How tedious. It is only the 2nd of June and such banal comments are driving me mad. Yes. It is sunny. It is weather. You're an adult, aren't you used to the change in seasons yet? I know IBU but am in a grumpy mood today!

I think people are just genuinely happy to see some sun! yabu

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 04/06/2013 11:26

well, if we didn't have weather about %50 of the population would be incapable of starting a conversation Smile

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 04/06/2013 11:27

lovely day by the way... just a tad windy for me but dries the washing well doesn't it Smile

FaithLehane · 04/06/2013 11:32

It's the 4th of June today...

Pootles2010 · 04/06/2013 11:33

Maybe its because they're struggling to think of something to talk to you about?

LuisSuarezTeeth · 04/06/2013 11:35

Met office have just announced "on Wednesday 5th June there will be absolutely no weather at all". Michael Fish has hinted at a government enquiry. Shocking.

Mintyy · 04/06/2013 11:36

Oooh I love talking about the weather!

squoosh · 04/06/2013 11:38

Y.A.B.V.U

It's what we do! No weather chat means people stranded at bus stops with their mouths opening and closing but no words coming out.

WorraLiberty · 04/06/2013 11:41

Yes it's the 4th of June

Or are you just very slow at typing? Grin

Either way YABU. I'd sooner strike up a friendly conversation about the weather, than just stand there ignoring everyone.

angelos02 · 04/06/2013 11:45

OK. IABU. And I don't know what day it is. Think I'll go back to bed!

Yabvu! It's been snowing and raining since last November. We didn't have a spring. Ofcourse we're going to talk about the nice weather. And don't you bloody dare complain about it being too hot and jinxing it for us all!

LadyBeagleEyes · 04/06/2013 11:53

Lovely day today, Op.
Nice to see the sun.

squoosh · 04/06/2013 12:06

Great to have the long stretch in the evenings don't you think OP?

wigglesrock · 04/06/2013 13:50

Oooh I like it hot, but not this hot!

ifancyashandy · 04/06/2013 15:19

It's gorgeous! And not even that hot. Will be soon hopefully!

BeauNidle · 04/06/2013 15:32

Not hot enough for me yet. I like stinky hot.

BadgersRetreat · 04/06/2013 15:36

You think Brits are bad? Come to Canada...they are obsessed with the weather here. TBF we do have some batshit crazy weather at times though.... Grin

It's lovely today - we've had rain for a week so nice to see the sun again.

infamouspoo · 04/06/2013 15:43

too hot
Saw a cloud earlier.
Grin

MalcolmTuckersMum · 04/06/2013 15:52

It's so hot today isn't it? Except when that wind blows - then it's really cold. Freezing actually. And are those rain clouds I see on the horizon? I bet it's going to piss down. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there was snow by the weekend. God. It's so hot isn't it?

Pagwatch · 04/06/2013 15:53

But what can people talk about

'how are you' - you don't really care
'how many children do you have' - how rude!
'your baby is sweet' - don't touch him
'ah , he's crying' - yes I know he is fucking crying. Are you trying to say I am an idiot'
'that's a nice dress. I can't wear those - I am too skinny/fat/flat chested' - fucking rude! Are you saying I am fat/skinny/have breasts like melons
Isn't the weather nice - boring twat
Isn't it freezing - boring twat
'are you going somewhere nice' - what are you, a stalker?
'do you just have the one child ' - what do you mean just one? Is one not enough for you, you judgy cow
'gosh five children must be a lot of work ' - are you calling me a fucking brood mare.

If I can't talk about the weather I am not going out anymore.

PostBellumBugsy · 04/06/2013 15:54

I am very tedious, because I love talking about the weather. I love the "how much frost/ snow/ rain" conversations & "oh, it was 22 degs in our back garden yesterday". Love it, love it, love it. It changes all the time here in the UK, so it is never boring!!!!!

Today, where I am it is a fine sunny day with light breeze and some high thin altostratus clouds and a very few puffs of stratocumulous.

LadyBeagleEyes · 04/06/2013 15:55

GrinPagwatch.
Clouding over a bit now.

ExcuseTypos · 04/06/2013 15:55

What do you like to talk about OP?

LoopyLooplaHoop · 04/06/2013 15:56

I miss talking about the weather. DH and I now talk abiut the UK weather if we're in need of conversation. We live in Malaysia. (30degress, humid, no seasons, rains at 4 o'clock).
