There's too much sand. It's too hot. They're too loud. There are too many children. The water is never the right temperature. I never put on enough sunscreen. There are too many seagulls. The sand is too hot. Boardwalks are much better. Of course, I'd rather stay inside the beach house and read. But I can't.

Sounds disturbing.
I had never seen that guy before in my life, and none of my friends had either.
He was just a totally random stranger following me around, like pretty close to me, and whispering at me for no reason whatsoever.
I would have gotten him a restraining order, if I had known who he was.

I would've ran around screaming bloody murder had he been following me.

I definitely considered it for a while.

Endermen give me the heebie-jeebies. Especially because they're supposed to be modeled after Slenderman. I once stayed up late watching horror Slender videos alone, the result was so weird most people don't believe it happened.

I've had a few moments like that in my life, although admittedly, not quite as creepy as that. I once had a guy ask me "what I was up to" while at a urinal. You know that's never going to be a productive conversation.

Talking of weird, we had someone get through two sets of security doors by tailgating and then pretend to be one of the town planning team before wandering off round the building until the police were called.

Huh. Looks like the security of your workplace needs a good verbal whipping.

Yeah, our problems are relatively minor in comparison. Most of our inconveniences take place in our teenage years. It's still a reality however that we aren't exactly masters of our biology, and having external appendages does have its drawbacks.
