# Reasons why people absolutely hate rains

Rain, rain go away!

1. Dancing in the rain is impractical and dangerous

hurt
Quite easy to get hurt on wet roads

Yes, we don’t know how some people don’t see the risks of dancing and playing in the rain. The rain isn’t pure as it was many years ago. It carries chemicals, pollutants, and toxins that are out in the atmosphere now. Also, there can be infections and diseases that you may catch outside. There is also a high possibility that you could fall and hurt yourself!

Umbrella doesn't completely protect you from getting drenched

While it rains “cats and dogs” on you, no umbrella can save you completely from the disastrous down-pouring! You will anyway reach your destination being partially wet, with your footwear wet and dirty.

3. Where is the romance?

It's not as romantic as people like to think

Rainy seasons are supposed to be so romantic but how do you indulge into anything with filthy wet clothes and sweaty bodies? *ugh*

4. Electricity cannot cooperate

no light
The power outage ruins the day

This inconvenience affects us greatly in a variety of our daily functions at work and home.

5. You get all dirty (from the mud, of course!)

So much mud and splatter

You jump into puddles, because unavoidable stuff, and then have permanent muddy track marks.

6. You look like a drowned, horrendous mess

messy hair
What a mess it is really

Oh, and the unmanageable and messy hair! You have our full sympathies. No one really wants wet hair and clothes.

7. Carrying the rain gears!

Having to carry all that extra stuff

Besides the futility and wastage of time in struggling with the opening and closing of umbrellas, you’d have to carry along the raincoats and umbrellas everywhere with you, thanks to the unpredictable rains!
