    oh

    I hate to say it but yep i miss putting on winter gear & then realizing..oops.. Those were the days..

    I hate it when i'm sitting on the train with this leg brace on and people don't bother looking where they're walking! They end up tripping over my leg..I can only sit sideways with my leg out in the aisle..

    I also hate drivers who don't signal!

    Ditto on the forgotten HRM strap and the (!@$#$% not again!) bathroom break after getting everything all layered and buttoned and zippered and velcroed back up.

    I'm all dressed with all my winter stuff and then realize that I can't punch the buttons on the computer to reset it and I can't close the garage door using the digital keypad.

    I have a HRM but just despise using it!

    Teaching primary kids and having to spend half an hour getting everyone dressed up in snowpants, mitts, boots, hats, and scarves, for a 15 minute recess...

    This is what awed me most about the kindergarten our son went to - I got all riled up and impatient getting ONE kid suitably bundled up and ready to go out (while still happy+unhungry+toilet-breaked), and they had to do the same for maybe 6 kids each! And then handle all the sopping snowy clothes when they got back in! Man, I was impressed.
