Things you hate about this time of year..

for me...it's Christmas decorations out before Halloween.

Sweet Talkin Romeo

the cold be high on us list 😒🤗

Having to change my seasonal go to conversational phrases.

Lol :D

Going upstairs, getting comfy but still cold and having to go back down to fill the hot water bottle 🙄

igCorcaigh

The lure of mushroom hunting but not finding any.

For Forks Sake

Anything prefaced with "pumpkin-spiced" 🤮

Montage of Feck

What cold? I've still got the bedroom window open or I can't sleep with the heat.

CPTM

The air sometimes gets a bit smoggy with all the fires being lit and it sort of sits there in the evening. Not nice when out for a run or walk.

"what cold?" hehehe 😁

My willy disappearing till April 🥶

By this time of year I assume you mean winter - in that case in all seriousness I absolutely hate that as soon as halloween is over you're into listening to shite about Christmas

I absolutely hate the run up to Christmas. Pure annoyance trying to sort a heap of things just for one day of sitting around eating a dry bird and talking waffle with the same people you talk waffle with every other day of the year. Then having to endure that no mans land of time between Christmas and new years where you don't know what day or time it is until new years eve.

If there was a button to skip December I'd hit it harder than I'd hit 1992 Pamela Anderson.

Tmi.

Gremlinertia

Wet, mild AND windy weather

And noone so far has mentioned..mice 😁 tbh I think they're cute little critters lol

freshpopcorn

The shock people have ever year when they relies that the Christmas stuff is in the shops early!

Impending darkness and the inability to do anything about it :D

Yup. I despise the scuttling little rodents. I have already reduced the mouse population of Planet Earth by one & my mission is to continue till they’re all gone. (Well, from Chez Jew anyway).

Just get out the warm clothes and make sure you have spare light bulbs, and candles.. oh and matches...

Fireworks going off when it's still bright, well I don't like any Fireworks but what's the point of putting them off in daylight?

whisky_galore

Halloween decorations, pumpkin farms, and the Yankeefication of everything in this country.

We practically invented Halloween and had our own take on it, but we rolled over and embraced the plastic commercialised version. Many european countries besides ourselves have their own unique traditions and maintain them where we go all out to copy whatever Americans do on 'de telly'

pammy was looking good in '92

A hip or two would be broken

Vita nova

The sudden increase in electricity and heating bills, starts with getting a tank full of heating oil.

Driving to work in icy conditions, I dread it. Also trying to clear the car windows early in the morning when you're in a rush.

Akrasia

Clocks changing at the end of October. Sure you get an extra hour in bed, but you are literally plunged into darkness in the afternoon.

Anyone who doesn't think we should be on permanent summer time is plain wrong

We don't really get bad frosts like we used to years ago

Hippodrome Song Owl

Bangers from August to November.

Dark mornings (I like dark evenings though).

Spiders.

Struggling with all three of these this week.

Furze99

Quite like this time of year as well as spring. In fact I'd prefer both spring and autumn over summer & winter. Times of change maybe why.

bodhrandude

If you are self-employed, tax returns at the end of October.

Nope don’t agree. Darkness until 9 in the morning would be horrible.

Akrasia

When the clocks change, dawn will move from 8:30am to 7:30 am

And sunset goes from 6pm to 5pm

More people can use the light in the evening than in the morning

It's already dark, you're already probably in work. It's obviously not good but it's horrible when you watch it get dark at 4 **** 30. What benefit is a bit of extra brightness in the morning when most of us already have to wake up in the dark anyway. The only benefit and I'll give you this is if you actively go out of your way to get sunlight first thing in the morning. Sometimes in the winter I'll go out with just shorts on just to get the sunlight.

I like a fire but as someone mentioned that smell and feel of walking through a place where the fire is on makes me queasy. It triggers memories of the 90's and miserable winters(winter doesn't seem as bad anymore) and just general gloominess. The air is so much fresher without them.

I also miss the sociability of the summer. I hate 'cosy' pubs. I much prefer a decent outdoor area on a long summer evening.

I do love Christmas, it's just a financial stressor when you have very little income and plenty of outgoings. You don't love Christmas anymore?

Sunrise is at 8:40 in mid December. That would be 9:40 if we stayed on summer time.

Too much spending and shopping at Christmas and then the buyers remorse.

The weather..

I went out without a jacket for a brief walk last week, brief became very brief it was so cold… a couple of days later, the same time in the evening, bringing a light jacket … I’m sweating like a dyslexic person on countdown.

Spanish Eyes

Am very fortunate to be going to Southern Spain for November. After the clocks change it brightens about 9am or so, but the sun goes down about 6 ish (long time since we went at that time so a bit hazy). When you're on a break it doesn't matter but the longer evenings do make such a difference along with higher (not mad) temperatures too and a BLUE SKY!. Weather can be hit and miss, but I'm not here and just potter from town to town on the local bus, all human life is there.

I did say I was lucky. Back for fkn Christmas which I do not like at all sorry. For family reasons want to be here for that just the same. When that's no longer a big thing I'll be gone from November to end of February. Cheaper than here anyway only the standing charges on energy to pay for!

And noone so far has mentioned

And you brought up another poster's spelling?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119721446#Comment_119721446

I don't really get the connection between that and where you quoted me? :confused:

Is that what theyre referring to in the other thread? Omg. Jaysis. I...no words.

Yes I did. I use to have a previous account here years ago and I remember that poster was often questioned about it and I was very supportive towards them. It was half joke/half curious as to what is a definite difference in their posting style. As I only know the poster as a series of letters on an internet forum, you tend to make observations.

The poster responded with what I interpreted as a joke back and I joked back with them. Unless the poster themselves want to pm me or if a mod has problem with it ..nothing to see here.

I was referring to your own incorrect spelling on an earlier post in this thread. It's ironic that you mentioned another poster's spelling in that respect.

I've no idea how other threads or previous accounts are relevant to what I posted.
