      I have no idea what you might mean…

      People might be unhappy to get rained on I suppose, due to the obvious chilling and moistening effects (though in Summer this can be quite refreshing)…

      … and I don’t mind drinking water at all…

      Hi kikijoe
      I guess people just don’t like getting wet! However sometimes when it has been really hot and humid, I love to stand out in the rain and get wet to cool down…and I love drinking water…it is very good for you!

      Rain is inconvenient! It’s also not as pure as the water you drink as it’s evaporated from puddles and the sea and lakes, all of which can be pretty dirty (hence how you can sometimes see rain marks on cars when they’ve dried). Plus feeling damp and wet isn’t a pleasant experience, and if you have particularly unruly hair (like me!) then rain makes it even worse!

      So I guess that’s why people react badly. It just depends on your perspective and situation on the day!
