Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Just a few examples of how rain can be utterly fucking shite:

- Getting soaked en route to work and having to sit for hours in cold, wet clothes

- Having to get a suit dry cleaned after it getting soaked

- Cricket literally can’t be played (I don’t play or watch it, but others do so can imagine that would be annoying)

- Golf is 100x worse if it’s raining

If you’re still genuinely struggling to grasp how rain can be annoying for people, I’d suggest you head over to the Calling Cards of Morons thread.

:lol:

Get the bus/car/taxi to work if it's raining.

Why is rain 'miserable'?

My petty thing has actually enraged me more than it should, I’m seething, but at myself for letting it bother me.
In a bar in Vietnam & a guy asks “what part of Jockoland are you from”?
I should have just brushed it off as him being a huge c**t.

Ask him what part of Brexitville he’s from? Assuming he’s English. But then he’s probably pro-Brexit so might not annoy him so.

I went to a gig last Friday. In the ten minutes it took me to walk to the Subway and from the Subway to the CCA it was raining so hard I was wet through to my underwear. I was almost dry when I left to go home, at ten past eleven. 

But no, in your world I should be paying £15 for a taxi to avoid that. Can't let that rain get the better of me!

So you ignore the other three points and make a ridiculous point about getting a taxi to and from work every day that it rains. I know you’re not this stupid, so I’ll leave you to it.

Why didn't you just carry an umbrella?

Having to carry extra equipment... Another shite point for rain.

I'm not arguing for or against - rain doesn't bother me personally - but to complain about getting soaked to the skin walking 15 minutes when it had been raining all day seems a bit silly.

What is 'miserable' about a wee bit of rain?!

Weather forecasters that use these terms such as 'miserable' are another of my PTTGOYN. 

I want to hear the results from the weather models, not their personal opinion of how it should affect us. 

With people citing how rain can be shite, sun can be shite too. I'll hear Judith telling me that it's going to be a "glorious" day of clear skies and 28 degrees, only to then have to slap the suncream on that'll be sweating off within 30 mins if I'm hillwalking. Cool, dry and clear is perfect in such instance (rain won't put me off, but fewer layers are better).

I'll often find that hayfever is noticeably worse on such warm days. That can do one. 

If I'm out caving and there's a long walk-in, this is f***ing miserable if you have to carry all your gear up in the baking heat wearing a fleece 'furry'. Getting burned or having to drag suncream around during a caving trip are two of life's cruel ironies. Some of these things are boring without water but superb when a river is bouncing through them. 

Basically, sun is overrated,this in part being the result of weather forecasters indoctrinating the masses.
