I don’t mind getting wet

I cycle to work rain or shine and if I get wet I hardly think about it. My colleagues however make such a drama of the rain looking to make out it’s an issue for me when it just is not. Our office is on a trading estate with a really good safe cycle lane into it. Once I reluctantly accepted a lift in stormy weather, it took absolutely ages stuck in traffic, and now when it’s raining that colleague rolls his eyes and says “looks like you’ll be needing a lift” even though I’ve never asked. I know they think they are saving the day but I don’t even care about getting wet and wish they would mind their own business.

Doesn’t it depend on what you’re wearing? (I thought this was going to turn out to have been written by my cat, who, contrary to stereotype LOVES going out in the rain and getting soaked.)

So tell them no thank you, I have my bike. I don't want a lift.
