Blogger's Note: I know this isn't the most timely of pieces. I saved this blog for this time of year on purpose. I wanted to prove a point that bad weather is only a temporary problem, lasting only a few days. Living in a city of dicks is year round.
How to recognize them: They live somewhere like Las Vegas, Southern California or Hawaii. When there’s a snowstorm in the Midwest or the Northeast, they text or post annoying things on Facebook regarding the weather.
Frequently heard saying: “It must suck to have to shovel snow. It’s 70 degrees here and there isn’t a cloud in the sky.” “I have to go to the doctor to get myself checked for skin cancer. I’ve been spending way too much time in the sunshine.”
Why they bug: Just because the weather is nice where you live, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other problems that far outweigh the good. Las Vegas is crawling with douche bags. Californians are flakes. The cost of living in Hawaii is high. It still rains in most of these places. Give me the northeast, where not everyone is ultra obsessed with superficial things like their appearance. Poor weather also breeds a sense of urgency. We want to accomplish things before the bad weather arrives and get home before the roads suck.
Their retort: “While you’re out rushing around, I’ll be poolside.”
My response: I’m willing to sacrifice a few days where I’m snowed in and can’t get where I need to be. Sometimes it’s nice to avoid the rest of the world.

Yes, and we tend not to have earthquakes or catastrophic hurricanes and a lot less skin cancer.
ReplyDeleteIf you're cold, yopu can put on a sweater. Too hot? There's absolutely nothing you can do except stay inside burning energy running an air conditioner.
