I thought I should do a blog of some of the things I hate around this time of year. Year in and year out I've always been annoyed by most of these things ever since I was a child growing up.
1. Like some of you all may know, I live in the Caribbean and we have 2 seasons, a dry and wet. I really love the wet season because the heat does calm down a bit when it rains but it is often just too humid and it's sometimes just as bad as the hot climate.
2. With the increase in rain, there's an increase of creepy crawlies and they have a habit of invading my house. These include snakes, centipedes, millipedes, lizards and frogs...lots of frogs...multiple varieties. The most annoying frogs are the tree frogs which come through the windows and into the rooms. They are harmless, but extremely annoying.
3. With the increase in rain, I sometimes have to wash my car multiple times a week.
4. I hate day light savings time! Why? Because we don't use it here and most of our TV programs come from the US. Therefore all programs now start 1 hour later!
5. I hate overspending money for the holidays
6. I hate going shopping or even going out during this time. There's just too much traffic, places are overcrowded and finding a parking place is an utter nightmare.
7. The holidays always bring family and friends together, but sometimes it can get annoying when there are little untrained children running about the place making a mess that I would have to clean up later and I have little to no privacy. It's like "what does this button do?" or "why is that guy shooting the other guy"
8. For whatever reason throughout the years power has a habit of going regularly during this time.
9. All the 'birth of Christ' and Christian preaching really gets under my skin because I consider myself an atheist and I hate it when people try to shove their beliefs down your throat.
10. Delays in shipping. I do a lot of online ordering and most of the times, my stuff arrives in the country on time, but with the extra flow of packages this time of year it sometimes takes additional days to process and inspect them.
Wow! I actually got 10. I was aiming for 5 but whatever.

I also have wet and dry times of year instead of the regular seasons - just not so extreme but I remember from the Philippines how bad they can get and I am glad I don't have to put up with that.
I'd love to stay somewhere warmer!I would LOVE the frogs too- I'd probably wind up feeding them and encouraging them to come and live in my house! Not too sure about the centipedes though, they've got a nasty bite don't they?
As for the car... I wash mine about twice a year because I know it's just going to get dirty again pretty soon
I've given up trying to keep it looking all shiny and new - it's black too so that's the hardest colour to keep clean!And I know what you mean about number 9, my whole family is atheists so my dad gets really angry when people start going round door to door bothering everyone. He usually tells them we're all Satanists and that he's going to get his shotgun if they don't leave pretty sharpish
You should see their faces! (for the record, he doesn't actually have a shotgun lol)
My condolences. I can't stand centipedes and millipedes. I don't think the snakes/lizards/frogs would bother me too much, but then again you live in the Caribbean. I don't know what they're like there
I also agree with #9. Even as a Christian, I hate when people force their beliefs on you >.>
@ Gallego - I can sell you some at discounted prices. Buy 10 and get 1% off the 11th
@ Dinkyfish - Actually the Centipedes in this region are mostly the large poisonous type. Most of them are a few inches to a foot long.
@ N-REAL - A mazda 323. I believe it's a 2003 or 2004 model.
I guess my advise to you would be to watch your spending and order early.Don't let outside forces bring you down.
