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

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

Oh, fucking everything man.

Weather presenters assuming this is a good thing. Not just because some people struggle with above 25C, but because for some businesses and farming especially it may not be good.

Rebelwithallthecause · 10/08/2020 19:45

It’s pure nonsense this weather

Rebelwithallthecause · 10/08/2020 19:46

Breastfeeding is not fun

I thought I was lucky not to be heavily pregnant this heatwave but breastfeeding means I’m still attached to a hot water bottle all day

Rockbird · 10/08/2020 19:53

Absofuckinglutely everything. Especially people who do the whole 'ooh it's not that hot' thing. Fuck right off. Angry

venusclaptrap Shock sounds horrific

Breastfeeding must be horrendous in this.

Yes the cast of a bug's life appears when you're lying in bed trying to get to sleep as well.

And the sweaty underboobs! no solution to it.

I got a takeaway in, couldn't face cooking

Everything.

I couldn't be arsed to cook so flung the family into the air conditioned car and went to the pub for tea.

Why did I think that it would be a good idea? Hmm The pub was roasting, DH got the meat sweats because he had a mixed grill. DD wanted to sit on my lap, and I just wanted to sit quietly with a pint of ice cubes 🧊

The DC needing things, like food at mealtimes.

JustCallMeGriffin · 10/08/2020 20:05

Smug arseholes who declare "we only get a few nice days a year, stop complaining" whilst I genuinely wonder if heat rage is a legal defence in the case of murder only half joking!

LimeLemonOrange · 10/08/2020 20:09

Flies

Butter melting into puddles

Being too ill to go swimming to cool down

Not being able to sleep

Oh god yes, topless men. Even if it was Chris Hemworth (and let's face it the specimens are generally either so skinny they have 'abs', or way the other end of the scale) it's still unnecessary in public.

The humidity, the damned humidity.

Matte sunscreen that makes me look like an oil slick.

AnneBoleynsHead · 10/08/2020 20:12

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

Yes to this. I love the heat, very jealous.

DadOnIce · 10/08/2020 20:13

People using the word 'glorious'.

Abracadabra12345 · 10/08/2020 20:15

@Chicchicchicchiclana

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.
It’s not “a few days a year” here in the South East. Summer started at the beginning of April. Winters have got shorter, warmer and wetter and spring is the new summer that goes on...and on. If only it was just a few days of the year!
newname81 · 10/08/2020 20:15

Eurgh everything.
Putting my DS to bed because his room makes me sweat, being 28 weeks pregnant with the worlds most active baby (a blessing I know but between the heat and the constant movements I get no sleep), where the effing hell have all the soleros gone?!
Also, why does water take so damn long to freeze?!
Not being able to at least have a cold refreshing alcoholic beverage to take the edge off GinEnvy

Abracadabra12345 · 10/08/2020 20:20

The media talking of people “basking “ in the sun and “this glorious weather “.

34 degrees C is an abomination. We should not be happy about such abnormal temperatures Sad

To answer OP:
Neighbours and their open plan living outside as they treat their gardens as a soundproof extra room

@coconuttyhead

People who say “isn’t this weather glorious” in an orgasmic way - fuck off Angry
T*his 100% ^ *

Pictures of cloud/rain/thunderstorms as ‘the heatwave ends’.

Not if you’re in the sodding South East it doesn’t!

I have this too. They have no 'garden voice' and are incredibly loud with very annoying laughs. I've bought those earplugs you use when drilling but that only cuts out about half the volume.
