The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day. Well, it was, until your friends ruined it with those two words that haunt your every summer: beach day.

Every year you succumb to peer (and pier) pressure, and give it another undeserved chance, hoping that you and the beach can change. But deep down, you know that the coast just isn't your thing, and here's why:

Unpredictable weather

One man's beach season is another man's thunderstorm season.

Your friends usually bail last minute...

As easy as it is to make plans to go to the beach, it's even easier to break them.

...but every other a-hole shows up

The ironic thing about the crowds is that most of them hate it there too, because of the crowds.

Equipment failure

Wasn't this trip supposed to reduce your stress?

Birds

This is their house and they don't care about your good time.

Jellyfish aren't cool either

Technically, they're a gateway to getting peed on.

Wardrobe malfunctions

Every beach can be a nude beach if you're unlucky enough.

The travel

It seems pointless to spend over an hour in the car or train, commuting to a pile of sand-garbage.

Body shaming

We'll wear what we want, thank you very much!

Trying to get a photo of jumping in your bathing suit

It doesn't always end well.

Leg selfies

The struggle to have photogenic legs is real (and not great).

Recreational Water Illnesses

Sometimes beaches are so gross, they can make you sick.

Sun sensitivity

SPF that.

Mankinis

Not the kind of beach bums you were hoping for.

Too much sand

Our beef is with you, sand.

All the rules

At the end of the day, you didn't come all the way to the ocean to be told what to do.

Complete and total exhaustion

You wanted to relax, but somehow this is more draining than a 60-hour workweek.
