the year (raw Burgers Anyone?)! and hot young girls in bikinis and thongs with there boy friends (pointless looking at Girls in summer because your only get abuse from the Drunk Jealous mug of a boyfriend), Smelly Steaming hot Dog mess in every park you try to take your kids to enjoy! I dont get summer I wish it would just F*@k off as quickly as it came!
ok Summer Rant over lol..

Mariyam, welcome to the Big Rant!
to anwer your question:
“Why is it that sun-worshippers find overcast weather miserable? I mean when it is neither hot, nor cold, nor raining. Just cloudy. They’re like: “Oh, I hate Britain. It’s always raining, and grey.” If they need the heat to feel remotely happy, I suggest they seek professional help!”
i realized why a bit ago….
they are sun and UV addicts that’s why. It’s one of the reasons we get the “you’re nuts” from these Lizard Assholes. The grey deprives them of their “fix”. That’s why they don’t care about their skin, cancer, or aging. it is the only thing that seems to make sense.
Problem is there are many of these addicted ‘zards and they make life hell for us that actually CARE about our skin.
They will put you down and belittle you if you’re “pale” which is your actual skin color. Marna and i are both 41 yet look at least 10 years younger. They will be be the idiots in a few years and considered “nuts”. I have taken to attacking their hate against the rain whenever i can, because i am sick of their “sun only” addiction and attitude.

Hi Pat!
I think you’re probably right about all the lizard people being addicted to the UV rays. And they do need help. For their own sakes!
It’s great that You and Marna look years younger than you are. I’m 32, and people often think I’m a teenager! Sometimes I get asked why I’m not in school! I always try to keep out of the sun. Even if I am out, I tend to walk in the shadier parts of the street.
I’m Asian, so I have no need to tan. It’s a bit funny actually, because when I was a kid, I used to get horrible comments from some of the older white girls, who asked me if I was brown because I don’t wash! There was a lot of racism around then. And now, these self-same types either slap on fake tan products or roast in the heat to try to get brown! The irony!!
Why do they hate their usual pale skin colour? There is beauty in whichever colour we are.
Also, this heatwave is really setting in now. I am officially in hell! Today, I felt like the sweat was pumping out of me. Don’t you just hate when your scalp is sweaty, and your hair just feels damp and horrible?! Then it becomes difficult to put your head on your pillow. Aaargh!!
And the bugs. Oh my gosh, they’re everywhere!
One other thing that annoys me, is when people say that the hot weather improves their mood. And they make out that everyone is more cheerful and friendly when the sun is shining. Are they heck! I notice a lot of frayed tempers out there, and the increase in road rage, frazzled youngsters, etc. I have also been feeling much angrier today. Over silly things.
People seem to be brainwashed about hot weather. There are a million negative things about the summer, and yet they still praise it. I could write a very long list on all the bad things associated with this season. Not that any of the deluded would have the sense to agree with me!
Ah well. I’m happy to be in the company of you fine, wise people! I hope I don’t sound too grumpy. I’m much happier in the cooler months!

Hi guys …hi pt and miriyam loved your comments!
hey pat !! they think i am actually 15yrs younger
i had some one say im 25 one day a few years ago i was 18yrs old and a funn y story when i was 21 i was at a gym doing aquarobics with my mother and this lady asked me how old i was and i saids “21yrs old” this lady said “no your 13yrs old!”
i said no im 21. she would not believe me and the i said ask my mum.in which she did and my mum said yeah hes 21 and she still didnt believe it!
I used to work in the sun but hey i havent really sunbaked only when i was like 13yrs oldand then i stopped as i found it annoying and ihave always looked after myself..i dont smoke!!
Hey have you noticed sunlovers not only addicted to UV rays…………..They usually smoke and have other addictions like drugs and alcohol!
the smoking thing is a result of smelling there flesh burning when they out in the sun and when they smoke it is like a comfort blanket to them as it has the same smell………………
The smell of over 1,000 chemicals coming off there orange skin!
and that is why they are ugly wrinkled old crones at the lovely age of 15!!!!!!
remember the joke 1596………15 at the back 96 in the front!!
Its also a hard fact that the sun makes you shrink…that is why they are always humped over and there sking looks like an old bean bag thats been lefted out in the sun for 7 years hey????
I think its in the jeans(genes)??????? they are so tight that they walk bow legged and in true summer wear the underwear is very popular to wear here out in public for wome a bra with pink indies(hot pants or even bathers) for men its a singlet with boardies or just boardies(this is a long short you wear when you go for a swim)…
and we are the nutters?????
i would wish that any of you guys dont consider australia as a destination for a holiday especially in summer as it will shock you!
especially the aussie slang!!
i dont want to be rude but it sounds like drunken crows having a verbal slurred language of people who cant talk!!!!!
for example=Stewth mate owzit gowinghavya barbee taday,itz abit ruvfth gotta skraype sum ofthitmayte!!!!
which traslated says= wow friend how are you going, are you having a barbaque today, you seem to have burnt it, i may have to scrape some of the burnt offering.friend!!
we have to put up with this annoying tounge once and a while!
its aweful! im from dutch background and they used to pay me out!!!!
the winter here has been dismal sunny dry days and some days no cloud it has been 16-18C for 2 weeks now and its really annoying!! they summer mutts have being praying for the wintwr to go im going to do a spell tomorrow to rid these pestulance!

