@dementedma

Everyone moaning sbout the heat as if they were living in Death Valley.
Death Valley isn’t humid though. It’s the humidity which makes the heat uncomfortable.

Watching unfit people on cycles desperately trying to ride up steep hills in seering noon heat...while you drive at .00000000001 miles per hour behind them praying they don't fall off or collapse in front of your car on a narrow bend.

My husband complaining that he’s hot, because no else is of course.

Buying things from eBay from a 'pet and smoke free home'.

We are a nation of smoking (not me personally) animal lovers so where are all these 'free of everything' homes??

Overexertion.

By that I mean, ordinary things that suddenly require allllll my efforts like undoing a padlock for the garage, carrying things in from the car, going up the stairs, moving.

Just moving in general really.

PuppyMonkey · 10/08/2020 17:33

Having to prepare something to eat when you can’t be arsed to move.

Not being able to take dog for a walk because it’s too hot.

Seeing sweaty men shirtless in the street.Sad

Kettledodger · 10/08/2020 17:33

Another one for everything and everyone

When dh cuddles into me in the night and I want my own space (mardy cow)

LioneIRichTea · 10/08/2020 17:38

always putting nice make up on and coming back in later with hairs stuck to my sticky face, a puddle where my back used to be, a bit of smudged mascara under one eye and some thunder bug just stuck to my sweaty red face.

BertieDrapper · 10/08/2020 17:39

men walking around topless. WHY!!
If women have to then I don't see why they don't have to!

Also bras are so uncomfortable in this heat.

LioneIRichTea · 10/08/2020 17:40

Oh and having to blow dry your just washed hair with a fan pointing at you because otherwise you might melt and get so sweaty you need a second shower.

When the kids whine for snacks but won't eat their meals. My appetite is affected too but I have to make the effort to keep them alive.

Doing deconstructed meals now - meat as a snack, cold pasta as a snack, raw veg as a snack. Would be a hot meal any other day so it counts as real food/meal when it's this hot IMO.

elfycat · 10/08/2020 17:43

And all the soft chocolate. I like my dairy milk at room temperature - but not today's room temperature.

longtimemarried · 10/08/2020 17:51

Men who insist on baring their considerable beer bellies in public.

toastmeahotcrossbun · 10/08/2020 17:51

I've given up on bras and would happily go topless if it wouldn't frighten everyone Grin Also given up blowdrying my hair it looks shit

I think all of these sound annoying but most especially cats. Couldn't be doing with cats near me just now.

Massive sympathy to those pregnant and with newborns right now

Wasps and flies
And yes, topless men (with one or two exceptions)

itsgettingweird · 10/08/2020 17:54

Shall I list what doesn't? It'll be shorter.

Here it is ..........

longtimemarried · 10/08/2020 17:56

Just thought of another one.......newspapers who continue to print photographs of crowded beaches with little or no social distancing .....think Covid.

coconuttyhead · 10/08/2020 17:56

People who say “isn’t this weather glorious” in an orgasmic way - fuck off Angry

strugglingwithlife · 10/08/2020 17:57

Having PMT alongside an irritable baby (who I adore), as well as sweat dripping every time I go anywhere where a fan is not

strugglingwithlife · 10/08/2020 17:58

And flies Angry

managedmis · 10/08/2020 17:58

Slathering sun cream on

Urrgghhh

managedmis · 10/08/2020 17:58

And yes to top less men

Just let me see eyes and forearms please

user1471538283 · 10/08/2020 18:01

I love the heat. I hate my neighbours thinking that they are the only one who can enjoy it with the shouting and shit very loud music...
