Things That Exist But Shouldn't - Part 10

10) Sweat

Thanks to my science education, I understand that biologically, sweat is necessary. It helps to cool the body in times of stress, intense activity, or illness. Despite these logical reasons, however, I still can't help but hate it when I look like I got caught in the rain.

When I'm exercising, dripping in sweat only reminds me how unnaturally arduous my workout is. It is very hard to keep up the stamina to do push ups as my perspiration pools below me. Obviously, I prefer exercising in the pool. 

When I'm sick and already feeling crappy, sweating out the equivalence of my body weight while simultaneously shivering is just about as unpleasant as it gets.

The worst, however, is when you're in fancy clothes (think job interview) and your nerves + heavy clothing make it virtually impossible for your skin to ventilate. The result is your sweat is now contained within your rarely-worn clothes, and now you must pay to get them dry cleaned.
