The other day I was at the grocery store picking up some snacks. While I didn't hear any context or their conversation, as I was approaching the checkout, I heard an SC shout at one of the cashiers that phrase that we all know, "You Ruined Christmas!"
I wanted to shout at the SC that it's freaking AUGUST! Mind you, we recently broke our streak for most days in a row without ANY measurable rain (55 DAYS!) and I live in the western half of the state of Washington, know for its abundant wetness. If you don't know Western Washington weather, our winters are usually characterized by constant rain and fairly strong windstorms. So even if I was totally illiterate and didn't even know what a calendar was, I would probably realize that if it's 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit out and we haven't seen a single raindrop in almost 2 months, IT PROBABLY ISN'T WINTER!
Needless to say, the SC got plenty of strange looks as they headed out of the store with their cart.