Hi again all. Special shout out to Marna!! The Aussie stuff made me laugh! Drunken Crows!! Hehe!
The mini heatwave here in parts of the UK is still very much on. Boo!
I know I had resolved not to venture outside this week because of the extra heat, but I did need to go somewhere today.
Anyway, walking in the streets as if trudging through the Sahara desert, I was ambling along as best I could, (occasionally murmering: “water. water…” in a weak voice!). I usually zip quickly down the road, as I’m small, it’s necessary to walk twice as fast as the taller people!
As some of you may relate to the feeling in hot weather of the energy being sapped out of you so you become a limp, jellyfish-like creature, I could barely make 5 steps a minute! All my mojo was spirited away.
Then I saw them. The people I will refer to now as THE SOLAR-POWERED BEINGS!!
They were full of beans, bouncing down the road with vim and vigour, as if the extreme heat was their source of fuel! I’m telling you, they are freaks of nature!
I was struggling, sloth-like, and these folks were zipping around like Olympic athletes!
I don’t know, maybe it’s me? Have I got a vital cog missing in my system? Maybe I’m the freak? Or then again, not. After all, even animals have the sense to wallow in mud, or sit in the shade when it becomes too hot.
The phrase: “Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun” springs to mind!
Anyway, I hope any of you who are experiencing summer in your countries can find ways to cope better than I have!
Ta ta!

I agree with you 100% Mariyam.
I’m also from the UK and am really finding this bl**dy heatwave difficult going. The humidity is so oppressive.
The way the media cover this is so annoying and seems to make a bad situation even more unbearable. Could one of these idiots please tell me what i’m meant to find so exciting and pleasurable about: sweating profusely (i am fit and not overweight), not being able to sleep at night, the plagues of flies, awful ‘chavs’ sharing their bodies with the world, being very short tempered with ones loved ones through lack of sleep, flying ants, being uncomfortable 24hrs a day, nausea, headaches ….. i could go on.
If i read one more article in the press stating that i should be having the time of my life i won’t be responsible for my actions!!
Here’s hoping for the rest of the summer to be 15C with a cool breeze, not too much sun and plenty of rain. I can’t be doing with 30C+ and high humidity.
It’s been nice reading the views of my fellow heat and humidity haters.
Cheers

jbob it seems like these people belong almost to some kind of cult.
they feed off each other, and i mean echo almost identical responses – like robots “are you enjoying the sunshine”, “it’s gorgeous”, “it’s perfect”, blah blah blah. If their skin was on fire they’d be saying the same thing. Once they cook themselves enough, they get addicted to the UV and the heat i think, with blood so thin, i’m surprised it just doesn’t seep through the skin
the final stage of this madness for them is to put the rest of us down who don’t fall down to the Altar of Summer. “you’re nuts”, “you’re crazy”, etc, is the chant of these horrible addicted ‘Zards. Oh and then we are treated to the torment of whining during the cool months from these addicts. I am SO sick of it

Me again!
Hello Jbob. Good to hear from a fellow Brit.
I understand everything that you have mentioned. I hate when the tabloid newspapers go nuts about the heatwaves and put the temperatures on the front pages, with stupid headlines that make this weather sound like amazing fun.
Oh, and amen to your wish for a 15c summer and lots of rain! We can only dream!
As annoying as it is when strangers love the hot weather, I’m always perturbed when a friend or relative says something stupid regarding the subject, as they are people you like, but an idiot comment makes you want to throttle them!!
An example: last summer, I was moving home, and I had a very short space of time to get everything done. There was so much lifting and carrying of boxes and other items to be done, so I got stuck in to save time.
Later that day, I texted a friend, telling her about the tiring day I had, and maybe looking for a bit of sympathy! She responded by writing: “Oh, what a lovely hot day to do the removals”. I just could not be bothered to reply back by telling her how wrong she was. What I needed to make the day more easeful would have been a nice cloudy day, with a moderate breeze. How, in the name of God, was a very hot day a good thing for doing back-breaking, strenuous work?!?!
Do any of you have anyone close to you who worships the sun? I’m lucky that all of my immediate family have always hated it when it gets too hot. Don’t know how I’d cope if I was married to “one of them”! I’d probably murder them before the summer was out!!
This heat is making me psychotic!

my mother and father in law ADORE the sun, as well as do my sister-in-law. They finally respect that i don’t. I can’t understand these sun worshippers, i mean the sun just plain hurts on the skin. AS for as psychotic, me too. And i drain very quickly of energy. I don’t have a clue how hot can be considered so “wonderful”, it’s beyond me really.

She staggered to the opening of her show in milan and she walked down the isle and people were so shocked It Became fashion! cries of wow who would have thought this look!!
