I Hate Living in Florida
Just a rant. I hate living in Florida sometimes. This past weekend, it was like 37 degrees in the morning, warming up to maybe the mid 50's or something. Today it's almost 90 degrees outside. What kind of crazy state is this? On sunday, orange growers had to cover their crop with water (which hardens into ice, actually protecting the oranges) to prevent damage, and today it's practically beach weather.
And, now, I'm sick because of the weather changes. They drive me nuts.

It’s probably the sponges… That or that there Global Warming!
It’s just like that here in Wisconsin. One day it is 70, next it’s -20… But in the over 20 years I have been here, the weather has always been goofy… Before that I was in St. Louis, MO… Just as goofy! Hell, one new years I went down the levee by the Arch and watched people water ski on New Years Day, on the Muddy Mississippi..
They do this every New Years Day, except it is usually cold… This time it was 70+. Go figure.

I have lived in Florida for 21 years, and it sucks. If my wife and daughter did not like it so much I would move.
The weather is horrid, hot and humid. It cools down for a day or 2 and then back to the heat. The view is always the same, green scrub… And the beaches on the central to north east coast are some of the ugliest I have ever seen….

I live in Michigan and it’s the worst state for fast drivers and change of weather. I hate this state, we are the worst for unemployment.Too many welfare people, because the people don’t know how to run this state properly.
I’ll take Florida over this state any day.

Michigan is the same way, too many foreigners, welfare, high unemployment rate, no more events due to the economy, and is building up s fast and not even leaving any wilderness to look at. This state sucks!

I’ve lived in Key West for 5 years. I lived in upstate New York until I graduated high school and I hated it so much up there that I had to go as far south as possible without leaving the U.S. I love it here, yeah my 1 bedroom apartment costs 1200 per month, but I love the island life. Everyone is really nice and there aren’t alot of stupid teenagers around here.

I HATE HATE HATE living Florida. #3 in the nation in crimes against children, #5 in violent crimes, why would anyone willingly move here is amazing. I had to move here for a job, that turned out have it’s portion of violence. I WANT OUT OF HERE! Unfortunately I am STUCK here until the job market starts to open up.

Plus, I DESPISE THE WEATHER!

Give me the mountains, cold weather, better life style and way of life. Not a beach person. I hate the day I chose to accept the job in Florida and the day I moved here. Despise this place! OMG! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

I hate Florida. The bugs. My gosh the bugs!! Palmetto bugs are huge and disgusting. And they could hide anywhere. I hate the heat. There are no hills and the scenary is always the same. And it is dirty(at least in N jax). Very few bike lanes and really no good parks to enjoy. Oh, and you have to travel most places by car. Not a very friendly city to those that like the outdoors. Can’t move cuz hubby has a good job.

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only who HATES living in FL!! I’ve been here for 24 years and I hate it more every year. I lived in Michigan for 16 years, and I miss it terribly! Yes, the winters are too extreme, but FL summers are extreme. Heat and humidity that stretches through fall absolutely sucks!! It’s the lack of seasons I miss. Fall is nonexistent in this state and that used to be my favorite time of year! My husband is a native here so I’m stuck here! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to leave, and I guarantee, I will NOT look back!

OH, I am repulsed by this state, it is absolutely HORRID. Taxed to death on your home and car (transfered a 20 yr old gift car to my son, cost nearly $400!) I HATE HATE HATE Florida! Wish we had stayed in Georgia or Ohio!!!!! YUCK STATE

Florida sucks! I am a native here and I can tell you it really sucks! The heat and humidity, and lonnngggg summers suck, the state laws suck, the school system sucks, pay sucks, bugs suck (sometimes literally), housing market sucks for those who wish not to be stuck here, the people suck ( many are ignorant and rude ) businesses suck, ……just to name a few. I can’t wait to leave this state as soon as we can save up enough money. Coming from a native that was born and raised in good ‘ole Florida. lol!

Florida totally sucks. I have had some good experiences here but living here is a joke. Let’s see, it’s nothing but a kind of dark green and scrubland everywhere you look. Its flat. There is no such thing as a curve, every road is straight as an arrow. It’s hot for 9+ months out of the year. There are no seasons and the dalm old yanks are horribly rude! I leave here and I make more friends in a week than you can here in a year. I’ve been stuck for 22 years… I’m tired of it. FLORIDA SUCKS!!!

sometimes i have terrible depression living in a shit run down city back in new england, then i have dreams of florida and feel so glad to wake up here. im scarred for life from living in florida for 7 years, i was just opening up and making friends when my family left for florida, it pretty much ruined my teenage-young adult years… i feel like those who come home from war and have flashbacks, yeah it was that bad, it is hell truly, all you people that say you been stuck thee for so many years show your floridian by being dumb and not getting the fuck out of that shithole (im mostly talking central floridawhere, key west is the prettiest of the ugly visions)

FLORIDA EFFIN’ SUCKS! PERIOD! Thank you!

I lived in Florida for 1 week and that was more than enough! I hate Florida! Florida is too hot, humid, rainy, buggy, stormy (especially hurricanes), and full of old, stupid, trashy, rude people! I live in Michigan now and it is paradise!!!! The people are friendly and intelligent, the state has the most beautiful natural beauty I have ever seen. I love the change in seasons. I love the beautiful snow at Christmas. I like having the temperature cool outside and warm inside – not miserably hot outside and freezing inside like Florida.

Where do I begin with this hellhole!?! Florida is an over-hyped joke of a hell hole. The cost of living is extreme. You run air conditioning 95% of the year. Groceries are sky high as high as mid-town Manhattan. The housing is grossly overpriced especially in Palm Beach County. The weather is horrible. The people are horrid. The crime rates growing like mold on one of these concrete cinder block garages they call houses. I am leaving and leaving for good.
