The Official I'M SICK OF SUMMER Thread
 

Here's a rant.

I wish heat and humidity were a person.

Someone that I could abduct, trap in my basement and slowly fucking torture to death. And I'm not talking a mild blowtorch and thumbscrews type of torture - I'm talking a Kevin Spacey from Seven type of torture - something that would take weeks or months, even years. Something that would be marveled over later.

Enough with this crap. On a day where it was vile and miserable anyway, right at 5:00, it pours fucking rain, but only for a few minutes; not long enough to affect the temperature, but just long enough to raise the humidity levels to about 10,000%. Thirsty? Just open your mouth and breathe, and hope you don't drown. So then I walk the mile to the train station in this soupy, miserable shit. Well, that's over, I think. WRONG. Now the fucking air conditioning goes out on the train right as we're leaving the goddamn station, for the second fucking day in a row. There's another sonofabitch I'd like to go Spacey on - the dick in charge of making sure the air conditioning works - probably some lazy rat bastard drinking a cup of coffee in a nice cool office somewhere. What a lovely 45 minute train ride to enjoy after I was already rolling fucking sweat.

If I could get a paying job in fucking Antarctica, I'd take it. I hate the midwest, I hate summer, I hate the heat and I REALLY hate the fucking humidity.

COME ON WINTER HURRY UP AND fuckING GET HERE

:cuss::cuss::cuss:

That is all.

I hate big weather.

Don't you know that George W Bush controls the weather?

Come January, you will be saying the exact opposite.

I am looking forward to October. The best month of the year...

No, I won't. I just remember days like this. Cold I can deal with - put on a goddamn coat you're good to go. This crap... all you can do is suffer.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

I'm tired of being f'n hot, I'm tired sweating my balls off, and I'm tired of the busy season at work.

Winter can't get here quick enough.

I enjoy laying out at the pool or going to the beach, the warmth of the sun, getting a tan and looking at all the hotties in bikinis :D

**** Winter

So basically fat people hate summer and skinny people hate winter.

Frazod, I feel you. It is miserable here in South Florida since May, with rather sporadic rain which is unusual for this area.

Do not come here during the summer, I sometimes feel like taking my AK47 and going balistic during these hot days and crazy "back-to-school" traffic.

I totally hate the ****ng winters up here, are you kidding me? I love the summers, but the humidity does get a little out of hand.
Sorry about your miserable train ride though Tim. Have you ever considered taking a job out here in berbs?

There is no winter here.

Miserable??? It's been party time!! The beach is hoppin and the ladies clothes are droppin. The beer is flowing and their boobs are growing (or perceived to be).

The only good thing about the end of summer is the start of football!

True...but it's not the same as summer.

I'd be stoked if it could be fall year-round......

60 during the day, 40's at night......

Perfect.

Yea,it's nice.

SoCal would be about the closest thing to that...

And the water is colder.

I was surprised how long it took my pool to warm to a comfortable level earlier this year.

Mountain, cold weather guy born and raised. What good is the beach and women when my brain is being cooked even when naked he he.

But January and Feb are indeed very pleasant.

That's what I'm saying. I've been to the beach in fall/winter/early spring and while it might be warm enough to be out in the sun, generally the water's too damn cold.

Unless you're from up north. Those extremely pale folk think 70-degree water is just swell.

77 with a slight breeze :)

Yea.. I really crack up when I see their asses all in the Atlantic via Maine in Feb.

I love cold weather chilling out flirting with the hot girls at starbuck while surfing chiefs planet.

I agree.

I love the summers here in Colorado. Don't have AC and there's probably only 2 weeks of the summer that I miss it. Temp drops 30+ degrees every night and all you need to do is crank up the attic fan.

Hell, even the winter is much better than KC.

Sure, I've considered it. Unfortunately, I'd have to take a big pay cut - to make decent money, I have to be downtown.

I'm much calmer now, BTW. :)

I wouldn't be surprised if I'd posted a thread like this every year about this time - after a hot nasty day in late August or early September when I've just finally run out of patience for it and snapped.

I hate the summer as well Fraz. I enjoy winter much more,

Got to turn on the a/c to keep cool in the summer. In the winter I'll just put on more clothes in the house to keep from paying that huge gas bill.

How espensive would it be to keep our 870 sq ft. house warm at around 72? I'm pretty sure we don't have good insulation either.

i'll take the heat. That is all.

Thats a bit chilly. 72 for the hi, and 55 for the lo. You'd never need AC or heat...

Its about 82 and breezy here in LA.

I'm sick of Summer, but her caddy Autumn is still pretty hot.

