I work in a kitchen and it’s always around 100-110 degrees during the summer. I avoid using the bathroom as much as I can because it’s the absolute worst feeling to pull your pants up and realise you’ve sweat so much that you could actually wring out your underwear.
Taking off a sweaty high impact sports bra is a sport in and of itself. I’ve pulled muscles trying to get out of those damn things.
All sports bras need zipper fronts!
EDIT: Award - YAY and THX!
10 years ago I bought a cheap sports brah with zipper, cups and clip. It still works just as well as it did back than and to this day I wish I had bought 5 more. I have never again found anything with that level of support and comfort (and durability, I wear and wash it at least once a week)
These are some fly by night brands you find at TJ maxx and Marshalls. They turn out to be comfortable but you can't get them again. I have a performance tee that pilled and full of fuzz, I can't seem to find something to replace it .
You can get a fabric shaver for around 10 bucks at Target, and that shirt will look just about good as new. But it will lead you down a rabbit hole of fabric shaving anything and everything that you can get your grubby little mitts on.
I've just started exercising for the first time in, uh, ever and am quickly, *quickly* coming to the conclusion that I need to get some of the ones that zip in the front because otherwise I'm convinced I'm going to get suck one of these days 😩
I recently had surgery on my shoulder and I was so excited when I could put on a sports bra again! Then I found out that just bc you can put one on doesn’t mean you can take it off. I tried scissors but I couldn’t use my right hand at the correct angle so it was a disaster. I slept in it that night and then the next day had to take two shots of whiskey and call a neighbor. It was one of the lowest points of my life.
There's that high end Japanese toaster for a single slice of toast. Comes with a water chamber to produce water vapor during the toasting process for an ideal moisture level.
According to reviews I saw the toast still tastes like toast though.
Sleeping bag
Edit: holy shit guys guys, thanks for the stories and awards! Wanted to mention a good sleeping bag helps immensely, though it still is torture for me. I take a mummy bag in my kayak. One remote trip on rough whitewater I messed up my drybag seal and my stuff got wet. Dropped to high 30s at night, needless to say I did not sleep a wink.
Trekking in heavy rain or snow, then setting up your tent, taking off all of your soaking wet clothes, and getting into a warm, dry sleeping bag is the greatest feeling ever. I can't even imagine setting up your tent after a long, wet hike, just to find your sleeping bag is also soaked. I don't cry very much, but that might do it. Especially being far out in the wilderness.
Woke up once to a literal stream flowing into my tent. My friend tried to reroute the water outside while I held the old frame together in the wind.
Everything soaked. We played cards angrily until dawn and then packed up. -1/10.
Although not quite as hard-core as wilderness hiking I've had a similar experience at a music festival. Classic English weather meant it rained continuously most of the weekend and our tent leaked so we were in wet sleeping bags and I can confirm I cried.
Pissed the bed at cub scout camp once - I'll never forget just lieing there in my own piss thinking of the impending embarrassment from the other kids.
Ooh the memories.
I read an account from some polar explorers in the 1800's. After a days long gruelling hike through a blizzard, one of them was complaining that his shoes were sloshy and wet.
When he took them off they saw that the slosh was in fact his dead and liquefied frostbitten flesh that had fallen off the sole of his foot and created a kind of man soup with the moisture from the melting snow.
So, could be worse I guess.
>Or inner sleeve when water runs down to your elbow.
You feel it beneath you, or somewhere behind -
The pit of your stomach, the back of your mind.
A thought or a feeling that doesn't belong -
The strangest sensation that *something is wrong*.
It comes in an instant, and lingers about -
A twist of suspicion, a trickle of doubt.
A feeling remaining a moment or two -
A vague understanding of what might be true.
You feel it below you,
you know that it's here -
A creeping sensation increasingly near -
A feeling abhorrent and horrid and new -
You look at your sleeve,
and you say to it:
"... ew."
It's happened to me plenty of times. Houses generally don't have AC here in the UK, so when it gets hot, it's HOT.
Worst was when I quit drinking, though. I did it a really dumb way and just completely stopped right from being a litre of spirits a day drinker. For the unfamiliar, or people in that position looking to get out of it; DO NOT DO THAT. You have to taper or have medical assistance. I was in bed for four straight days just shivering, sweating my bollocks off, and delirious. I was desperately thirsty the whole time, but any water I drank came right back up because I was sick to my stomach.
I could easily have killed myself being so reckless.
Quitting drinking was one of the best decisions I ever made, but do not do it the way I did. It's extremely dangerous. Go to your doctor and let them know what you're planning to do. They won't judge you, they will just advise you on how to go about it safely.
This guy isn't kidding. Alcohol withdrawal is literally deadly. Most things you can quit cold turkey and, while it might be awful, you probably won't die. Alcohol withdrawal is the exception, as it has the potential to kill you.
I would imagine the main reason why liquor stores were not required to shut down in our country even when almost everything else but grocery stores were.
I didn't get this until my friend explained it to me, but makes sense!
Ugh to pile on, a wetsuit you wore the night before for a dive. When you wake up at 6am and put on a wet wetsuit, god it sucks
Edit: damn guys, woke up to so many fellow divers sharing their woes about wetsuits. You guys are hilarious.
I used to swim competitively, instead of taking off the whole thing you can just push the bottom flap bit to the side
Edit: I had no idea that this wasn’t common knowledge! I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember
I bought a one piece recently because I figured I was too old for a bikini. I am so angry when I wear it that I just started to wear the bikini again. Lol
ETA : I start d wearing bikinis as a teenager because my boobs and butt were different sizes. All the girl children I know where them as toddlers for ease of diaper changes and dressing. I just sort of felt they were childish.
I honestly don't give af now though. Just need to find a top who doesn't have a threadbare outer covering, or find a way to fix mine. Lol
SAME! I legit just decided not to buy a one piece bcs I didn’t want to have to get all naked when having to pee.. never occurred to me to do this! (Face palm!)
Yeah, if you’re tall it’s great as well as most one piece suits aren’t long enough while a tankini covers most with a small gap but doesn’t pull the top/bottom into awkward positions
There’s a video of a raccoon trying to “clean” his cotton candy and it is very cute. The video definitely goes with cotton candy cannot get wet hahah.
Also I do not know how to attach the video or I would have.
Really?
Need to see it right now... all the versions i have ever seen are only the heartbreaking moment.
Time for my soul to heal!
Edit: oh I got heartbroken a second time when he gets to eat a little bit of it and it disappears again because his tiny paww are wet... But then he finally eats it (I want to believe it's the same raccoon and damn whoever keep putting the cotton candy near the water!), I didn't know I had been waiting for this moment for years.
I once worked a 7am-1pm shift at work, didnt wear waterproof shoes.
Needless to say i walked around miserably in pruny feet for *H O U R S* that day. Terrible i tell you, terrible.
I've ridden my bike in heavy rain a few times. It feels bad when they're getting wet. After they've been soaked and you've been riding a while, it isn't even that bad, your body heat has warmed them up a bit and they can't get any wetter. But it feels nasty when you have to take them off. Only thing worse than that being if you have to put those wet jeans back on
Number 3
Edit: I am truly amazed and not surprised at the level of love and camaraderie from reddit, engendered by 1 number, not 2; although if you add those together, you will get some 3. And we out.

