The fact we have to wear button downs or polos when it’s 100+ degrees and 80%+ humidity durning the summer. I sweat my whole ass off during the summer

Reminds me of when I did wildland. It could be 100 degrees out and on a dead section of the fire, and safety would be riding around on their ATV telling everyone to roll their sleeves down and put their gloves back on.
