Minor things that bother you

[webny99]

While acknowledging it's a touchy subject (pun noted but not intended), I quite frankly don't believe in sunscreen either. If feasible, spending a little bit of time in the sun each day (in my case, typically by going on a midday walk) accumulates over time and makes one more likely to tan than burn, even with a fair complexion (though for some people, there's unfortunately just no way around this). Meanwhile, limiting sun exposure to no more than 2 hours per day or before/after the peak exposure hours of 10AM-4PM is typically sufficient to avoid sunburn. 

I didn't used to wear hats either, but I've started to wear a cap more often when out in the sun for any extended period. The shade really helps keep cool, reduce sweating and, now that my hair is thinning a little, prevents sunburn on top of my head.

Still better than wearing sunscreen or getting melanoma.

Sunscreen.  It gets all over the clothes you're wearing unless you're very careful.  It gets on whatever you sit on (presuming you're wearing shorts or a skirt, which you probably are if you need sunscreen and are sitting on anything you care about not getting sunscreen on).  It gets on whatever you touch (unless you wash your hands after applying it, in which case they aren't protected).  It needs to be rinsed/washed off afterwards (or just go for a swim, the only way that isn't a chore).  And it's very easy to miss a spot or have it rub off and get burned anyways.

I use the spray-on type and I never have any problems with it.

I've found that to be sticky too.  And it has the issue that you need to be outside to apply it.

It annoys me that just about all of the sunscreens that say they are "specially formulated for faces" leave a white film that makes you look kind of ridiculous.  It's tough to get rid of that until you can get to soap and water and give it a good scrub.

Nevertheless, this is my 16th summer living at elevation over 6000 feet, so for several months there's not much of an option to do without.

After a bad first experience with the sprays (my wife's friend ended up with sun poisoning after using a spray sunscreen), I've come to like the sprays.  I do need to spray it on then wipe it around to help get all areas, but I haven't had a burn in the past few years using it.  The only problem is, and this is true with lotions as well, as when I sweat, what's on my forehead gets in my eyes.  Then my eyes are irritated for a while.

I just go outside after dark.

Prior to sunrise runs and early morning hikes tend to be the way I avoid the sun.

I take wearing sunscreen more seriously than I used to after the dermatologist followed "your biopsy came back negative" with the word "but."

I use a long-sleeve sun resistant shirt, long sun-resistant pants, and a broad brimmed sunhat.  I only use sunscreen on my lower face, ears, and neck.

Pacific Northwest privileges. I worked as a groundskeeper at a golf course for a summer in college. Wearing pants or long sleeves after 9am had me dripping in sweat.

The material on sun specific clothing is much more breathable nowadays.

Agreed about the hands, it's annoying if you're not near a sink. But my biggest gripe is if I'm sweating (ex: working outside on a hot day), the sunscreen will drip down into my eyes and its stings. Still, I'm pretty good about wearing it because it doesn't take me too long to burn.

Better than getting melanoma; not better than wearing sunscreen.

It is but I would still rather just wear sunscreen.

Fair. I don't have the same issues that others have about it running, etc. I just don't like adding more chemicals to my body than necessary.

On Facebook when a stranger likes a post of yours or on Instagram they like your post. Then they hit you with a hi.

Unfortunately there are gold diggers and prostitutes that are looking for single men for sugar daddies. 

I ignore and block, but it is annoying when someone likes something you believe is morally correct and is using that for their own agenda mainly to get your attention.

I'm trying to imagine an actual hot chick sitting there, combing through Facebook posts, saying "Yep, that's the guy I can sucker."

My understanding is that this is an actual problem here in Las Vegas. The first phase of dating in LV is feeling the other party out to see whether they are a "professional".

I'm guessing that's more likely on Tinder, Hinge, etc. as opposed to just searching a random person Facebook to try to get to be your John.

A related annoyance:  reply comments along the lines of "I like your [post, photo, or other self-generated content].  Will you send me a friend request?"  I don't think I've ever had this happen to me, but it can be a real problem for women on Facebook, including ones in their eighties.

To be fair, I would imagine a lot straight dudes in the road community dream of meeting someone of the opposite sex into roads or road signs.

I'll assume you meant merging which is another road related double entendre.

I haven't heard about it happening on Facebook, but it's a problem in the more traditional ways of meeting people face-to-face, too, like at bars.

Great, so first dates can be even more stressful than they are anyway.

There's dreams, there's big dreams, there's delusions, and then there's the second half of that sentence.
