Why Do So Many People Hate The Rain?

[ConvergenceZone]

Okay, so I realize you can't have picnics and do other outdoor activities, but I live in Sacramento, and lots of people I work with seem to hate the rain.

I guess it just makes me upset, because I wonder, don't these people realize where our drinking water comes from? Don't they realize they they couldn't take showers, water their lawns, swim in their pools etc, without the rain? You would think that alone would keep them from hating the rain so much....

For some reason this really bugs me......

I hear ya.. They have no respect for water or how the physical world works and think hamburgers grow on trees..lol

Hamburgers don't grow on trees?? I'm not sure it bugs me, but your point is well taken. It does amaze me how many people really have no idea "how it all works" and water is definitely one of those things. To me way too many people take way too much in their lives for granted without appreciating what they really have. I guess this has to do with the weather and winter since we are talking about rain.

No.. its not so true...I love rain so much.

Rain is a blessing of God !
I think they do not like water!

I understand we need rain to live and thrive, but I don't enjoy the rain either. I wouldn't say hate, but I would rather see the sun than rain.
Its depressing, dangerous to drive in, backs up traffic, gets your shoes dirty, messes up your hair, keeps all the children inside under your feet, if your roof leaks it sucks, I could go on and on. I mean if I were single, jobless and childless I guess sitting back and watching and listening to rain would be calming and peaceful, but no such luck. I do remember those days of enjoying a rainy day but not so much anymore. That old song we all know didn't come about by chance...Rain rain go away come again another day, I think most people don't enjoy the rain.

I like this topic because I have a confession to make and I wonder how many of you might agree with me? I get really bored with the weather if it sunny and fair day after day. In the summer I look forward to the possibility of an afternoon thunderstorm to observe, and during the winter I can't wait for the next frontal passage with the changes it can bring. And yes, sometimes these changes inconvenience me, but I still like it better than the same monotonous weather day after day. I guess that's why we are all crazy weather watchers around here. You'll notice that there are no forums dedicated to fair, stable weather.

I used to get bored with sunny, fair days but now I really like them. Maybe this is because I lived in Syracuse, NY for 6 years. Sunless days without end in the winter.

I've lived all my life in Florida, so I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like. But notice that even in your case, it's the lack of change in the weather (to the opposite extreme) that you found boring. I guess it's the changes that I look forward to. Just like near the end of summer I start looking forward to fall and winter, while by the end of winter I am looking forward to spring and summer. They each have their own attendant weather that is enjoyable to observe.
