It’s a natural, normal, common bodily function. We all go through it, but some people experience it more than others. I’m talking about sweat … Gross, I know. While I wouldn’t consider myself an excessively sweaty person year round, during the brutal Missouri summers I find myself constantly sweating. I sweat at home, at work, in the car, everywhere. So as the temperatures have been rising, I've spent my time sweating and compiling the unfortunate problems that sweaty people face daily.
1. Summer is your nemesis.
You want to love Summer just as much as everyone else but you’re well aware that you will be spending the entire season miserable and drenched in sweat.
2. You simply cannot wear light color shirts.
It feels much cooler to wear a shirt that isn’t black or navy but you know light colors are off limits because of the embarrassing and clearly visible sweat stains that will never go away.
3. "Check yourself before you sweat yourself!" Umm ... Too late.
While we’re talking about clothing, sweaty people know the constant struggle of checking themselves for humiliating sweat stains. If you’re a sweaty person chances are, you are always checking for back sweat, butt sweat, feet sweat, and all other kinds of sweat. Not that checking yourself does anything but cause you to sweat even more ...
4. If a girl, there’s absolutely no point in applying makeup.
Makeup is expensive and it takes time to apply. When summer rolls around, girls who sweat easily usually just opt out of even wearing make up. “Are you crying? Your eyeliner is running!” “Um no, actually I’m just really sweaty.”
5. Hugs are off limits.
Seeing someone lurk toward you with their arms stretched out to give you a hug is enough to make you panic. You cannot even fathom giving someone a hug when you look and feel as if you just went swimming ... In a pool of your own sweat of course.
6. Standing anywhere near another person is also avoided at all cost.
Yes, hugs are bad, but if you're a sweaty person, chances are you've begged people not to even touch you in fear of dripping your sweat on them.
7. Sweat-stache.
Need I say more?
8. Sweating is expensive.
Sweaty people spend an ungodly amount of money on deodorant and body spray in an attempt to smell clean. Which is totally unfair considering no one ever asked to be cursed with a sweat problem.
9. “You’re sweatin’ like a pig!”
PSA: PIGS DON’T ACTUALLY SWEAT.
Here’s some information backing that up
