Worst thing about your country?

We luckily don't have that many spiders here. Has been a while since I saw one. A bunch of rats and lizards in my house but nothing crazy. But jesus christ losing a finger by getting bitten by a spider is like a horror movie plot.
The problem with spiders here is that in the winter they come into our houses to warm up. But they also eat the flies that came inside so I guess there not that bad.

The #1 worst thing isn't a topic for this forum, so here's my #2 worst thing about my current country and more specifically the region where I live:

Grass pollen. From May till around mid-July (just in time for my birthday) it is SO BAD. I didn't use to be allergic to pollen, but something about either the different species of grass in this country or the sheer amount of pollen has changed that. It is utter agony and suffering, with a nose that will. not. stop. running for months. Antihistamine pills help, but don't eliminate the symptoms completely.

That's some interesting diversity. My country is not diverse when it comes to grass at ALL also almost no pollen here because I live in a very industrial area.

I relate my pollen allergies have gotten worse over the years + i have bad cat allergies so it’s torture, I have awful headaches even when I take my allergy medicine, have you tried flownase? It’s the only medicine that actually helps with my allergies

Um let’s just say America is unique right now. In a very not good way. There are worse places to live, but um America is not becoming great again. It’s more like a nightmare I hope we wake up from soon.
 
There are so many techy people in my region, it's not bad, but I know someone who was bribed to join the robotics club and there is a lot of focus on technology in t
This question practically cries out for a political statement, so here's something completely different: I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but here in middle Europe you can sit in the garden in September with a sunburn and eat gingerbread and chocolate Santa Clauses, since they are sold right after everyone is back from their summer holidays. Totally crazy... 😝
Yeah extreme planning ahead!!
