Thanks to @cyclones500 for this suggestion based off of @JM4CY 's "Little Things I Hate About Winter" thread!

What little things do you hate about the other seasons? Do birds chirping in spring drive you insane? Do you also have a neighbor who only runs their mower at your child's bedtime? What else do you have?

I actually don't like birds chirping in the morning so I never have windows open.

Not a fan of bugs/bees.

Can't stand people leaving their dogs outside all day who bark.

Also don't hearing mowers all day.

Being pale, not a fan of always having to put sun screen on.

and finally, get off my lawn.

Summer used to be my favorite season, but anymore it has been so nasty out that it's hard to even enjoy swimming.
I still prefer summer to this winter hellhole outside.

My current favorite season is early fall, when it's still warm enough to wear shorts, but it gets nice and cool in the evenings. And of course it's football season.

Early fall is the best. Throw a jacket on in the morning and it's finally not humid out. I love going for runs and listening to podcasts gearing up for football season.

For sure, it does seem like we've had some summers where there are two types of weather: 1- very hot and humid or 2- raining.

Barn Swallows are the most annoying birds in the morning. Holy Hell.

I love spring/summer, but hate the allergies that go along with it. This zub-zero weather is actually great for my sinuses. I can breathe freely. Once the maples start to pollinate I'm completely miserable.

Our prior apartment had bushes/trees right next to windows of our ground floor apartment. Those mother ******* birds would start chirping at 3:45AM in June/July. Plus, the a/c was **** so a lot of warm nights we'd crack the windows.

Current house the trees are a decent distance so I can attempt more sleep. Don't mind other seasons too much though mosquitoes are awful.

In my parents house when I was growing up, my sister had one of the rooms on the main floor. There was a gap in the siding on that side of the house and some birds nested in the gap on year. They were so loud that she freaked out that spring. She's not the most easy going person to begin with but this put her over the edge.

I can take a pill to help with my allergies. There's no pill to help with freezing my ass off.

Nothing. I'll never speak ill of them again. Winter on the other hand can go fly a kite.
I really do enjoy the other three seasons and try to remind myself (and others) when it's 100F in the summer how much better that is than -10F in the desolate winter.

I'm absolutely retiring south (I lived in coastal North Carolina for a couple years and would love to get back there).
I've officially become old.

My neighbors are on older retire couple and they only mow their lawn in the evening. I get that they don't want to do it during the heat of the afternoon but it really kills our deck time, especially when we are grilling or just looking to tie one on.

I lived in coastal Virginia and the winter sucked. It doesn't get super cold like it does here but 35 degrees with that damp coastal breeze really cuts you to the bone.

What pill are you taking? I'll load up on generic Claritin stuff, and that'll get me through most days, but my pollen allergies are pretty severe. Round II is when the corn starts to tassel.