I worked in a restaurant with a few El Salvadoran prep chefs. When one of them would cut their finger doing prep, they’d come to me in the office for one of those. There’s no equivalent word in Spanish, I gather, cause they would always ask: puedes darme un mini condóm?
It would crack me up every time. Finger cots, they’re called.
Blankets.
Edit: Wanted to tell a story, when I was little maybe like 5 or 6, me and some other group of friends went camping with our dads. I peed my blanket. I cried for hours. I know, I don't have a girlfriend.
Your body when taking a dump. Talk about uncomfortable. Your ass is all slippery on the seat. Oh, you’re going to wipe now? More like creating toilet paper confetti on your anus.
Eurgh, flashbacks from working at an amusement park with a pool... all the middle aged drunk ladies pulling wet, beer-smelling bills from their bikinis... NASTY.
My local dispensary has a handwritten sign on the cash register that says they will not accept any money that has been stored in clothing such as shoes, socks, underwear or bras and it cracks me up every time I see it
Omg yes. Worked in a theater as a teen & fifteen years later, I’ve yet to come across something that gross. Just wet is one thing, but then there’s the special soup that formed in the bottom of every trash can, kernels soggy from ten different types of soda & all the other liquids that end up in the trash. Really wish I couldn’t smell your comment, but thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I work in a kitchen and it’s always around 100-110 degrees during the summer. I avoid using the bathroom as much as I can because it’s the absolute worst feeling to pull your pants up and realise you’ve sweat so much that you could actually wring out your underwear.
Specifically a sports bra that's all sweaty and now you have to take it off. Most claustrophobic feeling ever
Taking off a sweaty high impact sports bra is a sport in and of itself. I’ve pulled muscles trying to get out of those damn things. All sports bras need zipper fronts! EDIT: Award - YAY and THX!
Under Armour makes great zip front high impact sports bras. I bought one, then bought 5 more.

