Stay indoors and dont spoil it for the rest of us

Summer is definitely my least favourite season, however there are parts of it I do enjoy so I try to focus on them and ignore the sweaty/sticky/suncreamy/pasty white mess that I become.

Last year I was heavily pregnant during the heatwave - so this year already feels a million times better!!

TwoZeroTwoZero · 31/05/2021 13:30

I don't like summer either op but try to make the best of it as there's nothing I can actually do about it!

MustBeTheWine · 31/05/2021 13:31

I wouldn't say I hate the summer but definitely prefer autumn and winter. Like PP has said I try and concentrate on the things I do like about summer.

osbertthesyrianhamster · 31/05/2021 13:32

I do, too.

How would the OP being outside 'spoil it' for you?

CounsellorTroi · 31/05/2021 13:46

I like it as long as it's not too hot. I hate being sweaty and sticky at night.

Arrierttyclock · 31/05/2021 13:51

I hate it as well. I like being indoors and being all cosy. I hate being too hot I get so uncomfortable. Dosent help that I work on a boiling hot department where people faint everyday. I'm pregnant this time so I'm dreading work and the summer

Rosewood017 · 31/05/2021 13:56

For me autumn is the most magical exciting time of year. But it wouldn't be so without summer preceding it.

I do love the summer when it's here. Being able to go outside without wrapping up warm. Saving on heating bills. Light evenings. Sitting in the garden with an ice cream.

Dislikes are the bugs, having to wear sun cream, stinky bins, putting kids to bed when it's still sunny at 9pm, stuffy car and when it gets too hot you can't sleep.

someonelockthefridgealready · 31/05/2021 13:56

It's my least favourite season, as I don't like being too hot, but I adapted my days, so I get up around 4.30/5, do a longer dog walk, run, bike ride etc. then, sit in the garden for a late breakfast (on the weekend we might have breakfast out somewhere) and then pretty much hideaway for the rest of the day working with the fan on! But either I work from home or have air conditioning in the office, so I'm lucky that I can avoid the worst of the heat and I do an offset working day to avoid traffic anyway.

It's a bit of an effort to start getting up early for the first week, but it's worth it!

sapnupuas · 31/05/2021 13:57

It's all about autumn.

TheMNChicken · 31/05/2021 13:59

Agreed but it's right up there with kicking puppies and being in the KKK with things you're not allowed to admit to because apparently everyone should look being a lobster coloured uncomfortable mess. (Or maybe that's just me.)

SamW98 · 31/05/2021 14:00

I absolutely love summer and after a dark miserable lockdown winter, the sun being out has made my spirits lift

I can not bear the cold and dark and winter is just misery for me but each to their own

CounsellorTroi · 31/05/2021 14:00

Things I hate about summer

getting into boiling hot cars like ovens
hot sweaty sticky nights
wasps

ProfessorInkling · 31/05/2021 14:04

Honestly it’s been warm - not hot - for about five minutes. I’m all for a good moan in the middle of any extended period of difficult weather, whatever it is - but I wore a coat on the school run all of last week.

thismeansnothing · 31/05/2021 14:04

I hate it.
I work nights. It's too hot to sleep.
I hate feeling sweaty and hot just doing basic things like walking the school run. I hate applying sun cream. Getting in a boikio hot car. Just no.

Rol on winter

thismeansnothing · 31/05/2021 14:05

Boiling hot car even

Wallabyone · 31/05/2021 14:06

I LOVE summer! I love the warmth, the light, the endless light evenings with so much possibility, the clothes-everything! Sorry OP 🙈

LadyCatStark · 31/05/2021 14:07

YABU because you get 9 months of shit weather so please let us enjoy our 3 months of on-off nice weather! Some of us NEED it.

Snaketime · 31/05/2021 14:29

I agree with you OP, I hate it because;

  • I can't stand the heat as it causes me to have panic attacks
  • wasps
  • I have hayfever from March until August
  • The increased amount of people around
  • getting in hot cars
  • sunburn
  • it's too hot to sleep
shumway · 31/05/2021 14:34

Totally agree.

Mygardenisanightmare · 31/05/2021 14:35

We've not exactly reached the can't sleep at night stage though have we, it's only been mildly warm for 48 hours!

MangosteenSoda · 31/05/2021 14:36

Lucky for you that we have had almost perpetual winter this year then Grin

Cottagepieandpeas · 31/05/2021 14:41

I don’t like summer for most of the reasons mentioned.

I really don’t like people seeing my dislike as some sort of moral failing or worse, which some definitely do.

I’m not stopping others enjoying it. I just don’t enjoy it myself.

Today is too hot.
