Right, so, I’ve never been the biggest lover of rainy days. People always think I’m crazy, saying things like “But you can snuggle up on the couch with some popcorn and a movie” or “It’s the best weather to have sex”.
Now, I totally understand those points.
But…
When last have you snuggled up to a movie when it’s raining? How often do you shag when it’s raining? These things are ONLY possible on the weekend, and if you don’t have other things to sort out on the weekend you must have a pretty easy (read: boring) life. I always have things to do on the weekend. Shopping. Socialising. Gym. Work. The occasional extreme sport. I don’t have time to do nothing, which is my fault, perhaps, but this is what I choose. Apart from helping things grow, the rain sucks. Why?
1. People drive terribly…
2. …causing more accidents
3. It erodes the road I live in
4. It messes with my hair
5. It hides the sun
6. It makes everything wet and slippery
7. Thousands of people have to wash their cars the following day
8. It makes dogs smelly
9. You can’t go for a walk in the park, or on the beach
10. It makes emo kids happy. Which defeats the point of being emo.
There are probably more reasons, but at this point I think these will suffice. Go away rain, I want hot sun and plenty of it. Ta.

Look…I like the rain. I have one of the biggest private umbrella collections in JHB as far as I know. But this is getting a bit ridiculous. Feels like the two months of solid no stop rain I had in CT for winter last year.

I’m anti rain too! Who needs cold, wet days? Total waste of cleavage …

Hahaha. I’m in full agreement there!

I have to agree with you as well, but there is the up side the watching movies under a blanket which is exactly what I did yesterday as I was off sick and able to do just that and didn’t have to deal with the idiots on the wet roads and traffic

Hahahahaha! I love the rain but I love your point 10 more! LOL
Shit, justBcoz also has a VERY valid point! What about a quick shower in Brazil on a hot day. Wet t-shirt? I’m back to loving the rain!

The total waste of cleavage mentioned by justBcoz – makes sense, but the issue is the fact that now days the prevalence of man boobs, I am all for the freaking rain. Needing to qualify that though – rain at night would be nicer. And bleach in the eyes on Man boob hot days.

I love the rain. It only becomes a problem when it rains everyday for a week and its just cold and miserable
