    its over 100 degrees most days this time of year, and my city is under MAJOR construction. Seems like a major project on all the major roads. So people use side roads and drive like idiots.

    Snowbirds.. Therefore, terrible drivers. Retirees, therefore, also terrible drivers. STEP ON THE GAS, IT'S JUST RAIN.

    Florida isn't all its cracked up to be.

    And if it's not the snowbirds and retirees, is the FREAKING TOURISTS!

    All of the above and lame, lame , lame. Where I live that is. Not the particular house I live in, but the town. An armpit. The rest of the state is nice.

    Way too humid, cockroaches, no bike lanes on main roads (or some roads simply aren't repaired enough to ride on), doesn't always feel super "safe", and no mountains :(

    You must be Canadian. But you forgot one part of the Construction season, the bugs!

    You're never without having to change your usual route to places due to all the road construction.

    The city's idea of art is canvases that look like they were left out in the rain and people who nail beer caps to planks of wood. So all the art snobs do is this horrible work; God help you if you can actually draw.

    Dead body every day. Lots of gun violence or people who can't drive.

    We practically have no spring and fall lasts all of 2 weeks! It's a long winter, short summer, I have never seen a real spring in my life, I honestly have no idea what it's like... I could go on and on about things wrong with my house... But otherwise I live in a wonderful place and I couldn't be more fortunate. This is the view from my dinner table:

    I live out in the country in northern Wisconsin, farming country. I can be fishing or hunting within 5 minutes of leaving my house. I have campfires in my back yard. I can see ALL the stars every night. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Down side: No food joint to deliver. House is old and crooked, fixing it up has become a nightmare. The "dairy air" is quite strong some days.

    Violent crime is increasing at an alarming rate here. It's always been bad, but the past few years the gang violence just seems to get worse and worse.

    Also, in general, people aren't very polite here. I try to go out of my way to be a polite driver, nice to tourists, and mind my P's and Q's. I don't like the bad rep that Boston gets so I try not to be a "Mass-hole".

    An unemployment rate of 21%, and a yapping/howling dog next door that my neighbor NEVER brings inside.
