What are the things you hate about the summertime in ireland?

arsenallegend

I mean what gets on your nerves when you think about summers in Ireland
something that might just drive you insane cause you hate it so much

For me is having horrible Euro dance music blasting at all times of the day and night from the neighbours:mad:

Sitting in work while everybody's out havin the laugh..

Kiera

The rain.

Dunjohn

The sun.

I'm a rain person.

You could try talking to your neighbor or failing that report them, don't let their loud music ruin your summer.

The only bad thing about the summer is when it rains otherwise I love it, I love June when we have 18 hours of daylight.

I always find it warmer in April and May then rather in June whioch like July has been awful the past few years.

I always have a word but two days later its the same again. I don't mind them listening to music but its the type of music they listen too i dislike.

The general impression is that it rains quite a lot of the time in Ireland but in fact two out of three hourly observations will not report any measurable rainfall. The average number of wet days (days with more than 1mm of rain) ranges from about 150 days a year along the east and south-east coasts, to about 225 days a year in parts of the west.

Only 1mm of rain in a day is hardly monsoon season, and less than half the days of the year have any rain at all.

Also seen as i have hay fever the cutting and smell of fresh grass is a killer:(

So when they say "wettest summer on record" they're only winding us up?

Caoimhín

Semi-dressed knackers.

positron

Kids playing (usually screaming their heads off) on the green well past midnight, keeping me awake!

Biggins

The tiny flying insects that pop out along country roads.

El Weirdo

Mundy- July.

The utter lack of what could be readily quantified as such.

scumbags walking around topless drinking cans of dutch gold in every green space in dublin.

RAIN! Every holiday I've had in Ireland over the past eight years, there's been at least three days out of seven that have been completely washed out. I don't know, maybe I've just been unlucky, maybe I pick the wrong weeks to go on holiday. At any rate, I'm in no hurry to go back to Ireland permanently.

When you get woken up at 6am by a large fly that sounds like jumbo jet and you go back to sleep hoping it was just part of your dream, only to be woken up again and again by the stupid fecker hitting into the window.

melissavm

Wasps, bumblebees and midgets. And allergies.

BigDuffman

Knackers migrating on the dart to nicer areas wearing trackie bottoms, a cap, with their ben sherman shirt off and draped over their arm swilling away at cans of dutch, whilst listening to sh!te Euro Dance filth like scooter.

Travel in herds with their hands curiously shoved down the front of their trousers, cause trouble leave nothing but rubbish and cans in picturesque areas.

That and pesky wasps trying to sting me!

arsenallegend

when there's no football on but thank god the world cup is on and will help with my fix of daily football:D

Azureus

Being stuck in work when its sunny and all my mates are in a beer garden somewhere!

The smell of freshly cut grass is brilliant. Always lets me know that summer is here!!

Noffles

Quiet estates becoming noisy estates.... kids out till all hours, running around and for some reason shouting at the top of their voices??
The sun then suddenly the PISSING RAIN...???
Hangovers on sunny mornings... awful.
The almost constant sound of lawn mowers...

Lots of things I do like but I hate the above!

Noopti

Obese, pasty skinned women looking like they borrowed some clothes from their 11 year old daughther, subjecting everyone else to seeing their rolls of lard flapping about over their bulbous crotch region which is barely being contained within the tight pink lycra leggings they are wearing.

MitchKoobski

Being at the beach for the one day you're off and dropping food in the sand or getting sand in your drink, and then having someone say "ah sure it's only sand".
Yeah, only sand people having been walking on and dogs have been pissing on.

Not if you have pollen allergy/hayfever.

El Siglo

Fucking ice-cream van with the stupid fucking music. I'm going to be doing my masters thesis at home this summer and trying to write about δ13C and C/N ratios isn't that easy with that shite-hawk coming into the housing estate three or four times a day. Fucking summer, I fucking hate it.

xzanti

1. Scumbags congregating in parks, beaches, boardwalks, median strips.. basically anywhere to drink cans of Dutch on a deck chair..
2. Traffic jams on every road to every beach the minute a flek of sunshine comes through the clouds
3. Ice Cream vans barrelling onto your road at 11PM with their sirens blearing
4. The smell from the Liffey
5. Hay fever
6. Wasps
7. Muffin tops, builders cracks and other visual treats* on display
8. Can't get a seat in the beer garden

I'm sure there's more..

I'm generally a moany fcuker :cool:

I hate not being there in summertime. I live abroad.

I actually love summertime in Ireland because you can go for long romantic walks in the evening and wear lovely summer clothes.
And everybody is happy.

Nah, mate, they all help in the pollination process and various other advantageous activities. Wasps, bees, ants....all good guys.

Bag grease!!

Trying to walk around in the stinking heat with your clackers marinating in clear fluid and the crotch of your jocks damp and sticky, while your arse crack acts as a funnel to feed down the salty sweat from your back into the same grease trap.


That, and fcukers in those cargo shorts with the fcuking pockets on the side...

I hate having conversations with GAA nuts when I'm only passively interested in GAA, and can barely hold my own in a conversation.