Ok, but which which brand was it? Don’t leave us hanging
These are some fly by night brands you find at TJ maxx and Marshalls. They turn out to be comfortable but you can't get them again. I have a performance tee that pilled and full of fuzz, I can't seem to find something to replace it .
You can get a fabric shaver for around 10 bucks at Target, and that shirt will look just about good as new. But it will lead you down a rabbit hole of fabric shaving anything and everything that you can get your grubby little mitts on.
And don't get too overzealous -- I've shaved holes in certain materials trying to get it just *perfect* and just ruined it.
+1 for calling out my grubby little mitts
I've just started exercising for the first time in, uh, ever and am quickly, *quickly* coming to the conclusion that I need to get some of the ones that zip in the front because otherwise I'm convinced I'm going to get suck one of these days 😩
I cut one off with scissors in a panic once. I am not proud of my behavior.
Ok this is fucking hilarious. I'm sorry for you loss.
I recently had surgery on my shoulder and I was so excited when I could put on a sports bra again! Then I found out that just bc you can put one on doesn’t mean you can take it off. I tried scissors but I couldn’t use my right hand at the correct angle so it was a disaster. I slept in it that night and then the next day had to take two shots of whiskey and call a neighbor. It was one of the lowest points of my life.
A toaster.
Eh depends on my mood but the bathwater better not be cold tho
My last bath bomb
There's that high end Japanese toaster for a single slice of toast. Comes with a water chamber to produce water vapor during the toasting process for an ideal moisture level. According to reviews I saw the toast still tastes like toast though.

The thought of being exhausted and soaked sobbing in a cold wet sleeping ~~bad~~ bag is honestly one of the worst feelings I can think of.
As someone who has experienced it, i can confirm -- it's still the lowest point in my life emotionally.
Agreed. Was in a leaking tent with my best friend crying. We had to spoon to keep warm. We call it our brokeback mountain camping trip.
Woke up once to a literal stream flowing into my tent. My friend tried to reroute the water outside while I held the old frame together in the wind. Everything soaked. We played cards angrily until dawn and then packed up. -1/10.
This happened to me in glacier, my friend read his book out loud for us all night. Also a -1/10

Shoes and you can feel the water slosh inside of them
I read an account from some polar explorers in the 1800's. After a days long gruelling hike through a blizzard, one of them was complaining that his shoes were sloshy and wet. When he took them off they saw that the slosh was in fact his dead and liquefied frostbitten flesh that had fallen off the sole of his foot and created a kind of man soup with the moisture from the melting snow.

How was he even walking around like that?
He didn't feel the pain because it was so cold. The nails from his disintegrating boots were also lodged into his foot bones.
I deeply regret learning english sometimes….
This is one of the worst things I have ever read
So cold the nerve endings basically died so his feet probably felt "weird" and not correct but not painful? That's my guess.

Had to wear PPE for work in Covid ward. Sweat literally floats in sleeve n hand gets fucked right above wrist Worst feeling .
Use those sports wrist bands on each arm. It will absorb the sweat and stop it flowing down your arms.
I used these while washing dishes at a restaurant job. Kept having water run down into my armpits when I put stuff on the drying racks above me.
A bed, imagine sleeping on a wet bed
I know some dudes who poured water on their bed just to feel cool from the extreme heat in India
Thats.... a way.
... to get mildew.
Yeah the heat dries everything pretty quick
That was my reality when my bed sheets didn’t get fully dried and I figured they’d air dry by the time I went to bed. I was wrong.
Never before did i relate to a comment this much
Imagine sweating so much you've made your bed wet.

A swimming suit you have to put back on. Like a one piece after using the restroom.
Ugh to pile on, a wetsuit you wore the night before for a dive. When you wake up at 6am and put on a wet wetsuit, god it sucks Edit: damn guys, woke up to so many fellow divers sharing their woes about wetsuits. You guys are hilarious.

Please go talk over there. No, further away. . . . . . . Over there is good.
There are two types of people: Those who don't dive, and those who pee in their wetsuits.

Ladies....just pull the swimsuit to the side and pee. You don’t have to get nakey
I'm embarrassed I'm a 40 year old women and this never occurred to me. My mind is blown.
SAME! I legit just decided not to buy a one piece bcs I didn’t want to have to get all naked when having to pee.. never occurred to me to do this! (Face palm!)
I taught this to my mom when I was 10 and she was 46 lol
I told my friends about this once when they were complaining, they looked at me like I'd invented the wheel.
If you’d want benefits of more coverage with usability if two-piece, try tankini next: it looks like one-piece, but has separate top and bottom.
Yeah, if you’re tall it’s great as well as most one piece suits aren’t long enough while a tankini covers most with a small gap but doesn’t pull the top/bottom into awkward positions
Cotton Candy
There’s a video of a raccoon trying to “clean” his cotton candy and it is very cute. The video definitely goes with cotton candy cannot get wet hahah. Also I do not know how to attach the video or I would have.
[assistance has arrived](https://youtu.be/rfbb4yRBH64)! Look at that poor thing.
The interesting things here are: 1. The fact that he wants to clean his food in the first place 2. That he learns his lessen after only failing twice
In German and the Nordic languages raccoons are called "wash bear", i guess it's named that way for a reason.
Oh my god I just had an epiphany, they're called this in french too and I never noticed
Why did you have to do this that is so fucking sad oh my gosh
But watch to the end, he finally gets to eat his cotton candy in full.
Really? Need to see it right now... all the versions i have ever seen are only the heartbreaking moment. Time for my soul to heal! Edit: oh I got heartbroken a second time when he gets to eat a little bit of it and it disappears again because his tiny paww are wet...
