    Who gets chapped lips from a sunny day? Where are you, the fucking Sahara desert?

      Life in a northern climate at this time of year, my dude. Already had to bust out the chapstick from how dry it’s been.

    I nearly died from being out in the Sun too long, and yet as an adult I insist on lying out on the beach like a chicken leg on a grill (with water this time at least).

    I love all this and the fact that exposure to the sun can make my autoimmune disease worse and can actually do permanent damage to organs and could kill me if I get burnt bad enough. Got the diagnosis right after I got back into riding horses. -_-

    Jesus christ dude, if you get yourself into some kind of shape that isn’t round, you aren’t going to have these problems.

      I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.

      OP thinks sunny days are too hard. I have no idea how he survives rainy days. A bit of snow would kill him instantly.

      I only disagree with the drinking water one to be honest. The others I find legitimately annoying. I still wear sunscreen, but only because sunburn is even worse

        Doesn’t bother me; it’s 2 minutes to spray it on, and then re-apply every hour that I’m outside. As long as I’m wearing a hat to shade my face, I don’t have to worry about putting any on my face, and then sweating it into my eyes.

        Doing hard manual labor in the mid-day sun at the height of summer though? That’s def. unpleasant as fuck. I can do 2-5 hours, and then I’m just done for the day. I don’t know how some people can do that for eight hours a day, day in and day out.

          Try 10 to 12 hours outside working. If you work outdoors, you ain’t doing no measly 8 hours as a rule.

            Disagree; most people that work outside are still working for a wage, and OT pay kicks in once you break 40 hours in a week. That limits most places to 8 hours, unless you’re talking about undocumented immigrants that don’t have any labor protections, or people that are self-employed in some way.

              You’ve never been on a construction job site meeting a deadline have you? Been there, done that, got the tan, and I wasn’t an undocumented immigrant.
