12 Things We Hate About Summer In Lebanon

Almost two weeks ago, we professed our love for summer in Lebanon. But if you’re starting to get sick of the humidity, mosquitoes, and, most importantly, Summer people, you’ll love this list of 12 things we hate about a Lebanese summer.


1. Having 15 different shades of skin

I wore a tank top once and now I’m literally a burnt mosiac.


2. Alternatively, sunburn

You thought you’d fix your different shades with a trip to the beach? You thought wrong. Also, this big ass star is in our face 24/7, attention whore much?

3. The humidity

I know I already said this in the introduction, but this really can’t be overstated. We haven’t even reached the peak yet, God help us all.


4. Saida-esque issues

The first discourse of this Lebanese summer has been quite terrible.


5. Overcrowded beaches

Lovely day to breathe on the beach fr.


6. The prices at the overcrowded beaches…

Just look at this shit


7. Diaspora

We don’t need to know which type of diaspora you are, so shut up. Welcome to Lebanon! That’ll be $500 please.


8. Sand

It’s everywhere, it’s in my keyboard rn, it’s on your screen, it’s behind you, run!


9. Younger siblings with nothing to do

Someone please, open the schools.


10. The way we can’t even get a visa to get out of this

If you ever catch me applying for a visa again, kill me.


11. Summer people vs winter people

The Avengers Endgame of 2023, as in it’s outdated, has always been terrible, and everyone needs to shut up about it.


12. All those damn weddings

You can’t all be getting married right? Who’s paying for all this?
