if you’ve never been to florida, the heat is absolutely miserable. and when the power goes out, as it does every time there’s a hurricane, then you’re fucked, and all the food in your fridge is bad the next day, because it’s 90+ inside the house now. plus, thousands of gallons of water that just flooded your neighborhood are now in the air as humidity, make everything exponentially worse.
this is ignoring the fact of being surrounded by asshole floridians
Floridian here and you basically described it to a tee. Why are there so many entitled assholes here? I can’t leave my house for 5 minutes without encountering some of the worst people society has to offer.
The heat and humidity are ultimately what’s driving us away. When summer hits, we basically don’t go outdoors at all because it’s 1000% fucking miserable.
Studies show that feeling hot makes people act grumpier
Plus it makes your brain perform more poorly. This all tracks with Florida.
it’s true, when it’s unbearably hot and i have no option for reprieve, my patience for people drops to basically nothing
that said, i go out of my way to avoid human contact, rather than act an asshole to everyone in sight
I actually looked this up a little while back while talking to a friend about how impatient drivers are here. There are studies that show this to be the case.
Went to Miami a couple of times for work, they warned me about the humidity, I dismissed it as I grew up in a former swampy area, next to a bigass river, an area known for its unrelenting humid heat.
I had no idea it could be so much worse.
These Florida migrants are gonna terk er jerbs!