Yeah I have to say I'm sick of summer as well. It's even worse when you have to work in the shit. My A/C unit is a POS, I can barely keep my house cool, in the winter I can crank up the woodstove and keep my house 90 friggin' degrees with no problem. No effing yard work to do in the winter either. **** YOU SUMMER, YOU SUCK!

I enjoy the winter here in Kansas City. People in Florida made me laugh though when it got down to 65 people were wearing winter coats and stocking caps.

Central Illinois has definitely been a doggy bastard this summer, but atleast the midwest gets its 4 seasons, the more i've lived in other climates...the more i like the midwest' seasons & i cant WAIT for fall.

Lightly warm days & crisp, breezy nights.

Perfect weather + football = What a great time of the year.

So.... what's the over/under on when Frazod start a winter rant, wishing spring/summer was here?


:D

And smoggy.

See Post 6. Sure, by the end of February/beginning of March I'll have had a gutfull of winter, just like everybody else. In frazod's perfect world, every day the high would be 70 and the low would be 50, but that ain't happening anytime soon. So if I'm stuck with an extreme, I'll take the cold. I'd seriously take 20 below over the shit I swam through today.

Too cold - dress for it
Too hot - suffer, bitch

i like the heat it seems like it gets me unhung over faster. Ususally i just wash up on some rock either in a lake or in my yard after a long night at the bars and i just bake in the sun and sweat the whiskey out. in the winter I can't freeze it out of me

AMEN Brothah!!!!!

I think I know where you are all coming from. It's Called Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder-RSAD


Seasonal affective disorder, also known as S.A.D., winter depression or the winter blues is an affective, or mood, disorder. Most SAD sufferers experience normal mental health throughout most of the year, but experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer. The condition in the summer is often referred to as Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder.

SAD can be a serious disorder and may require hospitalization. There is also potential risk of suicide in some patients experiencing SAD. One study reports 6-35% of sufferers required hospitalization during one period of illness.[3] The symptoms of SAD mimic those of dysthymia or clinical depression. At times, patients may not feel depressed, but rather lack energy to perform everyday activities.[1] Norman Rosenthal, a pioneer in SAD research, has estimated that the prevalence of SAD in the adult United States population is between about 1.5 percent (in Florida) and about 9 percent (in the northern US).

What a damn shame.

:spock:

Yeah, I guess I could have this stupid disorder.

Or perhaps I just hate the heat and humidity because I'm fat, Dr. Freud.

But in case I do have RSAD and decide to check myself out over it, I'll be sure and take you and Norman with me.

:whackit:

Football message boards must totally turn coffee shop girls on.

"Hey ladies, check out my post count!"

Bullshit. I've been able to see to the ocean and the San Gabriel's for the past week. Perfectly clear skies. The natural gas Rapid Metro Service along with the subway have gone a very long way to help to keep the skies over Los Angeles very clean and clear. While it's not perfect, tremendous strides are definitely being made.

Thanks for playing.

I don't mind the summer so much, but it was great sending the kids back to school this week.

Yeah. "Babes, give me some reps for my post!"

I'm just the opposite, Frazod. Sure, I agree that when the heat is in the upper 90s or into the 100s with the high humidity in the Midwest, it is oppressive. But other than those short periods of extreme heat, I love Summer time. I love getting out and playing hoops, swimming in the pool, walking the dogs, biking, camping, etc. Hell, even just firing up the grill, sitting on the patio drinking a Sam Adams, and smoking a cigar while my steaks cook is very enjoyable to me. That is not really an option in the Winter. I can't do many of those things in the Winter. Just being outside in the Winter sucks, even when you dress for it. Plus, you have all of those days that are cloudy. I get cabin fever. I hate Winter.

Screw yardwork! I just let the sun torch my lawn. We use the water for the pool.

The older I get the more I hate summer. I love the spring and fall and absolutely hate winter.

I would almost classify myself as having S.A.D. I get totally bummed out in the winter time. I put on about 10lbs, get depressed and inactive. I can't do anything outside that I enjoy.

I really wish it were 90° all year other than hunting season and Christmas....

Yep, SoCal probably has the best constant climate in the country, but if you like a little variety, you can't beat the Denver/Colorado Springs area, IMO. Sunshine all year round, summers don't get too hot, and surprisingly winters are pretty reasonable too. It snows, but melts off pretty quickly. Aside from being filled with Broncos fans, it's one of my favorite places.

No way, New England has the best weather :p

what could be better than having one day be cold and rainy, the next day 95 degrees and humid, then the next day be back to cold. There is no consistancy what so ever up here.
