When you go outside, it’s always a gamble. Sun? Cloudy? Hot? Cold? Mildew in the air? It’s all a crapshoot. Sometimes, Mother Nature pulls one over on us humans, delivering something so unforeseen and sucky that we can’t help but exclaim, “well, that sucks.”
Here are 50 of those times nature made people say just that. (And don’t worry – we’ve got a little bit of humor thrown in there to make things feel just a tiny bit better.) So, scroll down and see them for yourself.
