..apart from being f*in too hot of course

I get irrationally annoyed when weather forecasters say 'The mercury reached...'

Flies
Coming in windows on shady side of house.
Chocolate in cupboards going white.
Butter melting if left out by mistake.
Anyone who says ‘lovely weather’ or ‘what a beautiful day’ - this at any temp in this country over about 82.
The fact that at certain temps ice cream is no longer refreshing but just too heavy.

Shitty buzzing insects, twatty tourists EVERYWHERE, boiling hot car, trying to keep guinea pigs cool, soaking wet underboobs and zero energy to do anything.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 10/08/2020 18:08

Jealous of all who can go out in full heat and spend time outdoors without looking like a sweaty, red mess.

Under boob sweat.

LadyCatStark · 10/08/2020 18:13

The media portraying that there’s a heatwave across the UK when it’s actually just the south 😢

YgritteSnow · 10/08/2020 18:17

My teens not answering the door to Amazon bringing The Powerful Fan, because they didn't hear the bell due to having headphones on Angry

JustAPassingFashion · 10/08/2020 18:25

Fucking everything. Especially anything within 30cm of me.

CaptainCallisto · 10/08/2020 18:28

LadyCatStark I'm in North Yorkshire and it's 31 degrees. Maybe not as hot as the South East, but still about ten degrees too hot for me!

DelphiniumBlue · 10/08/2020 18:28

Yes, underboob sweat, itchy, driving me crazy.
Also, if i lie down on the sofa with the fan pointing at me, it's cooler but the noise of it is really irritating.
My usual overheating treatment is to find a nice shopping mall with aircon and hang out for the day there, but that's no fun wearing a mask.
I feel as if my life is on hold, first Covid and now I can't do anything because of the heat. Then it'll be September and back to work.

FrankiesKnuckle · 10/08/2020 18:29

Bring peri menopausal I'm hot anyway.
Now I'm hotter.
With hot feet. I hate hot feet.
Why do feet get hotter lying down and not in use?!
Just why?

VenusClapTrap · 10/08/2020 18:29

The world’s largest spider falling in through the wide open skylight as I walked up the stairs to bed and falling on my face. ON MY FACE. All 14cm legspan of it.

DelphiniumBlue · 10/08/2020 18:30

What about Scotland, is the weather bearable there, are they accepting tourists, and are there loads of midges? I feel it might be a good place to go right now.

longwayoff · 10/08/2020 18:30

Everything. Ugh. So HOTAngry

Heartofglass12345 · 10/08/2020 18:34

Having sweaty underboobs

BestestBrownies · 10/08/2020 18:34

All the fucking mosquito bites and their fucking itchiness!!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 10/08/2020 18:35

Men actually anyone in manky, stained vest tops.

Hotandknackered · 10/08/2020 18:36

The feeling of suncream on my skin

longtompot · 10/08/2020 18:36

Having a shower to freshen up and cool off, only to be drenched in moisture again and feeling yuk :(

When the weather forecast promises a good downpour and or thunderstorm to help clear the air and it doesn't happen!

Chicchicchicchiclana · 10/08/2020 18:37

People complaining about the heat. We've just spent the weekend with someone who doesn't enjoy this weather. And she let us all know every 5 minutes! God almighty, it's a few days a year.

Tlollj · 10/08/2020 18:38

My glasses making my nose sweat.
My neighbours hundredth bbq this week.
My fucking hair.

BayLeaves · 10/08/2020 18:41

Housework

Relatives who complain about the weather all winter then moan as soon as it's above 25C as well.

spence246 · 10/08/2020 18:42

cooking dinner and then have everyone say its too hot to eat

boatyardblues · 10/08/2020 18:45

When my hair gets to long and my neck gets too hot. More of a problem this year with lockdown, but now fixed.

Everything DH does (apart from opening windows that I can’t reach without getting the step ladder out).

PuppyMonkey · 10/08/2020 18:50

I’m not in the south either, I’m in the East Midlands and the temperature is 29 degrees (my thermometer is in the shade too).

Notlostjustexploring · 10/08/2020 18:54

The fact I've booked and paid for an outdoor exercise class tonight.

When my husband or children want to hug me.

Small childrens' bedtime...

The fact my house has too many windows.

Just, urgh.

SomethingOnce · 10/08/2020 19:01

People having a bonfire so I have to close my windows to keep the smoke out. Fuckers.
